Admin Buddy is a modular admin enhancement suite for WordPress. Each feature is an independent module you can enable or disable from the Setup screen. No feature runs unless you turn it on.
Modules included:
<ul>
<li>White Label – rebrand the admin: custom greeting, agency name, sidebar logo, admin bar cleanup, dashboard widgets, hide update nags, footer text, and more</li>
<li>Colours – apply a colour scheme to the entire WP admin, login page, and admin bar</li>
<li>Login – style the WordPress login page with your brand</li>
<li>Maintenance – Coming Soon and Maintenance mode with bypass URLs and emergency access</li>
<li>SMTP – configure outgoing email with multiple provider presets and email logging</li>
<li>User Roles – capability matrix editor with backup and restore</li>
<li>Media Manager – organise the Media Library into nested, colour-coded folders, injected into the native Media Library and every page-builder media modal; drag files to folders, search and sort, and reorganise with a multi-select toolbar; optional two-step Media Trash (trash, restore, empty). Folders are standard WordPress terms, so they survive deactivation</li>
<li>Quick Settings – one-click toggles for common WordPress housekeeping (disable feeds, emojis, XML-RPC, REST API, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Source Code</h3>
The complete source code is available at: 
https://github.com/360igs/admin-buddy-free
The repository is published on each release and contains the exact files in the WordPress.org-hosted zip.
<h3>External services</h3>
The SMTP module can route outgoing WordPress email through a third-party SMTP server when the site administrator chooses to enable it.
The plugin does not include hardcoded connections to any specific email service. The administrator supplies the SMTP host, port, encryption setting, and credentials in the SMTP module’s settings. No data is sent to any external server until the administrator saves those credentials and an email is dispatched (either by WordPress itself or by the SMTP module’s “Send test email” button).
When email is sent, the recipient address, message body, and any attachments are transmitted to the SMTP server the administrator configured, using the credentials supplied. The plugin neither chooses the destination server nor stores credentials anywhere outside the local site database.
Because the destination is administrator-supplied, no fixed terms-of-service or privacy-policy link applies; the relevant policy is the one published by whichever SMTP provider the administrator chooses.

<h3>Source Code</h3>
This plugin uses compiled and minified JavaScript and CSS files built with webpack and npm.
The full unminified source code is publicly available at: https://github.com/litonarefin/adminify-free
To build from source:
<ol>
<li>Clone the repository</li>
<li>Run <code>npm install</code></li>
<li>Run <code>npm run build</code></li>
</ol>
<h3>External services</h3>
Adminify relies on the following third-party / external services. Each entry describes what the service is, what data is sent, when it happens, and links to the provider’s terms and privacy policy.
Freemius 
Adminify uses the Freemius SDK to handle plugin licensing and updates (and, for the premium version, account management). Validating a license or checking for updates sends your license key, site URL, basic environment details (WordPress and PHP versions) and the plugin version to Freemius. Any anonymous usage data is shared only if you choose to opt in.
<ul>
<li>Triggered: on activation, license actions and update checks.</li>
<li><a href="https://freemius.com/terms/" rel="nofollow ugc">Freemius Terms</a> | <a href="https://freemius.com/privacy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Freemius Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
Optional usage diagnostics (Pixar Labs) 
This is OFF by default. Only if a site administrator explicitly opts in by clicking “Allow” on the “What we collect” admin notice does Adminify send the administrator email address and basic, non-sensitive site information (for example WordPress version, active plugins and site name) to help us understand how the plugin is used and improve it. Nothing is sent unless you opt in.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: administrator email and basic site information — only after you click “Allow”.</li>
<li>Triggered: only on the explicit “Allow” opt-in; never automatically.</li>
<li><a href="https://pixarlabs.com/terms-of-use" rel="nofollow ugc">Pixar Labs Terms</a> | <a href="https://pixarlabs.com/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Pixar Labs Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
Google Fonts (optional local font hosting) 
When you select a Google font and save Adminify settings, the plugin downloads the chosen font files from Google so they can be served locally from your own site (better privacy and performance). This only happens when you save settings with a Google font selected.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: the requested font family and weights via a standard HTTP GET to Google Fonts. No personal data is sent.</li>
<li>Triggered: when you save Adminify settings with a Google font selected.</li>
<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Terms</a> | <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Privacy Policy</a></li>
