Description
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!

Acknowledgments
- Everything changed after WordPress Stack Exchange
- Plugin interface using @bainternet’s Admin Page Class
- 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…
- The option to hide the help texts from many areas of WordPress uses the CSS file of the plugin Admin Expert Mode, by Scott Reilly.

FAQ
-
Why Many Tips Together? And why change its name to Admin Tweaks?
-
The first version of the plugin was a compilation of snippets.
It evolved to a General Admin Tweak plugin.
Most of the users who left feedback complained about it: too cryptic and hard to find.
Well, I agree, but I’m just changing the Display Name.
The Repository URL, Directory Name and Database Option Name are still keep original name. -
Login CSS
