SZM Admin Suite WP Registry grade A. No security issues foundWP RegistryNo security issues foundOpen the reportA

One WordPress plugin, many modules — a Jetpack-style plugin for client sites that cleans up and spruces up the wp-admin. Each module toggles on/off and applies per role.

Modules (v1)

Admin themes bundled: midnight (dark deep-space), cyberpunk (neon magenta/cyan on purple-black), kawaii (pastel pink, rounded corners), goth-baddie (dark plum black, crimson + mauve). Every theme is contrast-checked (WCAG AA: 4.5:1 text, 3:1 icons) and works on any admin color scheme. Switch them in Admin Suite → Admin Theme, or drop your own folder into inc/themes/.

Menu-restriction and visitor stats are explicitly not in v1 (see SPEC.md).

Install

Copy the szm-admin-suite folder into wp-content/plugins/ (repo root is the plugin) and activate. The plugin self-updates from the public GitHub repo Yelbow/szm-admin-suite through the normal Plugins → Updates screen.

Usage

Manage everything under the top-level Admin Suite menu:

• Modules tab — master on/off per module, plus a minimum-role dropdown (the selected role and every role above it; "All roles" applies it to everyone, including administrators).
• One tab per module with its own settings:
  • Admin Theme — pick the active theme.
  • Declutter — tick which default dashboard widgets to hide (untick everything to show all defaults; Site Health is never touched).
  • White-label — set logo, footer text, login background (with working media picker).

Plugin Recommendations

The dashboard's Plugin Recommendations card ships with a curated starter list (Yoast SEO, Duplicator, Sucuri Security, Duplicate Post, Twentig, Otter Blocks, LiteSpeed Cache). Each plugin shows a duotone icon tile, its state, and a one-click Install / Activate via admin-ajax, gated by nonce + manage_options. Installed plugins are skipped; the list is easily extended in szm_as_dashboard_get_recommendations().

Adding an admin theme

1. Create a folder inc/themes/<name>/.
2. Add a theme.json descriptor:

   {
     "slug": "my-theme",
     "name": "My Theme",
     "description": "What it looks like",
     "version": "1.0.0"
   }

3. Add an admin.css (and optionally a login.css) targeting the wp-admin.
4. It shows up in the Admin Theme picker automatically — no code changes.

Adding a module

1. Create inc/modules/<slug>/module.php.
2. Call szm_as_register_module() with the module descriptor (slug, name, description, icon, default_enabled, boot callback, optional settings/render/sanitize for its own tab).
3. The module only runs when enabled and when it applies to the current user.

Requirements

• PHP 7.4+
• WordPress 5.9+
