Best Admin WordPress Plugins

21 plugins · 4.2M combined installs · 4.6/5 avg rating

WordPress admin plugins customise, extend, and simplify the WordPress dashboard and backend interface for administrators, editors, and clients. They can add custom admin menus, hide irrelevant menu items from non-technical users, create custom dashboard widgets with site-specific metrics, replace the default login screen branding, and add bulk management tools for posts, users, and plugins. Agencies use admin plugins to white-label client sites and reduce support requests by surfacing only the controls each user role actually needs. Developers rely on admin enhancement plugins to build more maintainable, user-friendly backend experiences without building a custom admin theme from scratch.
