Developer Overview

Understand Aurora Admin's extension surface.

Vue shellaurora-admin/v1 RESTMinimal hook surface

Aurora Admin frames native WordPress screens with a Vue application shell and exposes an aurora-admin/v1 REST namespace that its own UI consumes. Set expectations accordingly:

1

Vue shell

The shell can be turned off for the current request with one filter — see Filters — which returns you to native wp-admin chrome.

2

WordPress compatibility

Aurora reframes existing screens; it doesn’t change capabilities, roles, post types, or URLs underneath them.

3

aurora-admin/v1 REST

Real, working routes — see REST API — but they back Aurora’s own screens rather than a documented stable public API.

Aurora’s public extension surface is intentionally small: one filter (aurora_admin_shell_enabled), no custom action hooks for third parties, and 24 CSS custom properties for visual tweaks. If you need a deeper integration, build a standard WordPress plugin that doesn’t depend on Aurora internals — see Creating Extensions.
