AssistifyDesk solves a common frustration for WordPress site owners: when something breaks, where do you go for help?
With dozens of plugins installed from different places — WordPress.org, premium marketplaces, and custom developers — it’s easy to lose track of where to report an issue or ask a question. AssistifyDesk puts every support resource in one clean, searchable screen inside your WordPress admin.
<h4>Features</h4>
Central Support Directory 
All your installed plugins and themes are listed in one place, each showing exactly where you can get support — no more hunting through bookmarks or searching the web.
Smart Source Detection 
AssistifyDesk automatically detects whether a plugin or theme is hosted on WordPress.org or is a premium/custom product, then links you to the correct support forum or website.
<ul>
<li>WordPress.org plugins → linked directly to their official support forum</li>
<li>Premium plugins with a Plugin URI → linked to the plugin developer’s website</li>
<li>Plugins with no detectable support URL → a helpful fallback contact link is provided</li>
</ul>
Status Indicators 
See at a glance whether each plugin or theme is active or inactive, and whether an update is available — with colour-coded badges on every card.
System Info Snapshot 
A single copyable block containing your WordPress version, PHP version, MySQL version, server software, memory limit, max upload size, debug mode status, multisite status, active theme, and full active plugin list — ready to paste into any support ticket.
Per-Plugin Support Template 
Click “Copy Info” on any plugin card to copy a pre-filled support request template (plugin name, version, WordPress version, PHP version) directly to your clipboard.
Search & Filter 
Search plugins or themes by name in real time. Filter the plugin list by: All / Active / Inactive / WordPress.org / Premium / Updates Available.
Admin Bar Shortcut 
A AssistifyDesk link is added to the WordPress admin bar so you can jump to your support directory from any page in the admin.
Admin-Only Access 
The hub is only accessible to users with the <code>manage_options</code> capability (site administrators).
No Data Storage 
AssistifyDesk reads information that WordPress core already collects. It stores nothing in the database and makes no additional HTTP requests.
<h4>Privacy</h4>
This plugin does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data or site data. It reads only locally available WordPress API data (plugin headers and update transients already cached by WordPress core).

AssistifyDesk

A central support hub that shows where to get help for every installed plugin and theme on your WordPress site.

WordPress has long provided inline documentation throughout the administrative interface that provide explanations for various features and input fields. This includes an explanations of excerpts, trackbacks, custom fields, page parents, etc. These are great for newcomers to WordPress, but for those with sufficient familiarity these bits of text are no longer necessary and merely provide visual noise. This plugin gets rid of those descriptive texts.
The plugin’s behavior is made available as a per-user profile option. Each user who wishes to enable expert mode for themselves must do so individually by going into their profile, checking the field ‘Expert mode’, and then pressing the ‘Update Profile’ button.
Specifically, this plugin removes:
<ul>

NOTE: This plugin does NOT remove input field labels or section headers, nor anything containing actual data. In a few cases, descriptive text is left intact when it is of enough importance to warrant retention, or the markup structure does not facilitate easy removal.

Excellent code as always from Scott Reilly. This has saved me so much time trying to trim down the Admin Interface. Thank you :)
