FAQ
-
Does this replace WordPress admin screens?
-
No. PufferDesk wraps existing admin screens where possible so WordPress and plugin compatibility stay intact.
-
Can I return to Classic Admin?
-
Yes. Use the Classic Admin option in PufferDesk, or open
/wp-admin/index.php?pufferdesk_classic=1. -
Will my existing plugins still work?
-
Most should. PufferDesk opens existing WordPress admin screens inside windows, so plugin admin pages usually continue to run as normal.
-
Can each user customize their own workspace?
-
Yes. Theme, layout, window positions, launcher placement, widgets, folders, and other workspace preferences are saved per WordPress user.
-
What if an admin screen does not behave well in a window?
-
Use Classic Admin for that screen. PufferDesk is designed to keep the normal WordPress admin available as a fallback.
