Description

Simple plugin which lets you manage Screen Options of all the users on your blog.

First set your own Screen Options and then clone them across all users with our plugin.

A huge time saver. Enjoy!

Note: Multisite is not supported very well, plugin doesn’t distinguish between individual blogs.

Free support available on our forums
