WORDPRESS / ADMIN TOOLING & AUTOMATION
Trending Society Core Plugin
What Is This
Trending Society Core is a custom WordPress plugin that serves as the centralized control panel for the entire content operation. It unifies AI pipelines, social publishing, content management, and analytics into a single admin experience.
Rather than switching between multiple dashboards and external services, every operational workflow is accessible from within WordPress. The plugin connects to a backend MCP server for AI operations and handles multi-platform social distribution natively.
Why WordPress
WordPress powers over 40% of the web because content teams already know how to use it. By building operational tooling as a native plugin rather than a standalone dashboard, the entire workflow lives alongside the content. No context switching, no separate credentials, no synchronization overhead.
The plugin is theme-agnostic and follows WordPress coding standards. It uses hooks and filters instead of hardcoding anything, so it works with any theme or page builder.
Design Approach
The admin interface is designed to feel like a modern SaaS application while living natively inside WordPress. A custom design system with scoped styling prevents conflicts with core admin styles. Consistent design tokens govern spacing, color, and typography across every module.
