- One-click install of recommended free companions, straight from WordPress.org.
- Starter content to give your new site a head start.

常见问题:
Do I need a Pixelgrade.com account or a license?
No. Pixelgrade Assistant works fully without an account or a license. You can install the recommended free plugins, import starter content, and use the dashboard with no connection at all. Connecting an account is optional and only adds extras like cloud starter content and premium support.
What is Pixelgrade Plus?
Pixelgrade Plus is the optional premium companion for the Pixelgrade LT stack — advanced design tools that build on everything in the free stack. You can keep using the free stack indefinitely; Plus is there if you want more. Learn more at pixelgrade.com.
I'm already using Pixelgrade Care — will this conflict?
No. If Pixelgrade Care (our legacy companion for premium themes) is active, Pixelgrade Assistant detects it and stays out of the way — it does not load a second dashboard or touch your existing license. Your current setup keeps working exactly as before. New LT-stack sites use Pixelgrade Assistant, with Pixelgrade Plus as the optional premium path.
Is this plugin tracking me?
Pixelgrade Assistant does not perform advertising, cross-site, or event-level behavioral tracking. The first-party services required for configuration, documentation, design assets, and starter content automatically retain your canonical site URL and the minimal operational context listed in the External services section. They do not receive your site content, credentials, license hashes, support messages, email address, user name, or IP address as part of the site registry.
更新日志:
2.3.1
- Starter Sites imports are more resilient to undeclared commerce content, unavailable layout units, media edge cases, and interrupted full-site runs.
- The starter composer now opens with the Full site preset, explains re-applying inline, shows useful feature tags, and offers clear next steps after a successful apply.
- Fix: canonical plugin installs are preferred over renamed backups, and account/theme configuration stays safe during early WordPress bootstrap.
- New onboarding: an essentials-first Site Setup checklist can install or activate Anima LT, Style Manager, and Nova Blocks from one place.
- Design previews: Styles now shows live, site-specific color and typography previews that refresh with Style Manager changes.
- Companion extensions: new contributed sections for Styles and Setup, plus setup-readiness checks that participate in the overall status.
- Starter imports now repair missing media on re-import, skip unavailable optional taxonomies, and exclude locked WooCommerce content and settings while preserving server-side enforcement.
- Service infrastructure: functional Pixelgrade requests now use a documented first-party site registry with explicit URL/stack context and aggregate service reporting.
- Fix: remote theme-configuration lookups are now strictly rate-limited with a cached fallback, eliminating the excessive background requests to pixelgrade.com that some installs generated.
- Fix: a PHP 8.2 deprecation notice (dynamic property) in the navigation menu integration.
- Fix: the editor docs launcher now uses WordPress core's interface package, avoiding a duplicate
core/interfacestore warning in the Site Editor. - Onboarding: a failed starter import can be retried right from the error state, without re-asking the "already imported?" confirmation.
- Onboarding: after a full starter import, the default WordPress sample content is moved to trash and the Layouts card correctly reflects the import.
- Onboarding: recommended plugins now install inline within the starter apply flow, a Get Started checklist guides the free path, and the duplicate "Install Plugins" menu item is gone.
- Smaller release package — internal development docs are no longer bundled.
- Fix: Anima LT is now recognized out of the box — the free WordPress.org build no longer comes up unrecognized, so starter sites, recommended plugins, and the setup wizard all work as intended.
- Style Manager now appears alongside Nova Blocks as a recommended companion, so the full free Pixelgrade LT stack sets up in one pass.
- New home: the whole experience now lives under Appearance → Pixelgrade Design — a calmer hub organized into Home, Design System, Starter Sites, Layouts, Page Patterns, Setup, Account, and Help.
- Starter Sites: pick a free Anima LT starter (Hive, Rosa, Mies, Felt, Julia, or Pile LT), preview it, and choose how much of it to apply.
- Layouts: browse and apply individual templates and parts with live previews, without importing a whole site.
- New: Page Patterns — add ready-made page designs to your site.
- Help & Docs: a redesigned Help tab and a floating documentation window that follows you across the dashboard and opens articles right where you are working — no new tabs.
- Account: optional, account-free by default; connect a free Pixelgrade account for support when you want it, and it coexists cleanly with Pixelgrade Care.
- Plenty of clearer, jargon-free copy throughout, plus performance and reliability improvements to previews and starter imports.
- New: Pixelgrade Docs sidebar - browse, search, read, and rate your theme's documentation right inside the block editor.
- Finished moving account and license features out to the optional Pixelgrade Plus companion; the free plugin is now fully account-free.
- Added extension points so companion plugins (like Pixelgrade Plus) can build on the dashboard cleanly.
- The starter content card now always shows, regardless of any leftover connection state.
- Fixes: bundled translations now load correctly; in-dashboard documentation resolves to the right theme; hardened starter-content downloads against unexpected sources.
- Under the hood: modernized the build toolchain (Node 20 LTS, Dart Sass) and cleared all dependency security advisories.
- Reborn as the free, community-first companion for the Pixelgrade LT stack (Anima LT, Style Manager, and Nova Blocks).
- No account and no license required — install the recommended free plugins from WordPress.org and import starter content right out of the box.
- Removed the legacy in-dashboard support overlay, the external-plugin installer, and the account/license machinery. Premium design tools now live in the optional Pixelgrade Plus companion.
- Calmer dashboard — the header reflects your theme's health, with no connection nags.
- Added a clear "External services" disclosure; usage data is strictly opt-in and off by default.
