Description
GoalPrevail Custom Admin Screens lets you build backend-only pages with the standard WordPress editor and surface them inside wp-admin.
- Choose the Classic editor or Block editor per screen.
- Start from static prebuilt templates: Welcome Hub, Resource Center, Quick Links, Onboarding Guide, Announcement Board or a Starter Layout.
- When adding a new screen, choose a template from the popup or continue with a blank screen.
- Choose Easy or Expert mode when creating a screen, then change it later from Screen Settings.
- Templates are inserted as editable core blocks by default, and each screen can be switched to the Classic editor from its Screen Settings box.
- Compose admin screens with built-in widget shortcodes: grid, card, button, notice and a personalised greeting. Data-style widgets are still available when you need them.
- Each screen shows up on the admin menu — as a top-level item or grouped under one “My Screens” menu.
- Limit a screen to specific roles, specific users, or leave it open to every logged-in user.
- Mark a screen as a post-login redirect target. Individual-user targeting wins over role targeting, which wins over an unrestricted screen.
- Settings page: default interface mode, login-redirect master switch, default icon and menu placement.
- Screen Settings box: default color, interface mode, editor mode, access rules, redirect target and menu icon.
- The Admin Screens hub is available to users who can edit pages; the Settings tab remains limited to administrators.
- All screen content is sanitized with
wp_kses_post()before it is rendered.

FAQ
-
Can each screen use a different editor and default color?
-
Yes. Edit a screen and use the Screen Settings box to choose its default color and whether it opens in the Classic editor or Block editor.
-
What is Easy mode?
-
Easy mode keeps template creation simple by showing fewer action buttons. Expert mode adds template preview actions and fuller controls. Each screen can use its own mode.
-
Who can edit screens?
-
Users who can edit pages (administrators and editors by default).
-
Do shortcodes work?
-
Yes. Screen content renders blocks and shortcodes in the admin screen view.
-
Can other tools or AI read and write screens?
-
Yes, for authenticated users who can edit screens. Screens are exposed over the REST API at
/wp/v2/gpcas-screens, with reads limited to users with theedit_pagescapability so screen content is never exposed publicly, and the access rules, redirect flag and icon are registered meta fields. Thegpcas_user_can_view,gpcas_login_redirect_screenandgpcas_templatesfilters allow extending behaviour in code.
