Core Framework

Core Framework is a visual CSS framework and design-token builder. Define colors, typography, spacing, layouts, components, utility classes, and custom styles in one project, then generate the CSS used by your WordPress site. The plugin and all included integrations are free and open source. There is no license activation and no paid feature gate. Features

• Visual framework and design-token editor
• Fluid typography and spacing scales
• Color shade and tint generation
• Utility classes, components, layouts, and custom stylesheets
• Project import and export
• Gutenberg integration
• Bricks integration
• Oxygen integration
• Figma synchronization

Integrations Enable the integrations you use from Core Framework → Add-ons. Gutenberg, Bricks, Oxygen, and Figma support are included with the plugin; they are not separate paid add-ons. Marketplace The Core Framework Marketplace sells optional design kits and packs. Those content products are separate from the plugin and are not required to use any Core Framework feature or integration. External services Core Framework works without a Core Framework account or hosted Core Framework backend. It makes an external request only when an administrator explicitly asks for one:

• The bundled font catalog is local. Selecting or previewing a Google Font requests CSS from https://fonts.googleapis.com. Importing it also downloads font files from https://fonts.gstatic.com, after which WordPress serves the saved font files locally. Requests identify the selected font family and variants; as with any web request, Google receives connection information such as the site's IP address and user agent. No Google API key or Google account is required.
• Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
• Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Direct Figma-to-WordPress synchronization connects the Figma plugin directly to the user's own WordPress site using a connection key created by a site administrator. Project data is not routed through Core Framework servers.
• Remote project import is optional and runs only when an administrator pastes a shareable project link or project ID and submits it. WordPress then requests that project from https://us-central1-core-framework-6bdc9.cloudfunctions.net/getPreset. The request is made by the server rather than the browser, sends no credentials, and the endpoint is read-only: it returns a project only when its owner has marked it as public. Nothing is sent unless an administrator submits a link, and no account is required to import one.

Apart from the requests listed above, the plugin's administration interface, image previews, project storage, CSS generation, and included integrations do not load assets from Core Framework servers. Core Framework does not contact a licensing server and does not require account activation. Licensing Core Framework's original source code is licensed under the MIT License. Bundled dependencies retain their own open-source licenses. The release archive includes third-party-notices.txt for adapted source and artwork and third-party-licenses.txt for the complete production dependency inventory.

2.0.1

• Fixed the Auto BEM class generator not appearing in the Bricks structure panel after updating to 2.0.0.
• Restored remote project import from a shareable project link or project ID.
• Fixed Bricks synchronization for empty class sets, and reported pushes that fail rather than passing silently.
• Fixed Figma plugin host message handling and the WordPress URLs used inside the Figma sandbox.
• Allowed the Figma connection key header through the REST CORS preflight so Figma synchronization reaches the site.

2.0.0

• Released Core Framework as free and open-source software under the MIT License.
• Included the Gutenberg, Bricks, Oxygen, and Figma integrations without license checks or paid feature gates.
• Updated the Oxygen 6 integration for Oxygen 6.1 and newer. Sites using Oxygen 6.0 should update Oxygen before installing Core Framework 2.0.
• Replaced the Google Fonts API-key integration with a bundled catalog and keyless public endpoints.
• Replaced the shared Figma cloud credential with direct, site-scoped connection keys.
• Moved generated CSS to WordPress uploads storage and preserved it when upgrading from Core Framework 1.10.4.
• Removed retired EDD licensing options while preserving site projects, integration preferences, fonts, and Figma connections.
