Corevum replaces the cluttered WordPress admin with one clean dashboard for content, media, forms, comments and settings. It keeps WordPress's own editors and permissions, with classic WordPress always one click away. It is built for site owners who find the default admin overwhelming, and for agencies handing sites over to clients.
Everything is a module
Open
Modules and switch off anything another plugin already does. A module that is off loads no code at all (no scripts, no database queries, no menu items), and switching it off never deletes what it created.
Forms
- Build contact, quote, call-back and newsletter forms from templates, with a live preview.
- Text, email, phone, message, number, web address, date, dropdown, radio buttons, checkboxes, consent and section headings, full or half width.
- Add a form to any page with the Form block or a shortcode.
- Entries are kept in the workspace with an inbox, search, spam and trash, and can be exported to CSV.
- Email notifications with placeholders and reply-to.
- Spam protection that works with page caching: a hidden honeypot, a signed time check and a per-visitor limit. No puzzles, no cookies and no IP addresses stored.
- Forms work without JavaScript, and submit in place when it is available.
- Entries are included in WordPress's personal data export and erase tools.
Post types, taxonomies and custom fields
- Create custom post types such as Projects, Team or Testimonials, with their own icon, address, archive and editor features.
- Create category-style or tag-style taxonomies and attach them to any content type.
- Add field groups to any content type: text, paragraph, number, email, web address, date, dropdown, radio buttons, checkboxes, yes/no, image and colour.
- Show fields with the
[corevum_field] shortcode, corevum_the_field() or corevum_get_field(). Values are ordinary custom fields, so get_post_meta() works too, and they are available in the REST API.
The workspace
- An overview with publishing activity, things that need attention and a site status panel.
- Content with bulk status changes and one-click duplication, with custom post types listed alongside posts and pages.
- Categories, tags and custom taxonomies in one place, with drag-and-drop nesting.
- A media library with nested folders (also in the WordPress media picker), an image editor that crops to common shapes, rotates, flips and resizes while keeping the original, and ZIP downloads.
- Comment moderation with approve, reply, spam and trash, one at a time or in bulk.
- A compact plugin manager, themes, updates and Site Health.
- Jump anywhere with Cmd/Ctrl + K, keyboard shortcuts, light and dark themes and a collapsible sidebar.
Site tools
- Performance switches to remove emoji scripts, embeds, XML-RPC, the generator tag, jQuery Migrate on the website and more. Each one is off by default and fully reversible.
Pro add-on
Corevum Pro is an optional, separate add-on for agencies and people who look after several sites. It adds an activity log, maintenance mode, redirects, white-label branding and login page, login destinations by role, menu and role editors, a simpler client view with presets, plugin impact measurement, bulk featured images and file replacement, and a faster WooCommerce workspace. Every paid plan includes every Pro module; plans differ only in how many sites they cover. Nothing in this plugin is locked or time-limited.
