Admin Customiser documentation
Put your own logo and colours on the admin bar, sidebar and login screen, add your footer text, and hide admin bar items clients don’t need.
Overview
Client sites look like every other WordPress install, with the WordPress logo in the corner and the default login page. Agencies want the admin to feel like part of the product they handed over.
Plan: Pro. Requires an active WP Extended Pro licence.

Questions and troubleshooting
Is Admin Customiser free?
No. It is part of WP Extended Pro.
Does it override each user’s admin colour scheme?
No. Custom colours only apply where you set them, and everything else follows each user’s chosen WordPress colour scheme.
It isn’t working as expected
Check the module is switched on and its settings are saved. If another plugin does the same job, deactivate one of them. Then clear any page cache and test again. Still stuck? Pro customers can contact support; free users can post on the WordPress.org forum.
Developers
