What’s the C9 Admin Dashboard Plugin?
The C9 Admin Dashboard plugin is a combination of enhancements, and settings that help reorganize the default WordPress Admin experience for all users that login.
Hiding unnecessary sections of the admin, excessive error messages, update notices, and worthless dashboard widgets are the cornerstone of the C9 Admin Dashboard plugin so you can get down to the business of building landing pages and content on your WordPress website.
New WordPress admin Dashboard Widget
The default WordPress dashboard tends to be unhelpful, slightly confusing for new users, and quite a few key parts of the admin are hidden behind several other admin menus. Our new dashboard widget is enabled by default upon plugin activation, and includes links to widget areas, navigation links, and helpful buttons for adding a new post or page quickly from the admin dashboard.
Modern Web FIles Support
WordPress also lacks support for modern web files such as SVGs and WEBM videos, so we added support for those and several other file formats upon activation, and created a simple admin settings page for additional user interface customizations to the admin.
Admin Minimalist Skin
There’s also a default admin skin added to give the backend a slightly more minimalist aesthetic. Every setting can be enabled or disabled from the Settings > C9 Admin section of the admin that shows up after plugin activation.
Image size limit settings
For our clients who create a lot of content with image galleries, we introduced settings to introduce warnings when high resolution images are uploaded instead of web resolution images to keep your media library from becoming too bloated.
Label Admin Menus
We also found it would be easier to label some of the default pages of the admin, so we gave C9 Admin users a place to customize those labels from the settings page. This turns Posts into News Posts or Blog Posts, and the Pages into Landing Pages.
