<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>

<p>This plugins provides custom admin bar colors to differentiate environments (staging, preprod, production). It’s really <strong>easy to use</strong> and <strong>developer-friendly</strong>.</p>
<p>The plugin provides a settings screen which several options:</p>
<ul>
<li>choose between several color predefined schemes.</li>
<li>use a favicon to better differentiate your environments in your browser’s tabs.</li>
<li>add a custom message in your admin bar, like “Production website”, “staging version” or whatever your want.</li>
<li>choose the user roles that will see the color scheme (other roles will see the default admin bar).</li>
</ul>
<p>It also offers few PHP constants you can use in your <code>wp-config.php</code> file (see Frequently Asked Questions below).</p>
<p>Since WordPress Core will probably deprecate alternate admin color schemes in mid-term, this plugin is meant to be use by those who rely on colors to know is they are in staging, preproduction or production environment.</p>
<p>Last but not least, all provided color schemes are accessibility-ready!</p>


Contextual Adminbar Color

OMG this is what I need.
I actually use the alternate colors, but I don't like to change the good "blacky" interface ;)
So, this is the best option ever.
And since the alt colors will disappear (soon?), it's a good idea to use this to prevent wrong wabsite updates and tons of wasted hours trying to figure "why this is not updating? HO CRAP I AM ON THE PRODUCTION SITE *phone rings* "hey, client… well listen… you won't believe me ha ha ha :|"

This is what I need

Perfect plugin that allows me to easily differentiate my various environments.

THX !

Great !!!

Really enjoy this plugin.
It’s simple and well integrated with WordPress admin UI.

I really like the optional configuration through wp-config.php.
After configuring it once in wp-config.php, I won’t ever need to reconfigure because it doesn’t loose settings on importing settings (eg. staging <-> production).

Great job @audrasjb!

Simple and very usefull!

Such a great helper! It gives me the safety to know exactly which environment I work on without having to worry. 
Sometimes things look just alike in your DEV, STAGE and PROD environment. And with this little plugin, it is immediately obvious which environment you work in.
And it also works on WP 5.6 - just checked...

Makes my life much better knowing exactly where I am

Use custom admin bar colors and favicons to differentiate your environments (staging/prod)
