View on WordPress

Pixel Ghost: Design Matcher adds a Designs library and a dropdown in the native WordPress admin toolbar.

  • Choose an image or PDF and set its alignment and scrolling behavior.
  • Adjust opacity during preview. Center alignment in scrolling mode starts at the top of the page.
  • Place numbered comment markers on individual posts and pages you can edit.
  • View author names, reply to threads, and edit your own messages.
  • Comments are shared per post ID, independent of the selected design. Active previews refresh comments every 15 seconds.
  • Restore the selected design, opacity, and visibility per page using sessionStorage, including after changing users in the same tab.

Preview controls require a visible WordPress admin toolbar and permission to edit posts. Shared comments additionally require permission to edit the current post or page. Archives and the latest-posts homepage have no single post ID and do not support comments.

Design files load from the URL you choose, which may contact an external host. Comments and author IDs are stored in the local WordPress post metadata. Preview preferences are stored in the browser tab; closing the tab normally ends that session. No comment text is stored in sessionStorage.

PDF rendering depends on the browser. Use images for precise visual comparison. Marker positions follow page coordinates and may need reinterpretation after substantial responsive layout or content changes.
