Why you need Admin Customiser

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.

What Admin Customiser does

  • Login page

    Logo, background, form colours, border radius, button colours and a custom login message.

  • Admin bar and sidebar

    Your logo in the admin bar, colours for every state, sidebar width and the option to hide menu icons.

  • Footer and clutter

    Custom admin footer text and a list of admin bar items to hide.

What you can configure

28 settings, all included with Pro.

Where Admin Customiser helps

  • An agency team in a brick-walled studio reviewing WP Extended settings on a wall screen

    Agency white labelling

    Hand over a branded admin with your agency’s or the client’s logo.

  • A florist checking her shop website’s WP Extended settings on a laptop at the counter

    Membership logins

    Match the login page to the site so members don’t see a generic WordPress screen.

Admin Customiser vs White Label CMS

White Label CMS has 200k+ active installs on WordPress.org. If you only need this one job, that’s a fine choice. If the site also needs other modules on this list, it’s one less plugin to update.

The difference
Admin Customiser does the same core job inside WP Extended, so it shares one settings screen, one update and one support team with every other module you use.

For developers

Admin Customiser has 4 hooks for changing its behaviour per project, without editing the plugin.

All Admin Customiser hooks
filter functions.php or a Code Snippet
add_filter( 'wpextended/admin-customiser/admin_bar_variables', function ( $value ) {
    // Return the value you want to use
    return $value;
} );
  • admin-customiser/admin_bar_variables
  • admin-customiser/css_variables
  • admin-customiser/login_variables
  • admin-customiser/sidebar_variables
