📖 Overview

Coffeebrk Core is an enterprise-ready WordPress plugin developed for the Coffeebrk platform. It orchestrates automated news aggregation, rich social story experiences, dynamic custom fields, secure client authentication (Firebase & Supabase), and seamless Elementor page builder integrations.

✨ Key Features

📰 Automated Content Ingestion & Aggregators

• RSS Feed Engine: Scheduled WP-Cron background syncing with customizable fetch intervals, category routing, HTML sanitization, and feed health monitoring.
• X (Twitter) Collector: Automated & on-demand tweet/post ingestion via the X API, content normalization pipeline, and sync scheduler.
• Bulk JSON Importer: Admin tool to parse and bulk import structured article datasets with duplicate detection by source URL.

🎨 Elementor Pro Widgets & Dynamic Tags

• Interactive Stories Widget: Immersive, mobile-first Instagram/Facebook-style story viewer carousel with touch gestures, auto-gradients, and progress timers.
• Dynamic News Card Widget: High-performance article cards supporting external featured images, category badges, and source attribution.
• User Greeting Widget: Dynamic user greeting card with avatar, live auth state detection, and role-based personalization.
• External Image Widget: Renders hotlinked/external image URLs with automatic fallback handling.
• Dynamic Tags: Exposes post sources (_source_name, _source_url) and external image URLs directly into Elementor controls.

🔐 Multi-Provider Authentication

• Hybrid Auth Frontend: Preconfigured client integration scripts for Firebase Auth and Supabase Auth (Google One-Tap / OAuth popup support).
• Branded Auth Layouts: Built-in responsive login, register, and onboarding shell views.
• REST Security: Rate-limited REST authentication handlers, cryptographic nonces, and bearer token protection.

🔌 Extensible Headless & Public REST APIs

• *Public Endpoints (`/coffeebrk/v1/public/`)**: High-speed, cached endpoints serving posts, categories, web stories, and rich video embeds to frontend clients and mobile apps.
• *Secured Ingestion Endpoints (`/coffeebrk/v1/`)**: Token-authenticated endpoints for programmatic post creation, bulk updates, and external webhook integrations.

🛠️ Developer, AI Agent & Admin Tools

• Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server: Full MCP Server support enabling AI agents (Claude, Antigravity, Cursor, Windsurf) to draft, publish, search, and manage WordPress posts and metadata directly via natural language.
• Central Dashboard Hub: Multi-tab management interface for API keys, RSS feeds, X Collector, Aspires taxonomies, and Dynamic Fields.
• Centralized File Logger: High-performance, rolling JSON file logger with real-time log tailing in the admin area.

🚀 Installation

Requirements

• WordPress: 6.0 or higher
• PHP: 8.0 or higher
• Elementor (Optional, for custom widgets & dynamic tags): 3.5+

Setup

1. Clone or download this repository into your WordPress plugins directory:

   cd wp-content/plugins/
   git clone https://github.com/shojeeb1943/coffeebrk-core.git coffeebrk-core

2. Navigate to WordPress Admin → Plugins → Installed Plugins.
3. Locate Coffeebrk Core and click Activate.
4. Upon activation, default dynamic fields, aspirations, and scheduled cron jobs will automatically be initialized.

🧩 Elementor Integration

Coffeebrk Core automatically registers custom tags and widgets when Elementor is active:

📡 REST API Reference

The plugin exposes custom endpoints under the namespace coffeebrk/v1:

Public Endpoints (No Auth Required)

• GET /wp-json/coffeebrk/v1/public/posts — Fetch paginated articles with normalized meta and category filters.
• GET /wp-json/coffeebrk/v1/public/categories — List active categories and article counts.
• GET /wp-json/coffeebrk/v1/public/stories — Retrieve latest web stories for mobile and widget clients.
• GET /wp-json/coffeebrk/v1/public/video-embed — Resolve video embed HTML from external media URLs.

Secured Ingestion Endpoints (Bearer Token Required)

• POST /wp-json/coffeebrk/v1/posts — Create or update articles programmatically.
• POST /wp-json/coffeebrk/v1/posts/bulk — Ingest multiple articles in a single payload.
• DELETE /wp-json/coffeebrk/v1/posts/<id> — Delete a post by ID.
• POST /wp-json/coffeebrk/v1/auth/verify — Validate client auth session tokens.

Authentication Header:

Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>

⚙️ Configuration

Navigate to WordPress Admin → Coffeebrk Core to configure settings:

1. API Keys & Tokens: Generate secure Bearer tokens for external publishing pipelines.
2. RSS Feeds: Add, enable, disable, or manually trigger RSS feed synchronization.
3. X Collector: Configure X (Twitter) API credentials, target handles/keywords, and sync intervals.
4. Dynamic Fields: Define custom meta keys that dynamically appear on post edit screens.
5. User Aspires: Manage the list of selectable user professions/interests for onboarding personalization.
6. System Logs: View rolling diagnostic logs for RSS imports, API calls, and authentication events.

🔒 Security & Best Practices

• CSRF & Nonce Protection: All admin actions and form submissions are validated using WordPress nonces.
• Input Sanitization & Output Escaping: Uses strict WordPress sanitization (sanitize_text_field, esc_url_raw) and contextual escaping (esc_html, esc_attr, wp_kses_post).
• Rate Limiting: Built-in rate limiting on authentication routes prevents brute-force attempts.
• Direct Access Prevention: Every script includes defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit; guards.
