Getting started

Dashboard

Mosaic is accessible directly from the WordPress admin menu. Its dashboard is integrated into the WordPress admin area and provides a clean, structured interface for navigating Mosaic’s features. From here, you can access all core functionalities and manage your setup through a centralized control panel.

Menu panel

The same menu points are also accessible from the Mosaic Menu panel, available within the Editor. This makes it easy to move between different sections while editing your website.

The Navigate to tool allows you to quickly search and access various elements within your WordPress site and Mosaic. You can find items such as WordPress pages and posts or Mosaic templates and components, ensuring a more efficient and streamlined workflow.

The Exit to WordPress button takes you back to the Dashboard at any time.

The primary sections accessible from the Dashboard and the Menu panel include:

Templates

Create WordPress templates effortlessly to personalize key pages like the home page, blog templates, and the 404 page. For further details, take a look at our Templates documentation.

Masters

This feature functions as a reusable parent template, providing a consistent structure for multiple pages within your website. It typically includes elements like headers, footers, and navigation menus that are common across the site. For further details, take a look at our Masters documentation.

Components

Components are pre-made elements ready for reuse throughout your website. These versatile components allow you to replicate specific designs across multiple pages effortlessly. Simply create a Page, Block, or Part once and use it as needed. For further details, take a look at our Components documentation.

Style guides

The Style guide serves as your platform for managing the predefined styles of your website elements. It allows you to modify the colors, element styles, classes, and page/post editor content styles, ensuring consistency and providing easy maintenance of the design system across the entire website. For further details, take a look at our Style guides documentation.

System requirements

Platform

WordPress 5.0 or greater (WordPress 6.x is supported.)

Server configuration

• PHP VERSION: The minimum required version is PHP 7.x or greater (PHP 8 is supported.). Mosaic won’t run on older PHP versions.

• Upload limitation: Minimum 8MB to be able to install Mosaic by uploading the zip file. If the limitation is smaller, or you’re not sure about the value, ask your host!
• Component: GD – Graphics directory. Usually it is enabled on every web-server, but if not, feel free to ask your hosting provider. They will enable it for you. Make sure they also enable the WebP support!
• Component: CURL. It needed for the activation, import and update.
• Memory limit: 64M. If your php info says that you have a lower memory limit, contact your server host and ask them to change it to 64M or 128M. If you have several plugins on your site you might need 128M or even 256M memory.
• Server security: Our back-end uses base64 encoding in the back-end to be able to post any kind of variables. If your server has a base64 security filtering, ask them to turn it off.
• SimpleXML extension
• max_input_vars 1000 value
• DOM extension

SQL type

The required MYSQL version is 4.0 or greater.

Supported browsers

Backend

We support the latest versions of computer browsers for Mosaic: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera.

Frontend

Mosaic supports the latest versions of browsers, which have major releases made in the past 2 years: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Android and iOS browsers. Older browsers are outdated and usually don’t support modern coding standards, so Mosaic is unable to support them.

Limitations

• Microsoft Edge: Due to the issues in Edge, Microsoft released a whole new Edge version in January, 2020. Mosaic only supports this Edge version, which uses Chromium engine.
• Internet Explorer: Mosaic doesn’t support Internet Explorer browser at all.
• Windows Safari: The Windows version of Safari wasn’t developed since 2012, and it has many known problems, so we don’t support it either.
• Older Samsung phones and tablets: We don’t support older Samsung Android devices, which are using TouchWiz.
