## Description

With Admin Tweaks you’ll be able to simplify and make **deep customizations** in
the administrative interface.
 It’s a compilation of hooks for enhancing, styling
and reducing WordPress backend.

Do you like to adjust and style the backend as much as the frontend?
 So, we are
together!

#### Main Features

 * Admin Bar: remove, add and modify menu items.
 * Admin Menus: remove menu and submenu items; sort Settings menu; rename “Posts”.
 * Appearance: hide general elements; create admin notices.
 * Dashboard: remove and add widgets.
 * General Settings: enable arcane Link Manager; privacy; other misc options.
 * Listings: customize rows and columns for post types, users and plugins.
 * Media: custom columns; re-attachment; sanitize filenames; jpeg quality; audio/
   photo/video metadata.
 * Plugins: many row modifications; live filter by keyword/active/inactive; move
   plugins menus from the main menu into the Tools menu (Code Snippets, The SEO 
   Framework, Hide Admin Notices).
 * User Profile: remove almost everything; add custom CSS.
 * Login: redirects; errors; modify almost everything; add custom CSS.
 * Maintenance Mode: with minimum Role allowed and possibility to block only the
   backend.

### Acknowledgments

 * Everything changed after [WordPress Stack Exchange](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/)
 * Plugin interface using @bainternet’s [Admin Page Class](https://github.com/bainternet/Admin-Page-Class)
 * CSS for hiding help texts adapted from [Admin Expert Mode](https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-expert-mode/)
 * Everything started with [Adminimize](https://wordpress.org/plugins/adminimize/),
   by Frank Büeltge, which does an awesome job hiding WordPress elements, but I 
   wanted more, and these are some of the great resources where I found many snippets:
   [Stack Exchange](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/1567/best-collection-of-code-for-your-functions-php-file),
   [WPengineer](https://wpengineer.com), [wpbeginner](https://www.wpbeginner.com),
   [CSS-TRICKS](https://css-tricks.com), [Smashing Magazine](https://wp.smashingmagazine.com),
   [Justin Tadlock](https://justintadlock.com)…
 * The option to hide the help texts from many areas of WordPress uses the CSS file
   of the plugin [Admin Expert Mode](https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-expert-mode/),
   by Scott Reilly.

## Installation

 1. Upload `many-tips-together.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the _Plugins_ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to _Settings -> Admin Tweaks_ and have fun.

#### Uninstall

The ‘reset’ button doesn’t delete the database entry, but if you delete the plugin,
the entry will be deleted (via unsinstall.php)

## FAQ

### Why Many Tips Together? And why change its name to Admin Tweaks?

The first version of the plugin was a compilation of snippets.
 It evolved to a 
General Admin Tweak plugin. Most of the users who left feedback complained about
it: too cryptic and hard to find. Well, I agree, but I’m just changing the Display
Name. The Repository URL, Directory Name and Database Option Name are still keep
original name.

### Login CSS

Look for inspiration at [CodePen.io](https://codepen.io/search/pens?q=wordpress+login+&order=relevance).

I found three separate bugs in 5 minutes after download. Is anyone maintaining this
plugin in 2020?
