Blue Dog Website Manager WP Registry grade A. No security issues foundWP RegistryNo security issues foundOpen the reportA

A collection of utility modules for managing common WordPress site settings — enable or disable features on a per-site basis.

Description

Blue Dog Website Manager provides a clean admin interface to enable or disable commonly needed WordPress features without manual code editing.

Current modules:

• Replace Dashboard with Beaver Builder Template
• Disable Comments
• Disable Automatic Additional Image Sizes
• Enable SVG Upload Support
• Disable Admin Email Verification Check
• Auto-Set Image Metadata on Upload
• Microthemer: Retain Styles When Deactivated
• Hide Page Builder Button on Non-Builder Pages
• Owner-Only Plugin Visibility (hides a specified plugin's menu, admin bar item, Plugins row, and notices from non-owner admins)

Auto-updates via GitHub

This plugin self-updates from its GitHub repository. No WordPress.org account needed.

To avoid GitHub API rate limits across many sites, add a personal access token to wp-config.php:

define( 'WEBSITE_MANAGER_GH_TOKEN', 'ghp_your_token_here' );

A classic token with no scopes (read-only public repo access) is sufficient for public repositories.

Export / Import Settings

Settings can be exported as a base64 string and imported into another site via the Import panel on either the Modules or Settings tab.

Changelog

1.0.16

• Changed: Microthemer "Retain Styles When Deactivated" module now mirrors Microthemer's own vendor snippet verbatim (variable names, comments) for cleaner future diffs

1.0.15

• Added: Owner-Only Plugin Visibility module — hides a specified plugin's admin menu, admin bar status, Plugins list row, and notices from every admin except the owner
• Added: Modules can now be marked owner-only, so the toggle itself never appears (grid, save, or export) for anyone but the owner

1.0.14

• Added: Hide Page Builder Button on Non-Builder Pages module — removes the BB / Page Builder admin bar button on the frontend for pages where the builder is not enabled

1.0.13

• Added: "Switch to" button on the User Profile edit page

• Fixed: Switch-back now works from the frontend as well as the admin

1.0.12

• Fixed: Microthemer "Retain Styles When Deactivated" module — now correctly uses Microthemer's own AssetLoad class instead of manually enqueuing CSS files

1.0.11
