Hub UI Settings Page
The Hub UI settings page lets you configure the Purple Hub interface. You'll find it under Settings → Settings → Hub UI. This page is restricted to Super Admins.
All changes save automatically — confirmed by a loading animation and green checkmark in the upper right corner. Every setting has an (i) icon with a tooltip explanation.
New Purple DAM
Toggles the new Purple DAM
Purple DAM Plus
Activates the "Sources" and "Target Articles" features of the Purple DAM
Feature Visibility
Controls what appears in the sidebar navigation.
Sidebar pages can be individually toggled on or off.
Post types (Issues, Dossiers, Pages, Media) each have a dropdown with three options:
Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
In Menu | Appears in the sidebar. |
In Settings | Accessible via the Settings page only. |
Deactivated | Hidden entirely. |
Articles cannot be fully deactivated, but their submenu items (All Articles, Articles Standard, Custom Post Types) can be toggled individually. When only one submenu item is active, it displays directly as "Articles" without expanding.
Menu order follows the current layout as baseline. External linked pages always remain below Settings.
Custom Menu Buttons
Add custom navigation entries to the sidebar with a label and target URL. These appear below the standard menu items but above Settings.
Notes
- The page is available in English and German, following your current language setting.
- These settings were previously spread across the Purple DS Hub settings and have been consolidated here. The old toggles (Issues, Dossiers, Pages, Media, Custom Menu Buttons, Activate new Hub UI, Activate new post overview) have been removed from Purple DS Hub settings.
