Nothing is removed. Each user switches mode with the button in the toolbar, in the admin and on the front end. The choice is saved per user. #### What simple mode can hide * Left admin menu and submenus, including menus added by other plugins. Menus of public custom post types show by default; other menus of plugins you install later stay hidden until you allow them. * Toolbar items (WordPress logo, updates, comments, + New, and items added by other plugins). Your account menu and the mode switch always stay. * Boxes on the post and page editing screens; in the block editor the matching sidebar panels (excerpt, discussion, link, featured image, page attributes, taxonomies) are hidden too. The Publish box always stays. * Dashboard widgets and the Welcome panel. * The Screen Options and Help tabs. #### Settings Settings Simple Admin Mode lists everything with on / off switches, shows a live preview of the admin menu and the toolbar that simple mode users will see, and lets you choose the default mode for users who have never switched. Simple mode tidies the interface; it is not access control. A page hidden from the menu can still be opened by URL by users who have the capability. Use roles and capabilities to restrict access. The plugin is translation ready. ## Screenshots [⌊Simple mode: a short admin menu, and the toolbar button to switch to full mode.⌉⌊ Simple mode: a short admin menu, and the toolbar button to switch to full mode.⌉[ Simple mode: a short admin menu, and the toolbar button to switch to full mode.

Upload the `innofly-simple-admin-mode` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the plugin from the Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin. You are now in simple mode. 3. Open **Settings Simple Admin Mode** (or the toolbar button Simple mode settings) to choose what stays visible. ## FAQ ### How do I get the full admin back? Click the “Simple mode” button in the toolbar. It switches you to full mode and back. ### The Settings menu is hidden in simple mode. How do I reach the settings page? Use the toolbar button Simple mode settings, or switch to full mode. ### Does it change other users’ mode? No. Each user has their own mode. The default mode setting only applies to users who have never switched. ### Does it delete anything? No. It only hides items from the interface while a user is in simple mode. Deleting the plugin removes its settings and every user’s saved mode. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Innofly Simple Admin Mode” is open source software.
