10 Plugins to Help Customize Backend Administration System for the Wordpress Website

If you are on Wordpress, you can easily customize. Be it your website, login page or the plugin you wish to use for the website, customizing is relatively easy and can be done flawlessly using simple tricks. Not just a plugin, but your backend system as well as the frontend system can be customized to suit the requirements of a particular website.
Wordpress has a plugin for every situation! Despite that you will feel the need to customize certain elements within the plugin. This is true for backend systems. Though Wordpress has a well protected and pretty secure backend system, there are some things that you might want to change. Here are some plugins that will assist you in customizing the backend administration system of your Wordpress website.

Client Dash

Your client might need certain icons and tools particularly on the dashboard. A regular website dashboard comes with common elements that may or may not prove useful to your client. This is where the Client Dash plugin comes to your rescue. With this plugin, you can easily alter the dashboard widget by adding menus that your client is particular about. You can easily reorder or rearrange the menu items as well as add or customize the menu items.

Remove Dashboard Access

If you wish to limit the dashboard access, you should necessarily use this plugin. You can easily block some users from accessing the dashboard while providing certain others with full control to the dashboard. You can select the redirect URL for those with complete access and those with no access.

Adminimize

Let’s say you have rolled out a multi author Wordpress website with permissible access. Your backend is not secure in this case. You may not want to reveal all portions of your backend to the users or clients. What will you do in this case? Install adminimize and minimize access to backend by customizing it. All you need to do is alter the portions that will be visible to your client giving limited access to them. Your clients or other users don’t need the editing page for instance; you can easily customize it and prevent others from viewing it.

Dashboard Widget Sidebar

Adding your normal widgets to the dashboard admin area is easier than ever! All you need to do is install this dashboard widget sidebar plugin, and go to administration>widgets to add the regular widgets.

Wider Admin Menu

Adding widgets can cause your Wordpress menu to look awful. With a new widget added to the menu bar, especially the one with longer names, you have caused a change in the way the menu bar appears. A long name, in order to fit the menu bar, tends to break down into two parts which obviously does not look appealing. In order to prevent this from happening, install the wider admin menu plugin, which automatically widens the size of the menu bar to accommodate the new plugin.

Admin Bar Button

Want to customize the admin bar button for your client’s website to make it simple and comprehensive? With the admin bar button, you won’t see the whole menu on the top of the website; instead you would see a small button that’s expandable once you place your mouse over it. You can easily customize the button behaviour. Go to Settings>Admin Bar Button and start customizing,

Want to instruct your client, who is not sound with Wordpress, into using it? Install the WP help plugin to help your client with understanding and using the backend.
