AdminForge – Admin Management Toolkit (Free) helps site owners clean up the WordPress admin area without editing theme files or writing custom code.

This version focuses on practical day-to-day admin improvements:

  • Hide the front-end admin bar for selected roles.

All settings are available from a single screen under Settings -> Admin Toolkit.

    • Detects currently registered admin menu slugs.
    • Lets you hide selected menu items for each role.
    • Helpful for reducing clutter for editors, authors, and shop managers.
  • Dashboard widget manager

    • Toggle common core dashboard widgets per role.
    • Keeps the Dashboard focused on only what each role needs.
  • Admin UI customization

    • Replace the default admin footer text.
    • Hide the front-end admin bar for specific roles.
    • Uses safe sanitization for saved values.

    • Dashboard widgets – hide selected core dashboard widgets per role.
    • Admin UI customization – set custom footer text and admin bar visibility.
