Introduction
WordPress 2.7 is a work in progress. These
wireframes attempt to document the current state of
or plans for the application. In some cases, elements
may change as development proceeds, either
because of technical issues or to address usability Header: Access to dashboard(s), breadcrumb, search, favorites. Also, greeting/logout.
issues. In addition, elements may change during the
visual design stage. These wireframes are a guide
Status, Options, Filters, Alerts
for development that will be updated as necessary,
and are not set in stone.

2.7 will use a fluid design, rather than the fixed-width

of 2.5. The wireframes are scaled to represent an
actual browser window at 1024x768 resolution.

General Structure
The overall structure in 2.7 has changed to place the
primary navigation on the left side. This allows for
more vertical above-the-fold working space,
Primary
especially important when users access their admin
panel from laptops with screens wider than they are Navigation
Main Work Area
tall. Ultimately, this column will be collapsible for
users wishing to maximize their working area.

The header area has been reduced in height, and

includes breadcrumb navigation links in place of a
large screen headline in the work area. This also
serves to maximize the working area, as well as
providing alternate navigational access if the left
hand navigation column has been collapsed.

An area between the header and the work area will

provide access to screen display options, filters and
error or alert messaging as needed.

2.7 Wireframes v0.01: Introduction .2

Navigation
Navigation is on the left side, in expandable sections as outlined
to the right. Ideally an icon for each section header will be
created, allowing for a future implementation of a user-

top of the screen provide access to additional screens. By
default, the Posts section will be open on arrival at admin panel, Dashboard Appearance

2.7 Wireframes v0.01: Navigation .3

Header
The header has been revised. When in the
administration panel, the admin panel will not be
displayed by default. In the upper right is the
standard user greeting (links to profile) and logout
link. When the user has a gravatar, this will be
displayed as well.

On the far left, the WordPress mark will function as a WordPress.com

shortcut to other WordPress dashboards Dashboards:

Blogname 1
(wordpress.com and MU only) via a dropdown menu Blogname 2
Blogname3
and will have a link back to either wordpress.com or
wordpress.org as appropriate.

The blog name will be followed by breadcrumb

navigation that shows the current screen and its
parent section as well as a link to the Dashboard. A
new window icon following the blog title will link to
the live blog in a new tab or window. Following the
breadcrumb will be a small link for screen options.
Clicking this link will open a layer that allows the user
to select element s to display on screen, and in some
cases to access related settings.

To the right is a favorites menu that expands on

Dashboard
The redesigned Dashboard is intended to provide more
utility to the user. Modules may be hidden or displayed using
the Options link, may be expanded or collapsed, and may
be moved using drag and drop, allowing the user to place
modules of interest above the fold and in the order of
