9 Adminimize that lets you hide 'unnecessary' items from the WordPress backend
10
11 == Description ==
12 If you manage a multi-author WordPress blog or WordPress sites for clients, then you may have wondered if it was possible to clean up the WordPress admin area for your users? There are lots of things in the WordPress admin area that your users don’t need to see or use. This plugin help you to hide unnecessary items from WordPress admin area.
13
14 Adminimize makes it easy to remove items from view based on a user’s role.
15
16 = Search for helping hands =
17 Over the time the plugin was extended the plugin with much requirements and his solutions. But the source is not easy to maintain for me, I’m unhappy with the source. I have learned about coding, architecture etc.
18
19 Currently I search for developer there will help on dev and support the plugin. The plugin have a [github repository](https://github.com/bueltge/Adminimize) to easy add a issue or a create a fork, pull request. Also to add issues to understand problems.
20
21 Especially the functionality for WP Multisite is currently more a hack as a solution. But is very complex, not easy to create a solution for this.
22
23 For development see this repository: https://github.com/bueltge/Adminimize
24 The master branch is the current version and the new will leave in the v2.0 branch.
25
26 = Support Custom Options on all different post types =
27 With version 1.6.1 it is possible to add own options for hide areas in the backend of WordPress. It is easy and you must only forgive ID or class of the tag. Also it is possible to use a fixed menu and header.
28
29 = Support Custom Post Type =
30 Also it is possible with version 1.7.18 to use on custom post types; hide 'unnecessary' areas on the custom post types for different roles and post types.
31
32 = Compatibility with the plugins for MetaBoxes in Write-area =
33 1. You can add your own options, you must only see for css selectors
34
35 = Requirements =
36 1. WordPress version 2.8 and later
37
38 = What does this plugin do? =
39 The plugin changes the administration backend and gives you the power to assign rights on certain parts. Admins can activate/deactivate every part of the menu and even parts of the submenu. Meta fields can be administered separately for posts and pages. Certain parts of the write menu can be deactivated separately for admins or non-admins. The header of the backend is minimized and optimized to give you more space and the structure of the menu gets changed to make it more logical - this can all be done per user so each user can have his own settings.
40
41 = Details =
42 1. the admin theme can be set per user. To change this go to user settings
43 1. currently you can use the theme together with the color settings for the Fresh and Classic themes
44 1. more colors can be easily added
45 1. new menu structure: on the left hand site you find classic menu points for managing and writing, while the right part is reserved for settings, design, plugins and user settings
46 1. the dashboard has been moved into the menu itself but this can be deactivated if its not desired
47 1. the menu is now smaller and takes up less space
48 1. the WRITE menu has been changed as follows:
49 1. it is no longer limited to a fixed width but flows to fill your whole browser window now
50 1. you can scroll all input fields now, no need to make certain parts of the WRITE screen bigger
51 1. categories moved to the sidebar
52 1. tags moved to the sidebar if you are not using the plugin "Simple Tags"
53 1. the editing part gets auto-scrolled which makes sense when using a small resolution
54 1. the media uploader now uses the whole screen width
55 1. supports the plugin "Admin Drop Down Menu" - when the plugin is active the user has two more backend-themes to chose from
56 1. supports the plugin "Lighter Menus" - when that plugin is active the user has another two backend-themes to chose from
57 1. two new color schemes are now available
58 1. the width of the sidebar is changeable to standard, 300px, 400px or 30%
59 1. each meta field can now be deactivated (per user setting) so it doesn't clutter up your write screen
60 1. you can even deactivate other parts like h2, messages or the info in the sidebar
61 1. the part of the user info you have on the upper - right part of your menu can be deactivated or just the log-out link
62 1. the dashboard can be completely removed from the backend
63 1. all menu and sub menu points can be completely deactivated for admins and non-admins
64 1. most of these changes are only loaded when needed - i.e. only in the write screen
65 1. set a backend-theme for difficult user
66 1. you can set an role to view the areas on link page, edit post, edit page and global
67 1. you can add own options for set rights to role
68 1. it is possible to disable HTML-Editor on edit-area, only Visual-tab
69 1. remove widgets in widgets settings for different role
70 1. remove admin bar for different role
71 1. remove admin bar items for different role
72 1. remove items on custom post types for different role
73 1. ... many many more
74
75 == Installation ==
76 1. Unpack the download-package
77 2. Upload folder include all files to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. The final directory tree should look like `/wp-content/plugins/adminimize/adminimize.php`, `/wp-content/plugins/adminimize/adminimize_page.php`, `/wp-content/plugins/adminimize/css/` and `/wp-content/plugins/adminimize/languages`
78 3. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress
79 4. Selecting Colour Scheme and Theme, selection in Your Profile, go to your User Profile (under `Users` > `Your Profile` or by clicking on your name at the top right corner of the administration panel).
80 5. Administrator can go to `Options` > `Adminimize` menu and configure the plugin (Menu, Submenu, Metaboxes, ...)
81
82 * or use the automatic install via backend of WordPress
83
84 = Advice =
85 Please use the `Deinstall-Function` in the option-area before update to version 1.4! Version 1.4 and higher have only one database entry and the `Deinstall-Option` deinstall the old entry's.
