About this tool.
Dashbread adds a logged-in app at /app to any WordPress site. Your public site is untouched and keeps whatever theme it has. Signed-in members get something else: an app with its own sidebar, header, dashboard, notifications and pages, where every page or plugin you put inside it looks like part of one product instead of a stack of WordPress screens. Members never have to see wp-admin.
Everything in this plugin is fully functional, with no usage caps and no expiry.
Dashbread is made and maintained by Digital Bread, LLC ( digitalbread.com ). Docs and Dashbread Pro: dashbread.com .
What you get
- The app at /app – a responsive app shell (sidebar, header, breadcrumbs, light/dark mode) at a route you choose, with a conflict check.
- Hosted pages – tick “Show in Dashbread app” on any page or post and it opens inside the app, with a menu link, an icon and optional role visibility. Shortcodes from your other plugins (forms, courses, shops, support desks) work there as usual.
- Menus – an app sidebar, header and account menu under Appearance › Menus, with icons and per-role visibility per item.
- Dashboard – a real WordPress widget area. Use any widget; members can hide or collapse the ones they don’t need.
- Notifications – an in-app bell and a full notifications page, with built-in notices and an API ( dashbread_notify() ) for other plugins.
- Profile – profile, avatar, email change with confirmation, password, notification preferences, appearance and account deletion requests.
- Sign-in screens – login, registration and password reset screens that match the app, with optional redirects away from wp-login.php and wp-admin for members.
- Shortcodes – [dashbread_app_link] , [dashbread_login] , [dashbread_logged_in] , [dashbread_logged_out] , [dashbread_role] , [dashbread_show] , [dashbread_protect] , [dashbread_expire] and [dashbread_user] for your public pages.
- Admin – a single Dashbread menu with Dashboard, Settings, Hosted pages, Notifications, Pro & Add-ons and Help screens.
Dashbread Pro (optional)
A separately sold Dashbread Pro adds staff tools such as members and companies screens, plans and memberships, messaging, email delivery, a drag-and-drop dashboard, a field builder and a customizer, plus optional add-ons. Dashbread works on its own without it.
