The Real Problem:
After removing contextual headers, SubmenuBar still used headerVisible
logic to calculate top position. This caused the persistent top-16 gap
because it thought a header existed when it did not.
Root Cause Analysis:
1. We removed contextual headers from Dashboard pages ✓
2. But SubmenuBar still had: top-16 when headerVisible=true
3. Header was being tracked but did not exist
4. Result: 64px gap at top (top-16 = 4rem = 64px)
The Solution:
Since we removed ALL contextual headers, submenu should ALWAYS be at
top-0 in fullscreen mode. No conditional logic needed.
Changes Made:
1. SubmenuBar.tsx
Before:
const topClass = fullscreen
? (headerVisible ? "top-16" : "top-0") ← Wrong!
: "top-[calc(7rem+32px)]";
After:
const topClass = fullscreen
? "top-0" ← Always top-0, no header exists!
: "top-[calc(7rem+32px)]";
2. DashboardSubmenuBar.tsx
Same fix as SubmenuBar
3. App.tsx
- Removed headerVisible prop from submenu components
- Removed isHeaderVisible state (no longer needed)
- Removed onVisibilityChange from Header (no longer tracking)
- Cleaned up unused scroll detection logic
4. More/index.tsx
- Added handleExitFullscreen function
- Exits fullscreen + navigates to dashboard (/)
- User requested: "redirect member to dashboard overview"
Why This Was Hard:
The issue was not the padding itself, but the LOGIC that calculated it.
We had multiple layers of conditional logic (fullscreen, headerVisible,
standalone) that became inconsistent after removing contextual headers.
The fix required understanding the entire flow:
- No contextual headers → No header exists
- No header → No need to offset submenu
- Submenu always at top-0 in fullscreen
Result:
✅ No top gap - submenu starts at top-0
✅ Exit fullscreen redirects to dashboard
✅ Simplified logic - removed unnecessary tracking
✅ Clean, predictable behavior
Files Modified:
- SubmenuBar.tsx
- DashboardSubmenuBar.tsx
- App.tsx
- More/index.tsx
The top-16 nightmare is finally over! 🎯
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 |
