nixpanelandClaude Sonnet 5 fb93888d3f Wire up remaining placeholder settings, implement menu search (v2.4.0)
- Custom dashboard, Modern plugins page, and Modern comments page
  toggles previously had no effect at all — their respective takeovers/
  redirects (DashboardTakeover, SubApps' Plugins/Comments handling,
  MenuSerializer's link rewrites) ran unconditionally regardless of the
  setting. All three now default to their previous always-on behavior
  but can actually be turned off.
- Menu search had zero implementation. Sidebar.vue now shows a real
  search box (gated on the setting) that filters both the WP-native menu
  and the Aurora nav section by title, auto-expanding matching sections.
- Removed "Modern posts table" and "Modern users page" toggles (and
  their now-empty Posts/Users settings categories) — both described a
  custom management page that was never built. A checkbox with nothing
  behind it is worse than no checkbox.

Verified all four live: dashboard/plugins/comments toggles correctly
flip between the Aurora and native experience and back; menu search
filters correctly and clears back to the full menu.

# Changelog
All notable changes to Aurora Admin are documented here, one entry per
version bump. Starts at 2.1.0 — earlier history (the theming rebuild,
window chrome/taskbar, Site Editor support, etc.) lives in `git log` and
`PROJECT_STATUS.md`, not reconstructed here.
## [2.4.0] - 2026-07-04
### Added
- Settings > Menu's "Menu search" toggle now actually does something —
previously had no implementation at all. Shows a real search box at the
top of the sidebar that filters both the WP-native menu list and the
Aurora nav section by title, auto-expanding every section with a match.
### Fixed
- Settings > Dashboard's "Custom dashboard" toggle now actually gates the
dashboard takeover — previously the Aurora dashboard always replaced the
native one regardless of this setting, with no way to turn it back off.
- Settings > Plugins' "Modern plugins page" and Settings > Comments'
"Modern comments page" toggles now actually gate their respective
takeovers/redirects the same way — previously both ran unconditionally
regardless of these settings.
### Removed
- Settings > Posts' "Modern posts table" and Settings > Users' "Modern
users page" toggles — both described a custom management interface that
was never built. Shipping a checkbox with nothing behind it is worse
than not having the checkbox; removed rather than left as dead UI. Their
categories are removed too, since they had no other fields.
## [2.3.1] - 2026-07-04
### Fixed
- Sidebar accordion now treats the "Aurora" branded nav section as part of
the same single-open accordion as the WP-native menu list, instead of
being the one exception that stayed open regardless of what else was
expanded. Expanding any native section now collapses Aurora too, and
vice versa.
## [2.3.0] - 2026-07-04
### Added
- Settings > Media's "Allow SVG uploads" toggle now actually does
something — previously existed in the UI with no implementation behind
it, so every SVG upload was rejected. Fixes both of WordPress's default
blocks (the `upload_mimes` allowlist and the real-mime sniff that nulls
out the file type for SVGs specifically), plus a PHP warning
(`wp_get_missing_image_subsizes()` reading undefined `width`/`height`
metadata keys that SVGs never had) that could otherwise corrupt the
upload response on environments with warnings displayed inline. Also
does basic sanitization on upload (strips `<script>` tags, inline event
handler attributes, `javascript:` URIs) since SVG can carry executable
content.
## [2.2.0] - 2026-07-04
### Added
- Settings > Login's "Style login page" and "Login logo" fields now
actually do something — previously they existed in the UI with no
implementation behind them at all. Styles `wp-login.php` with a dark
theme (background, card, inputs, button) and swaps in the configured
logo image in place of the WordPress logo, linked to the site's home
URL instead of wordpress.org.
## [2.1.1] - 2026-07-04
### Fixed
- Image fields (Logo, Dark mode logo, Login logo, Admin favicon) now open
the real WordPress media library picker. `wp_enqueue_media()` was never
called, so `wp.media` was undefined client-side and every image field
silently fell back to a plain URL prompt instead.
## [2.1.0] - 2026-07-04
### Added
- Free/paid feature gating: Role Editor, Activity Log, Database Explorer,
Analytics, White Label, and the remote site switcher are now Pro
features. Menu Creator, Admin Notices, Comments, Plugins, and the core
shell/theming stay free. Locked pages show an upgrade prompt instead of
the real feature; the sidebar shows a lock badge on locked items.
- Real license validation against the `auroraplugins.com` license server
(validate/activate/deactivate), replacing the earlier placeholder that
treated any non-empty key as active. Status is cached for 12 hours and
re-checked immediately on a license-key change. The Settings page shows
a live status line (active/invalid/unreachable) under the License key
field.
- File-integrity tamper protection: if the code implementing the license
gate has been modified, every paid feature re-locks regardless of an
otherwise-valid license — makes stripping the check out of a
redistributed copy not actually unlock anything.
### Fixed
- Role Editor's REST endpoint 500'd when hit via the REST API — it called
`get_editable_roles()`, which WordPress only auto-loads for normal
wp-admin page requests, not REST requests.
