About the plugin

About WBP Designer

A WordPress plugin for advanced visual design: an AI-assisted section generator, brand-locked templates, image/hero generation, and export-ready design tokens — so pages ship polished, on-brand, and consistent.

WBP Designer is a first-class citizen inside the WP Bulk Publishing ecosystem. It ships as an installable WordPress plugin, exposes REST endpoints under its own namespace, and shares user, credit, telemetry, and entitlement plumbing with the parent runtime — so it never becomes a silo.

Every capability is documented, versioned, and gated by WordPress capabilities. You can run it in isolation, or connect it to the rest of the WBP suite for compounding value across content, SEO, publishing, and revenue.

The problem

Why the default workflow breaks down

01

Brand drift across templates

Colors, spacing, and typography quietly diverge across pages and sites. The brand system exists in Figma — but not in WordPress.

02

Media library chaos

Thousands of assets, no tags, no folders, duplicate uploads. Finding the right image takes longer than editing the article.

03

Design work bottlenecks publishing

Every new page waits for a designer to make a hero, a thumbnail, and a social card — even when 90% of it is repeatable.

04

Heavy assets kill Core Web Vitals

Unoptimized images, missing srcsets, and blocking scripts drag LCP into the red — and Google notices.

05

No source of truth

Design tokens live in one place, WordPress in another. Changing a brand color means editing dozens of templates by hand.

06

Franken-stack tool fatigue

Most teams stitch together 3–5 disconnected tools to do what WBP Designer does out of the box. Managing that stack becomes a second full-time job.

Security & privacy

Your data stays under your control

Runs on your own WordPress

Capability-scoped

Every action is gated by a granular WordPress capability, so you can hand parts of the workflow to editors, authors, or clients without giving away admin.

Auditable by default

Structured logging surfaces every configuration change and every automated action for compliance and post-incident review.

Access control

Role-based permissions for every team

Administrator

Full access to configure, install, and manage WBP Designer.

Editor / Manager

Use the day-to-day workflows without touching site-wide settings.

Author / Contributor

Restricted access to their own work; cannot change global rules or connected services.

Custom roles

Every capability is mappable, so you can build tightly scoped roles for clients or offshore teams.

FAQ

Questions? We've been asked before.

Do I need any other plugin to use WBP Designer?＋

WBP Designer runs standalone. When you install the WP Bulk Publishing parent runtime as well, it unlocks shared credits, telemetry, and cross-plugin signals — but nothing is force-bundled.

Will it slow down my site?＋

Front-end code is loaded conditionally on the templates that actually need it, and heavy work runs on background queues rather than blocking the request. Core Web Vitals stay green.

Can I use it on multiple sites?＋

Yes. Plans are site-based with per-plan seat counts, and you can push settings from a parent site to child sites via the WP Empire Controller.

Is my data ever sent to third parties?＋

Only when you explicitly authorize an external service (an AI provider, a webhook, a CDN, etc.). Core functionality is fully local by default.

How do I get support?＋

Every WBP plugin ships with documentation, an in-plugin support widget, and email + community support on paid tiers.

What are the technical requirements?＋

WBP Designer needs WordPress 5.0+, PHP 7.4+, and MySQL 5.7+ (or MariaDB 10.3+). Full multisite support is built in.

Can I extend it with my own code?＋

Yes. WBP Designer exposes REST endpoints under wbp/wbp-designer/v1 and a full set of WordPress action and filter hooks under the wbp_designer_ prefix.
