Implemented intelligent header rules based on user feedback.
Problem Analysis:
1. Dashboard submenu tabs already show page names (Overview, Revenue, Orders...)
2. Showing "Orders" header is ambiguous (Analytics or Management?)
3. Wasted vertical space for redundant information
4. FAB already handles actions on management pages
Solution: Headers ONLY When They Add Value
Rules Implemented:
1. Dashboard Pages: NO HEADERS
- Submenu tabs are sufficient
- Saves vertical space
- No ambiguity
Before:
Dashboard → Overview = "Dashboard" header (redundant!)
Dashboard → Orders = "Orders" header (confusing!)
After:
Dashboard → Overview = No header (tabs show "Overview")
Dashboard → Orders = No header (tabs show "Orders")
2. Settings Pages: HEADERS ONLY WITH ACTIONS
- Store Details + [Save] = Show header ✓
- Payments + [Refresh] = Show header ✓
- Pages without actions = No header (save space)
Logic: If there is an action button, we need a place to put it → header
If no action button, header is just wasting space → remove it
3. Management Pages: NO HEADERS
- FAB handles actions ([+ Add Order])
- No need for redundant header with action button
4. Payments Exception: REMOVED
- Treat Payments like any other settings page
- Has action (Refresh) = show header
- Consistent with other pages
Implementation:
Dashboard Pages (7 files):
- Removed usePageHeader hook
- Removed useEffect for setting header
- Removed unused imports (useEffect, usePageHeader)
- Result: Clean, no headers, tabs are enough
PageHeader Component:
- Removed Payments special case detection
- Removed useLocation import
- Simplified logic: hideOnDesktop prop only
SettingsLayout Component:
- Changed logic: Only set header when onSave OR action exists
- If no action: clearPageHeader() instead of setPageHeader(title)
- Result: Headers only appear when needed
Benefits:
✅ Saves vertical space (no redundant headers)
✅ No ambiguity (Dashboard Orders vs Orders Management)
✅ Consistent logic (action = header, no action = no header)
✅ Cleaner UI (less visual clutter)
✅ FAB handles management page actions
Files Modified:
- Dashboard/index.tsx (Overview)
- Dashboard/Revenue.tsx
- Dashboard/Orders.tsx
- Dashboard/Products.tsx
- Dashboard/Customers.tsx
- Dashboard/Coupons.tsx
- Dashboard/Taxes.tsx
- PageHeader.tsx
- SettingsLayout.tsx
Result: Smart headers that only appear when they add value! 🎯
WooNooW
WooNooW is a modern experience layer for WooCommerce — enhancing UX, speed, and reliability without data migration.
It keeps WooCommerce as the core engine while providing a modern React-powered interface for both the storefront (cart, checkout, my‑account) and the admin (orders, dashboard).
Three Admin Modes:
- Normal Mode: Traditional wp-admin integration (
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=woonoow) - Fullscreen Mode: Distraction-free interface (toggle in header)
- Standalone Mode: Complete standalone app at
yoursite.com/adminwith custom login ✨
🔍 Background
WooCommerce is the most used e‑commerce engine in the world, but its architecture has become heavy and fragmented.
With React‑based blocks (Checkout, Cart, Product Edit) and HPOS now rolling out, many existing addons are becoming obsolete or unstable.
WooNooW bridges the gap between Woo’s legacy PHP system and the new modern stack — so users get performance and simplicity without losing compatibility.
🚀 Key Principles
- No Migration Needed – Woo data stays intact.
- Safe Activate/Deactivate – revert to native Woo anytime, no data loss.
- Hybrid by Default – SSR + React islands for Cart/Checkout/My‑Account.
- Full SPA Toggle – optional React‑only mode for max performance.
- HPOS Mandatory – optimized datastore and async operations.
- Compat Layer – hook mirror + slot rendering for legacy addons.
- Async Mail & Tasks – powered by Action Scheduler.
🧱 Tech Stack
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Backend | PHP 8.2+, WordPress, WooCommerce (HPOS), Action Scheduler |
| Frontend | React 18 + TypeScript, Vite, React Query, Tailwind (optional) |
| Build & Package | Composer, NPM, ESM scripts, Zip automation |
| Architecture | Modular PSR‑4 classes, REST‑driven SPA islands |
