Have an idea for a module that would make Switchboard even better? We’d love to hear it! Module requests from users help shape the future of Switchboard Pro.

What Makes a Good Module Request

The best module ideas are:

• Useful to many users - Features that solve common WordPress problems
• Focused and specific - One clear purpose, not a complex multi-feature system
• Lightweight - Can be implemented without heavy dependencies
• Not already available - Check our 147 existing modules first

Current Module Categories

We organize modules into these categories:

• Admin - Dashboard and admin area enhancements
• Content - Content creation and display tools
• Media - Image, video, and file management
• Optimization - Performance and speed improvements
• Security - Protection and hardening features
• User Management - User roles and capabilities
• Utilities - Miscellaneous helpful tools

Example Request

Module Name: Author Box

Problem: I want to display author information at the end of posts
without installing a dedicated plugin.

How it works:
- Automatically adds an author box after post content
- Shows author avatar, name, bio, and social links
- Customizable position (before/after content)
- Option to show on specific post types only

Use case: Multi-author blogs that want consistent author attribution
without the overhead of a full author plugin.

Similar plugins:
- Simple Author Box (wordpress.org/plugins/simple-author-box/)
- Author Bio Box (wordpress.org/plugins/jeherve-flavor/)

Why a module is better: These plugins are overkill for my needs
and add unnecessary weight. A lightweight Switchboard module would
let me enable just this feature without loading a full plugin.
