Admin area modules
The Admin area group changes what you and your clients see in the WordPress admin: the black bar at the top, the dashboard boxes, the footer text and the width of the left menu. For each module below: go to WP Plus+ > Modules and find the card (type its name in the search box at the top to jump to it). Click Off to switch it on, set the options and click Save.
Tidy up the admin bar
Removes items you never use from the black bar at the top, for everyone, in the admin and on the site. The pages behind them still exist and are still reachable from the menu.
| Option | What it removes | Default |
|---|---|---|
| The WordPress logo menu | Links to wordpress.org, the documentation and the support forums. | Ticked |
| The comments bubble | The comments counter. | Ticked |
| The "New" menu | The shortcut that creates a post, page or user. | Not ticked |
| The updates counter | The number of pending updates (not the updates themselves). | Not ticked |
Clean up the dashboard
Switches off boxes on the dashboard, the first screen after logging in, for every user. Boxes that fetch data (like WordPress news) stop fetching it, so the dashboard opens faster.
| Option | Default |
|---|---|
| WordPress news and events | Ticked |
| Quick draft | Ticked |
| Activity | Not ticked |
| At a glance | Not ticked |
| Site Health status | Not ticked |
Site Health reports real problems, such as a PHP version about to stop getting security fixes. Hide it on a client's site, keep it on yours. If you use System summary on the dashboard, keep At a glance visible: that is where the summary appears.
Hide the admin bar on the site
Stops the black bar from appearing on the public side of the site for the roles you choose. These users are still logged in and can still reach the admin at yoursite.com/wp-admin.
- Roles that stop seeing the bar: tick the roles. By default Subscriber and Customer (the WooCommerce role, if present) are ticked.
- If you leave all roles unticked, nothing changes.
- Administrators always keep the bar, whatever you tick.
Your own text in the admin footer
Replaces Thank you for creating with WordPress at the bottom of every admin page. Type your sentence in the Text box, for example Site maintained by Studio X - support@example.com. Basic HTML is allowed, so a link works. Leave the box empty to keep the WordPress text.
A wider admin menu
Gives the left admin menu more room so long names stop wrapping onto two lines. Set Width in pixels between 160 and 300 (WordPress uses 160; the default here is 200). On screens narrower than 960 pixels the menu still folds to icons as usual.
