Comfortable Admin Page vs Simply Show Hooks

日本語の解説はこちら “Comfortable Admin Page” is a plugin that provides a one-stop solution for those “hard-to-reach” settings in the WordPress admin area. It helps you customize a user-friendly and comfortable admin screen, not only for personal blogs but also for client websites and in-house corporate sites. With this single plugin, you can perform a wide range of customizations, including the following: Role-Based Settings * New Feature: Individually configure admin screen display and functionality for each WordPress user role (e.g., Administrator, Editor, Author). This allows you to provide an optimized admin experience for each user when managing a site with multiple people. Left Menu * Individually hide menu items (supports auto-detection of items added by plugins and themes). * Change menu labels (e.g., change “Media” to “Images”). * Add custom links to any admin page or external site to the left menu. * Change the icons for each menu item. * Adjust the height of separator lines in the menu.

Dashboard * Hide unnecessary dashboard widgets (supports auto-detection of items added by plugins). Post & Page List * Hide the hover menu items that appear on each row (Edit, Quick Edit, etc.). * Add filtering functionality by “Tags” or “Author”. * Add columns for “ID,” “Slug,” “Last Modified Date,” and “Character Count,” and make them sortable. * Adjust the width of each column in pixels. * Set custom text and background colors for each post status (Published, Draft, etc.). Editor Screen * Individually hide “Embed” blocks in the Block Editor. * Freely set the autosave interval for posts in minutes. * Change the tag selection UI from an input format to a checkbox format. * Limit the number of post revisions or disable them completely. * Increase the height of the category and tag selection boxes to reduce scrolling. * Add useful shortcodes (e.g., current year/month/day) and enable them in post titles. * Add custom CSS for the admin screen. Images * Individually stop the generation of specific image sizes (thumbnail, medium, etc.) upon upload. * Add a filtering feature by user in the Media Library. * Add columns like “ID,” “Slug,” and “File Size” to the Media Library and make them sortable. Widgets * Disable the block-based widget editor and revert to the classic widgets. * Disable unnecessary default classic widgets. * Enable shortcodes in the Custom HTML widget. Users * Add “ID” and “Display Name” columns to the user list screen. * Hide high-risk items from bulk actions and hover menus. * Hide the “Change role to…” dropdown menu. Login Screen * Change the WordPress logo on the login screen to a custom image and URL. * Change the background color. * Hide unnecessary links (e.g., “Back to site,” language switcher). * Specify redirect URLs for after login and logout. Admin Screen Settings * Hide the “Help” and “Screen Options” tabs at the top of the admin screen. * Hide the admin footer text (e.g., “Thank you for creating with WordPress.”). * Individually disable update notifications for WordPress core, themes, and plugins. * Individually disable or adjust core WordPress features, such as disabling emoji scripts, hiding version information, etc. Quick Settings * Load preset configurations like “Recommended Settings” to apply them in bulk. * Copy the settings of one user role to another role (or to all roles).

Up until now the way theme and plugin developers find where to hook into with their add_action() and add_filter() functions is either to search through the WordPress code base, or find find a reference to the hook in the codex. What Simply Show Hooks does is give you a simpler way to see these hooks by displaying them in-line on the page that you are on. All that’s left to do then is copy the hook you need, and paste it in to your add_action and add_filter functions like this: add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_enqueue_scripts_action’ ); add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘my_the_title_filter’ ); I made this plugin so I could find WordPress hooks quicker and I use it all the time, so I thought I’d share it and see if it could help others. Enjoy! Please note that in odd cases, due to the nature of actions and filters, the plugin may display a hook in place that disrupts the display of your site – in which case we always display the ‘Hide Hooks’ button so you can switch it back off. This won’t disrupt the look of you site to anyone but you so don’t worry.
