Self-hosted brand repository. Share colors, typography and downloadable assets in a polished public page — no coding required.

== Description ==

**Brand Center** gives your organization a dedicated page where designers, marketers and partners can find everything they need about your brand: color codes, fonts and downloadable files — all in one place.

Manage everything from a clean admin panel and display it publicly with a simple shortcode. No theme dependency, no page builders required.

= Key features =

* **Color palette** — Showcase brand colors with HEX, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes. One-click copy to clipboard for each value.
* **Typography** — Display font families with weights, usage notes, optional preview image and a download link.
* **Downloadable resources** — Organize logos, icons and other brand assets into categories. Each resource supports multiple download formats (SVG, PNG, PDF…).
* **Multi-brand support** — Manage several brands from a single WordPress install. Each brand gets its own shortcode: `[atbc_brand_center id="..."]`.
* **Visual admin panel** — Add, edit, reorder and delete items without touching any code. Drag-free reordering with up/down controls.
* **Media library integration** — Pick images and files directly from the WordPress Media Library.
* **Custom background colors** — Set a per-resource card background color with the native WordPress color picker.
* **Hero banner & logo** — Upload a full-width header image and logo for each brand.
* **Fully translatable** — Ships with English (base) and Spanish (`es_ES`) included. Compatible with any translation workflow.
* **No theme dependency** — Works with any WordPress theme.
* **PHP 7.4+ compatible** — No modern PHP syntax required.

= How it works =

1. Go to **Brand Center** in the WordPress admin menu.
2. Create a brand and fill in its colors, typography and resources.
3. Add the shortcode `[atbc_brand_center]` (or `[atbc_brand_center id="your-brand-id"]` for a specific brand) to any page or post.
4. Done — your visitors see a polished, self-hosted brand page.

= Shortcode usage =

Display the first (or only) brand:
`[atbc_brand_center]`

Display a specific brand by ID (shown in the brand list):
`[atbc_brand_center id="abc123def456"]`

**Note for existing users:** The legacy `[brand_center]` shortcode continues to work as a silent backward-compatible alias so that pages created before version 2.4.0 are not broken.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `brand-center` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install it directly from the WordPress plugin directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
3. Navigate to **Brand Center** in the admin sidebar.
4. Create your first brand and start adding colors, typography and resources.
5. Add the `[atbc_brand_center]` shortcode to any page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I manage more than one brand? =

Yes. Brand Center supports unlimited brands. Each brand gets a unique ID and its own shortcode (`[atbc_brand_center id="..."]`). The brand ID is displayed in the brand list for easy reference.

= Where do I add the shortcode? =

In the content of any page, post or widget that supports shortcodes. Go to **Brand Center → (your brand)** and copy the shortcode shown in the brand list.

= Does it work with any theme? =

Yes. Brand Center enqueues its own styles and does not depend on any theme.

= Can visitors download files directly? =

Yes. Each resource supports multiple download formats. A dropdown button on each resource card lets visitors pick and download the format they need.

= Is it possible to reorder colors, fonts and resources? =

Yes. Every section has up/down arrow buttons to reorder items. Resources can be reordered per category.

= How do I add a translation for my language? =

The plugin ships with a `.pot` file in the `languages/` folder. Open it with [Poedit](https://poedit.net/), translate the strings, and save the resulting `.po` and `.mo` files as `brand-center-{locale}.po/.mo` (for example `brand-center-fr_FR.po`). Place them in the `languages/` folder.

= What PHP version is required? =

PHP 7.4 or higher. No PHP 8-only syntax is used.

= Is the plugin GDPR-friendly? =

Brand Center does not collect any personal data, does not set cookies, and does not make external requests. All data is stored in your own WordPress database.
