Plugin Description

You MUST always do a backup before install it and always test it in a dev environment.

If you have any trouble open a ticket.

If you have any feature requests or code issue open a ticket on github.

ItalyStrap will add powerful features to your WordPress site.

Advanced Control Manager is also on GitHub.

Purpose

I developed this plugin with many features because I need them in all sites created for my clients, it also extends the ItalyStrap Theme Frameworks functionality, but it works fine with all WordPress themes.

Think about Advanced Control Manager like a Jetpack with many functionality that make your site more powerful and extensible, for example: Lazy load for image with srcset support, widget and shortcode for Twitter Bootstrap Carousel (with lazy load support), widget for displaying lists of posts type with a lot of options like popular posts, last posts, related posts and so on, there are a lot of functionality, see above for the full list of featured.

This plugin is fully developed in OOP. It utilizes DI Container, Dependency Injection, Polymorphism, Inheritance, etc.
If you are a developer you can extend it with his API (Dev docs coming soon).

Skills required

Some functionalities need to be personalized with lines of code, for example if you use the new widget for displaying posts you have to add your own CSS style to make it look like your site (you can add it in ACM > settings > Style > Custom CSS or in your theme style.css), I’m working on building some basic code snippets and documentation, but I need a lot of time to do it, please be patient with me :-).

Advanced Control Manager will always be free

This is my thanks for what WordPress has given to me.
