Description

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.

Adminimize makes it easy to remove items from view based on a user’s role.

What does this plugin do?

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 sub-menu. 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 role and their resulting users can have his own settings.

Support Custom Post Type

The plugin support all functions also for custom post types, automatically in the settings page.

Support Custom Options on all different post types

It is possible to add own options to hide areas in the back-end of WordPress. It is easy and you must only forgive a ID or class, a selector, of the markup, that you will hide.

Compatibility with plugins for MetaBoxes in Write-area

You can add your own options, you must only check for css selectors.

License

Good news, this plugin is free for everyone! Since it’s released under the GPL, you can use it free of charge on your personal or commercial blog. But if you enjoy this plugin, you can thank me and leave a small donation for the time I’ve spent writing and supporting this plugin. And I really don’t want to know how many hours of my life this plugin has already eaten ?

Translations

The plugin comes with various translations, please refer to the WordPress Codex for more information about activating the translation. If you want to help to translate the plugin to your language, please have a look at the sitemap.pot file which contains all definitions and may be used with a gettext editor like Poedit (Windows) or use, I prefers this, the translation service from wordpress.org.

For years I have been using this to help clean up a cluttered interface for clients. THANK YOU for having this available for us. Deleting unnecessary meta boxes & menu links fills me with happiness. :D
Great plugin

Essential for multisite management. A lot of possibilities.
The most valuable plugin for the Wordpress backend
by
As good as the wordplay on its name ! And the last but not the least, customizing with CSS ID works like a charm. Vielen Dank Frank! Mit freundlichen Grüßen Stef from Oleron Island - France
INDISPENSABLE: Why is this functionallity not in the Core of WP?
by
WordPress has come a long way. The backend is great. BUT: if you have installed a couple of plugins that add their own (sub-)menues to the backend, how are you going to present the backend to unexperienced users that should only do some editing or add some media files? Adminimize to the rescue! With this uber-useful plugin you can re-design the menues to only show what the users of different groups really need. And what makes it really useful is: you can save and restore your settings, and thus also transfer them to a different website. No need to go through the very long list of options agin, from scratch. Thank you very much to Frank Bültge for writing and maintaining this most indispensable plugin! Especially for updating Adminimize lately after approx. 2 years so it doesn't get lost among all those other plugins that nobody maintains any more. Reading here to see if this plugin is for you? You may stop here: download and install. You won't regret it!
Un clásico que ayuda mucho

Es muy confiable y fácil de usar
Great plugin!

This is a great plugin for creating sites for clients. It can prevent clients from seeing options that we don't want them to see. Great plugin, thanks to the author.

There's plugins which do same functions but you have to pay.
LOVE this plugin
by
As the website administrator for a large site with multiple admins and editors, this plugin is indispensable for keeping the curious and rogue from effing up your highly customized plug-ins and settings. My dashboard and menus look like control central, while users dashboards look like the default install or less... keeping it clean and simple for editors. To the author of this plug-in: Well done!
Slowed my website

This is a great plugin except it slowed my website. Uninstalled it.
The best hidden gem
by
This is one of the best plugin I ever used. It is very simple and easy to understand. I tested in WP 5.0 and worked like a charm. I would like to have an earlier update since the latest one is from more than a year. I hope developer can update it in order to run smooth with the latest WP version
