About this plugin
Hubu gives the logged-in half of your site the same care as the public half. Instead of dropping members into the WordPress admin, it builds a front-end dashboard on your own pages, with login and registration screens that look like they belong to your brand.
Everything is organised into modules you switch on from one screen, so a site that only needs a nicer login page never loads the rest.
User Panel
A complete front-end dashboard for your members: profile editing, activity and security widgets, all styled to match your brand.
The panel menu is yours to arrange. Rename, reorder or switch off its endpoints, choose who sees each one by role, pick an icon, and add your own content to an endpoint — no template editing required.
Authentication
Branded login, registration and password-recovery flows with strong-password rules, rate limiting, an international phone field, and a form builder to choose, order and label the registration fields.
WooCommerce
Merges the WooCommerce My Account area into the user panel: orders, downloads and addresses become native endpoints with matching icons and styling. WooCommerce’s own hooks keep firing, so extensions that add to My Account keep working.
This module only appears when WooCommerce is active.
Asset Cleanup
Blocks theme and plugin CSS/JS from the panel and login pages, so your layout stays pixel-perfect on any theme and loads noticeably faster.
Built to be extended
Every module exposes filters under the hubu/ prefix — dashboard boxes, panel menus, endpoint providers, notification templates and email views are all filterable. Notifications are delivered through a queue rather than during the request that triggered them.
Translation ready
Every string ships translatable in the hubu-panel text domain, with translations loaded from /languages.

Gravatar: profile pictures
The panel header and the account page show each member’s profile picture through WordPress’s own avatar functions. com, which receives a hash of the member’s email address and the usual request data, such as the visitor’s IP address. This happens whenever a panel page with a profile picture is displayed.
