Aurora Admin is a complete, screen-by-screen replacement for wp-admin. Dashboard, media, posts, plugins, users, analytics, database explorer, activity logs, role editor, and more — all rebuilt from scratch.
The default WordPress dashboard is cluttered, confusing for clients, and hasn't fundamentally changed in two decades. Aurora Admin replaces every single screen — same WordPress data, completely new experience on top.
It's not a theme. It's not a skin. It's a full application built on Vue.js and Tailwind CSS that takes over wp-admin entirely.
Aurora Admin isn't a partial makeover — it replaces every core admin section with a dedicated modern application.
Customizable tab layout with reorderable cards — recent posts, scheduled content, comments, analytics, and site health. Per-post-type filtering and tab visibility controls per user.
Modern list view with fast inline editing, column controls, and bulk actions. Full custom post type support. Integrated SEO fields and custom meta in the editor sidebar.
Grid and list views, media tags and folders, bulk editing, media replace, file analytics, and smart search. Handles large libraries without sluggishness.
Clean modern plugin interface with status indicators, 1-click updates, plugin metrics, ZIP upload with replacement, and a confirmation modal showing version info before replacing active plugins.
Modern user table with detailed user drawer — roles, last login, activity history. WooCommerce customer data and full order analytics appear inline for WooCommerce stores.
Clean, responsive comment moderation replacing the chaotic default. Approve, trash, spam, and reply — all without a page reload.
Built-in analytics with page views, unique visitors, referrers, and active users. Connect Google Analytics 4 to pull your GA4 data directly into the dashboard.
Built-in + GA4Every user action — logins, edits, publishes, deletes, plugin changes — recorded with timestamp and user attribution. Essential for multi-user sites and agencies.
Audit ReadyA Supabase-style modern database browser built into the admin. Browse tables, run queries, and inspect rows directly — without phpMyAdmin or SSH.
NewCreate, clone, and edit WordPress user roles with granular capability toggles. Create a new role from a copy of an existing one as a starting point.
Drag-and-drop admin menu builder with per-role assignment, shortcut favorites, submenu nesting, and intelligent pointer-intent hover behavior.
Unified settings covering global options, login page customization, media settings, admin favicon, Google Font selector, text replacement for white-label, and server health.
These aren't cosmetic tweaks — they're entire capabilities missing from WordPress core.
A Supabase-inspired database explorer built directly into WordPress admin. No phpMyAdmin, no SSH. Browse tables, inspect rows, and run SQL queries right from your browser.
Every meaningful action captured — post edits, logins, plugin installs, settings changes, deletions — with timestamps and user attribution in a dedicated database table with automatic cron cleanup.
Aurora Admin includes its own lightweight analytics engine — page views, unique visitors, referrers, and active users stored in your own database. Optionally connect Google Analytics 4 to pull GA4 data into the same dashboard.
Agency and Unlimited licenses unlock full white-label control. Replace every piece of Aurora Admin branding with your own — logo, colors, plugin name in the plugin list, text replacement system, custom login page, and admin favicon.

Get Aurora Admin – UnlimitedYes. When Aurora Admin is active, navigating to /wp-admin loads the Aurora interface for every core screen — dashboard, posts, pages, media, plugins, users, comments, settings. You can toggle back to the default WordPress admin at any time from your user profile or by deactivating the plugin.
No. Aurora Admin is a presentation layer only — it doesn't change how WordPress stores or processes data. Plugins that add their own admin pages, settings screens, and meta boxes continue to work. We actively test against WooCommerce, RankMath, Solid Security, and others.
The Database Explorer is a Supabase-style interface for browsing your WordPress database directly from the admin. It is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled in Settings → Database. It is restricted to administrator-level users only via the REST permission system.
Aurora Admin hooks into WordPress core actions to capture meaningful events — post edits, publishes, deletions, user logins, plugin installs and updates, and settings changes. Events are stored in a dedicated database table with automatic cleanup via WP-Cron. The log is filterable by user, event type, and date.
Yes. The block editor loads within the Aurora Admin interface with UI polishing applied to the toolbar and sidebar. The post editor sidebar also surfaces SEO fields (with RankMath/Yoast) and custom meta directly.
Agency and Unlimited licenses unlock full white-label control: replace the logo, custom colors, rename the plugin itself in the plugin list (so clients never see "Aurora Admin"), text replacement for any admin string, custom admin favicon, and a fully designed custom login page.
Yes. Aurora Admin exposes a Toolbar Render API, a Sidebar Render API, a Dashboard Card API (supporting both React and Vue components), and a Global Search Quick Actions API. Standard WordPress hooks and filters work throughout.
Yes — the Unlimited plan includes a lifetime license option at checkout. Pay once and receive all future updates with no recurring fee.
