<p>This utility plugin provides the ability to configure the color of the Admin Bar seen in the WordPress Dashboard and allows setting a message that will appear within the Admin Bar. This allows you to more easily identify when you’re working on Local, Staging and Live WordPress installations.</p>
<p><strong>Usage Scenarios:</strong></p>
<p>The Admin Color Bar plugin is useful when working with multiple installs of WordPress, such as when you have a local development environment, a staging site as well as a live site.</p>
<p>By setting the Admin Bar’s background color to Orange on a staging site, and Red for a local site, you can more easily identify which site you’re working on. This reduces the possibility that you’ll make errors by performing actions on the wrong site.</p>
<p>If you are using DesktopServer for your local development and would like to use the Admin Color Bar plugin as a Design Time plugin, you can install this in your /Applications/XAMPP/ds-plugins/ directory on Macintosh or the C:\xampplite\ds-plugins\ directory on Windows and it can then be configured to automatically start for all of your local development web sites. This allows you to use the plugin in your Local environment, where it’s needed and not to deploy it to your Live environment where it may not be needed. For more information on DesktopServer and local development tools, please visit our web site at: https://serverpress.com/get-desktopserver/</p>
<p><strong>How it Works:</strong></p>
<p>The plugin provides configuration options that allow you to select a background color and text color for the Admin Bar. You can also select a message that will be displayed within the Admin Bar to provide additional information to the users of the site.</p>
<p>The configuration settings will be seen by all users on the site. If you are using the plugin in a MultiSite environment, the settings are not shared among all the sites. You will need to configure each site on the network.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>Adminimize makes it easy to remove items from view based on a user’s role.</p>
<h4>What does this plugin do?</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Support Custom Post Type</h4>
<p>The plugin support all functions also for custom post types, automatically in the settings page.</p>
<h4>Support Custom Options on all different post types</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Compatibility with plugins for MetaBoxes in Write-area</h4>
<p>You can add your own options, you must only check for css selectors.</p>
<h4>Help with “Your own options”</h4>
<p>See the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/328449" title="Plugin: Adminimize Help with Your own options (3 posts)" rel="ugc">entry on the WP community forum</a> for help with this great possibility.</p>
