Admin Tweaks

With Admin Tweaks you’ll be able to simplify and make deep customizations in the administrative interface. It’s a compilation of hooks for enhancing, styling and reducing WordPress backend.

Do you like to adjust and style the backend as much as the frontend? So, we are together!

• CSS for hiding help texts adapted from Admin Expert Mode
• Everything started with Adminimize, by Frank Büeltge, which does an awesome job hiding WordPress elements, but I wanted more, and these are some of the great resources where I found many snippets: Stack Exchange, WPengineer, wpbeginner, CSS-TRICKS, Smashing Magazine, Justin Tadlock…
