Description

Select a default admin color scheme for new and existing users. Optionally disable the color scheme picker to force a color scheme for all users.

By default, WordPress uses the ‘Default’ color scheme unless a user has selected another color scheme on their profile settings page.

Default Admin Color Scheme adds a color scheme picker to the ‘General’ settings page where you can change the default color scheme for all users.

Force an admin color scheme for all users?

An additional option allows you to remove the admin color scheme picker from each user’s ‘Profile’ settings page. Using this option results in all users seeing the same color scheme in the WordPress admin.

Frequently Asked Questions

The admin bar color has not changed when I visit my site

The default behaviour of the Admin Color Scheme functionality in WordPress is to only apply the color scheme to the admin. When viewing the site while logged in, the toolbar is always black. The Default Admin Color Scheme plugin does not change that behaviour.
