- No account needed
- Duplicate posts and pages Adds “Duplicate” under each post and page in the admin lists. The copy is a draft with the same content, categories, tags, custom fields and featured image.
- Admin bar for editors only Hides the admin bar on the public site for subscribers and customers. Users who can write posts still see it.
- Show the environment in the admin bar Adds a coloured “Staging”, “Development” or “Local” label to the admin bar on sites that aren’t live, so nobody edits the wrong copy of the site.
- A tidier admin bar Removes the WordPress logo menu, the comments bubble and the “+ New” menu from the admin bar. Everything is still in the admin menu.
- Keep subscribers and customers out of the admin area Users who can’t write posts are sent to the home page when they open the admin area. Their profile page and background requests still work.
- Your own welcome box on the dashboard Adds a box at the top of the dashboard with your message: who to call for help, links to your guides, anything your clients need.
- Your site name in the admin footer Replaces “Thank you for creating with WordPress” at the bottom of admin screens with your site’s name, and hides the version number from users who can’t update WordPress.
- Hide the admin colour scheme picker Removes the “Admin Color Scheme” choice from user profiles.
- Hide the Help tab Removes the Help tab at the top right of admin screens, for a tidier admin area.
- Hide admin menus from non-administrators Users who aren’t administrators no longer see the Tools and Comments menus. Change the list to hide what your editors don’t need.
- Last modified column in the posts list Adds a sortable “Last modified” column to posts and pages, so you can see what was updated recently.
- Authors see only their own posts and media In the admin area, users who can’t edit other people’s posts (authors, contributors) only see their own posts and their own uploads in the lists and the media library.
- Server versions in the admin footer The admin footer shows the WordPress, PHP and database versions for administrators. Handy when someone asks “which PHP are we on?”
- 50 posts per page in admin lists The posts, pages and products lists show 50 items per page instead of 20. Each user can still change it under Screen Options.
- Replace “Howdy” in the admin bar The admin bar greets users with just their name instead of “Howdy, name”.
- Colour posts by status in admin lists Draft, pending, private and scheduled posts get a coloured stripe in the posts lists, so you can tell them apart at a glance.
- Word count column in the posts list Shows how many words each post has in the posts list.
- A cleaner dashboard Removes the Welcome panel, WordPress Events and News, and Quick Draft from the dashboard.
- Hide update notices from non-admins Editors and other users stop seeing “WordPress X is available! Please notify the site administrator.”
- Show IDs in the admin lists Adds an ID column to the lists of posts, pages, media and users.
- Stop the admin email check Every six months WordPress asks administrators to confirm the site’s admin email after they log in. This turns that screen off.
