Profile Features

A complete record for every family member.

System Features

Plugin-powered, account-based, and expandable.

Roots Archive is built as a WordPress-powered archive system with custom user paths, branded UI modules, support workflows, privacy-first structure, and room for future plugins such as dashboards, storage integrations, invitation tools, and family contribution workflows.

User Registration Dedicated account creation through /user-register/ for family archive users.
User Login Dedicated login through /user-login/ for returning members and archive owners.
Account Settings A future-ready area for profile settings, storage configuration, privacy controls, and archive preferences.
Admin Controls Admin-side tools can manage platform settings, storage options, assigned user storage, and future modules.
Contact UI Large branded contact bubble using the Roots Archive logo and written support wording.
Spam Protection Math security question, nonce validation, honeypot field, and rate limiting for messages.
Theme Identity Forest green, parchment background, gold accent, rounded cards, and elegant typography.
Future Expansion Designed to accept new plugins for family tree management, archive tools, storage, and user dashboards.
Storage Features

Native storage or user-owned Bunny.net storage.

Roots Archive can support simple native storage for normal use, while also allowing larger archives to connect external storage. For users with many family photos and documents, Bunny.net storage can be used as an affordable, scalable media backend.

Native Storage Use the site’s built-in media storage for smaller family archives and simpler setup.
Bunny.net Storage Connect external Bunny.net storage for larger image-heavy archives and better media scalability.
User-Owned API Users can enter their own storage API details when you allow them to manage their own storage.
Assigned Storage Admins can assign storage access or sub-storage settings to users depending on your plugin setup.

Theme Features

Multiple archive themes to choose from.

Families are different, so the archive should not be locked into one mood. Roots Archive can offer multiple visual themes while keeping the same clean structure.

Classic Roots Forest green, parchment, and warm gold for the main Roots Archive identity.
Soft Parchment A lighter warm theme for family pages that feel calm and archival.
Midnight Heritage A dark premium theme for elegant family archives and evening viewing.
Royal Archive A deeper blue and gold theme for formal family documentation.
Sharing and Collaboration

Let relatives help without losing control.

Building a family archive alone is heavy. Roots Archive can reduce the burden by letting relatives contribute through controlled links, protected access, and limited forms designed only for the information you need.

Password-Protected Public Links Create selected public-facing archive pages that require a password before viewing.
Magic Contribution Links Send relatives a special link to fill missing names, dates, notes, stories, or photos without needing full access.
Limited Permissions Control what relatives can view, suggest, upload, or edit so your archive stays organized.
Family Review Flow Review suggested additions before they become part of the permanent archive.
Reduced Burden Distribute the work across family members instead of collecting every detail yourself.
Private by Default Sharing is intentional, protected, and family-centered rather than automatically public.
Feature Summary

A complete family archive system.

Roots Archive combines family trees, profiles, memory storage, protected sharing, magic contribution links, selectable themes, native storage, Bunny.net storage options, user accounts, admin controls, and future plugin expansion into one private family documentation platform.
