Understanding Feature Limitations on Frame

Updated 2 weeks ago

What Is Frame?

Frame is a next-generation website platform designed to offer Adventist churches, schools, and ministries a modern, flexible, and integrated digital presence. Built on the WordPress content management system, Frame prioritizes:

  • A consistent, user-friendly experience

  • Centralized updates and maintenance

  • Built-in support and security

  • Long-term stability at scale

 

How Frame Differs from “Off-the-Shelf” WordPress

  • Custom themes and plugin installation are disabled

  • Certain advanced developer settings may be unavailable

  • Emphasis on stability, support, and performance rather than unlimited code flexibility

 

Why Certain Features Are Restricted

To keep things secure and maintainable, some advanced or developer-level features are restricted on Frame. These restrictions exist for several key reasons:

Security

Limiting the ability to upload custom code or install third-party plugins helps protect sites from malware, vulnerabilities, or unstable tools.

Scalability

Frame supports over 8,000+ sites. Consistent configurations make it easier to maintain speed, performance, and uptime across the board.

Consistency

Restrictions help ensure that branding, accessibility, and user experience remain cohesive across all church and school sites.

Supportability

By keeping the platform standardized, our support team can provide faster, more reliable help without needing to troubleshoot a wide range of custom setups.

 

What Features Are Available?

Frame includes a handpicked set of plugins and tools that cover the most common needs—like calendars, forms, SEO, cookie compliance, and more.

  • All plugins on Frame are carefully vetted and fully supported. Some include premium licenses that are maintained by the platform.

  • We regularly update plugins for security and performance.
