nexya dashboard Customise the WordPress admin for clients

The WordPress administration as the client sees it: menus reduced to the essentials, the admin bar tidied up — and, with Pro, dashboard colors all the way to the login page

  • What is not used disappears Posts, Comments, Tags, Templates: a hub setting is all it takes so that anything the site doesn't use is no longer displayed. The client no longer wonders what half the menus are for
  • A cleaned-up admin bar No Comments, no Customize, no command palette. On the other hand, a link back to the dashboard, and the WordPress logo removed if desired
  • It hides itself on mobile On the front end, below 782 pixels, the bar is no longer displayed, without having to close it on every visit. The administration keeps it, though
  • In the agency’s colours With Pro: the colors of the dashboard and login page, the logo, the menu icons. The client logs in to their own space, not WordPress's

What it can do

A customised WordPress admin for your clients

A client who logs in should only see what concerns them. Unused menus disappear, the admin bar gets tidied, and with Pro everything takes on the agency’s colours, login page included.

The dashboard

A dashboard reduced to what matters

Posts, comments, tags or patterns: what the site does not use no longer shows. Secondary boxes fold away, the Screen Options and Help tabs disappear, and the client stops wondering what half the menus are for.

  • Admin bar cleaned up, a link back to the dashboard added
  • The bar hidden on phones, on the front end
  • With Pro, colours, menu icons and a contact card

Dashboard colours

The bar and the column lift off the edges, on a soft background: this is WordPress’s furniture, dressed everywhere. The colours are set above, and the mock-up repaints as you type.

The login

Clients log in at their place, not at WordPress

With Pro, the login screen takes the site’s logo, background and colours, and its address can change to one of your own. The admin footer carries the agency’s name.

  • Login screen logo and background image
  • Custom login address
  • Hub colours used everywhere

Pro Tidying the menu, the toolbar and the blocks is free. The branding is what a licence opens.

The menu

What the site does not use no longer shows

A showcase site without a blog needs no Posts, Comments or Tags. A switch in the hub removes them from the menu, the admin bar and the screens, without deleting anything: the day the blog arrives, you switch them back on.

  • Nothing is deleted, everything switches back on
  • Comments closed on the site too
  • With nexya roles, by each person’s role

  • PostsThe site has no blog
  • CommentsHidden everywhere, bar included
  • PagesKept, it is what they edit
  • PatternsRemoved from the Appearance menu

One hub setting is enough: what the site does not use disappears from the menu and the bar.

And everything else, already included

  • Hidden menus Comments, posts or tags removed when the site does without them.
  • Command palette Removed from the bar when it does not help the client.
  • WordPress logo Removed from the admin bar if you wish.
  • Contact card With Pro, your details on the client’s dashboard.
  • Menu icons With Pro, a chosen icon for each entry.
  • With nexya roles The menu also shrinks according to the person’s role.

What a client sees of a fresh WordPress

About twenty menu entries of which they will never use half, dashboard widgets placed by plugins, a login page with the WordPress logo, and editing blocks they will never open. None of this is broken — it’s simply noise, and noise causes hesitation.

What the module removes, and what it adds

It removes unnecessary admin bar entries, the welcome panel, and widgets that query a remote server; each detected widget appears in a list, where you can remove or collapse it with a click. It adds a link back to the dashboard in the bar and, with Pro, the agency’s colors on the dashboard and login screen.

It does not replace permissions

Hiding an entry for everyone and hiding it for a role are two different things. This module decides what the site offers; the Roles module decides what each person can reach. The two complement each other, neither replaces the other.

FAQ

Everything about nexya dashboard

In the nexya hub settings, uncheck what the site does not use — posts, tags, comments, templates: the corresponding menus and admin bar entries disappear. Then turn on nexya dashboard to tidy up the bar and remove the dashboard blocks. The client only sees what concerns them.

With Pro, the login page takes your logo and colours, like the dashboard. The client logs in at home, not at WordPress.

The same job, in the same panel as the rest of the suite: one plugin less to keep up to date, and words the client finds everywhere. The settings are made for a site handed to a client, not to configure every line.

On the site side, below 782 pixels, it is no longer displayed, without having to close it on every visit. In the administration, it stays in place.

Yes: the settings apply to all accounts, including administrators. To hide an entry based on a role level, the nexya roles module handles that; with Pro, you can adjust it role by role.

With Pro, yes: the login screen answers at an address of your choice, and takes your logo and colours too.

With Pro, a contact card in your name appears on the dashboard, and the admin footer carries the agency’s name.

Yes. Nothing is deleted: the module only hides things on display, and the admin returns to its original state as soon as it is off.
