DashClean is a modular WordPress admin optimization plugin built for developers, agencies, and site owners who need a cleaner, faster, and more professional wp-admin experience.
Version 2.0.0 introduces a service-layer architecture with administrator protection, schema-aware settings migration, runtime discovery caching, and scalable user targeting — designed for client deployments and large WordPress installations.
<h4>Core Capabilities</h4>
<ul>
<li>Menu Cleaner — Hide admin menu and submenu items by role or user.</li>
<li>Dashboard Widget Manager — Remove all or specific dashboard widgets.</li>
<li>Admin Bar Cleaner — Hide toolbar nodes for targeted users.</li>
<li>Notice Cleaner — Suppress admin notices while optionally keeping critical errors.</li>
<li>Performance Optimization Tools — Disable emojis, jQuery Migrate, header junk, and selectively dequeue frontend assets.</li>
<li>Role-Based Visibility Controls — Apply cleaning rules to selected roles.</li>
<li>User-Specific Targeting — Fine-tune restrictions to individual user accounts.</li>
<li>Preset Management System — Apply Client or Developer templates; save custom snapshots.</li>
<li>Import / Export Settings — Move configurations between sites with JSON backups.</li>
<li>Schema-Aware Settings Migration — Automatic compatibility for legacy export files.</li>
<li>Runtime Discovery Cache System — Reliable widget, admin bar, and asset inventories.</li>
<li>Safe Administrator Protection Layer — Users with <code>manage_options</code> are never restricted.</li>
<li>AJAX User Search & Scalability — Paginated user search for large sites (no bulk loading).</li>
<li>Multisite-Aware Cleanup Support — Uninstall removes data across network sites.</li>
<li>Translation Ready — Full text domain support with POT catalog included.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why DashClean</h4>
Unlike heavy white-label plugins, DashClean uses a performance-first modular design. Optional modules load only when enabled. Settings are stored in a single option with schema versioning for safe upgrades.
Administrators always retain full access. Presets merge into existing configuration rather than wiping unrelated module settings.
