MUST SEE: WordPress Dashboard Gets a Radical Redesign

Overview: This video demonstrates a plugin that transforms the WordPress admin into an operating-system–style interface with draggable, resizable windows, a dock, tile layouts and integrated AI. The presenter walks through desktop mode, multi-window editing, plugin shortcuts, customization settings and the GitHub repo, plus installation advice and practical use cases for improved workflow on demo sites.

– Features: draggable windows, maximize/close controls, a bottom dock for plugins, an integrated code view and an AI assistant integrated (e.g., ChatGPT). Widgets (clock) and media uploads are also shown.

– Workflow benefits: native multi-window editing and tiling reduce the need for multiple browser tabs or windows, making copying content between posts and managing plugins easier—especially on smaller screens.

– Installation & resources: the plugin is available on GitHub with a playground to try without installing; author recommends installing on a demo site, not a live site, and links to the repo for the zip and docs.

– Customization & potential: options include backgrounds, gradients, dock size, AI permission scopes and drag-and-drop media; the presenter frames this as both a fun UI revamp and a prototype for rethinking the WordPress dashboard.

Quotes:

This plugin turns the WordPress dashboard into an OS: draggable windows, a dock, and tile layouts.

You can have multiple windows open at the same time — no more juggling browser tabs.

Connect an AI assistant directly inside the dashboard and ask it to do work for you.
