## 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.

### Widget shortcodes

 * `[gpcas_grid columns="3"]...[/gpcas_grid]`
 * `[gpcas_card title="..." icon="dashicons-marker"]...[/gpcas_card]`
 * `[gpcas_stat label="Leads" value="38" icon="dashicons-groups" trend="+12%"]`
 * `[gpcas_button text="Open" url="#" style="primary" icon="dashicons-plus-alt"]`
 * `[gpcas_notice type="success" title="..."]...[/gpcas_notice]`
 * `[gpcas_progress label="Target" value="48" max="100"]`
 * `[gpcas_recent_posts count="5" type="post"]`
 * `[gpcas_user_greeting]`

## Installation

 1. Upload the `goalprevail-custom-admin-screens` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
 3. Open “Admin Screens  Templates” to create a screen in one click, or “Add New” to
    start blank.
 4. Edit the content, then set access and redirect options in the “Screen Settings”
    box.

## 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 the `edit_pages`
capability so screen content is never exposed publicly, and the access rules, redirect
flag and icon are registered meta fields. The `gpcas_user_can_view`, `gpcas_login_redirect_screen`
and `gpcas_templates` filters allow extending behaviour in code.
