Changelog

Other
  • Released Released 17 August 2026 *
  • Applies when signing in to wp-admin and when an already-logged-in user visits the login screen
  • Explicit redirect_to targets (for example returning to a post after the session expired) are still honoured
  • Admin Framework is unaffected
  • Other plugins can pass URL or path fragments (e.g. `/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/`) so their admin CSS is wrapped in a named layer
  • SiteGround Security (`sg-security`) stylesheets are layered by default
  • uiXpress’s own sheets are never layered; `uixpress/style-layering/exclude` still wins when both match
  • Parent items open a nested panel with a back control instead of expanding inline or flying out
  • Uses Motion for Vue (motion-v) for directional slide transitions between menu levels
  • Active submenu items now use the same background, border, and text treatment as top-level active items so they remain clearly distinguishable on light backgrounds
Added
  • per-role redirect after login for the classic wp-admin shell
  • Login setting “Redirect after login” maps each role to a wp-admin destination (dashboard, posts, pages, custom path, and more)
  • `uixpress/style-layering/include` filter to opt extra stylesheets into CSS layering
  • drilldown submenu style for the admin menu
  • “Drilldown” option under Menu → Submenu style alongside Click and Hover
Fixed
  • active submenu item contrast in light mode
