How to build custom WP admin with custom URLs

by

I would like to create a custom WP admin area, that uses custom URLs to navigate thought it and have a custom generated HTML.

A member will be able to login via a custom URL, for example: mysite.com/dashaboard or my.mysite.com When logged in a member will be able to see custom admin area where she/he can create pages, view/edit profile and so forth.

I know this is doable in WP. However, I can’t find anything that would explain the whole process well and take me through the steps in more detail.

Currently, I don’t know at all how to start tackling this. What’s the best URL structure as a subdomain or not? What other considerations should be thought about? How to seamlessly integrate login/logout/password reminder WP functionality? How to integrate WP page and post creation (I’m guessing via URL masking)?

I know this is a massive task. I would hugely appreciate if someone could explain a general picture of how to achieve this and what should be considered and help me to go through it step by step. Maybe someon can give me some pointers/links to research first, then I will get back to for help for the next step and so on.

This might be a massive task for the stackexchange, perhaps someone will consider becoming my programming mentor and we can communicate via email/skype.

I really much want to learn this. Please help me 🙂 I’m ready to invest time into research and learning, but I need guidelines and mentoring.

What do you guys think? Any ideas and pointers are much appreciated.

Thank you, Dasha

WordPress has some pretty solid documentation for this. What you are asking for will require that you learn a good bit of programming.

Check out here for basic plugin development information: https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin

This page has specific information about making your own administration panels:

If this is something you are passionate about I would consider looking around at local community colleges for courses in web programming. There are also numerous classes/guides available online if you learn well that way.
