Who Is Smart Admin Assistant For

• Site Owners/Administrators – Business owners, bloggers, and organizations who need specific functionality for their websites but may not have technical expertise to code solutions themselves.

• Content Creators – Writers, marketers, and content managers who use plugins to enhance their publishing workflow, and content presentation.

• Developers/Agencies – Web developers and agencies who use plugins as building blocks to create custom solutions for clients, extending WordPress functionality without reinventing the wheel.

• Small to Medium Businesses – Companies that need professional website features without custom development costs.

Pro version

A separate premium plugin, Smart Admin Assistant Pro, is available from store.bdthemes.com. It is installed alongside this plugin and adds its own modules (SEO, activity log, SMTP, menu customization, and more). Everything listed above works without it.

Smart Admin Assistant 2.4.0 requires Smart Admin Assistant Pro 2.4.0 or newer.

External Services

This plugin does not connect to any third-party service. It sends no telemetry, checks no remote feeds and loads no remote fonts or scripts.

The only HTTP requests it makes are loopback requests to your own site — for example fetching your homepage, robots.txt, a sitemap URL or a core script URL from your own domain — and only when you run the site-health scan from the plugin dashboard. Nothing is sent to any external server.

Source Code and Build Process

This plugin ships with the complete, human-readable source for every generated
file it loads. Nothing you need in order to read, study, modify or rebuild the
plugin is withheld.

• src/admin/ — React source (JSX) for the admin application, built to dist/admin/
• src/scss/ — Sass source for every stylesheet, built to dist/css/
• src/js/ — JavaScript source for the classic admin screens, built to dist/js/

The build configuration is included as well: package.json, webpack.config.js
(via @wordpress/scripts), vite.config.js, postcss.config.js,
tailwind.config.js and tailwind.preset.js.

To rebuild the distributed files from source, from the plugin directory:

npm install
npm run build

npm run build runs `@wordpress/scripts` (webpack) for the React admin app and

Vite for the stylesheets and classic scripts, writing the result to dist/.
npm run dev and npm run dev:scss are the watch-mode equivalents. The PHP
autoloader is generated with composer dump-autoload -o.

No minified third-party library is bundled without its source.
