For a overview of the changes in 2.0 version of the plugin please visit the Video User Manuals website. #### Features * Customize the login page * Add your branding to the header and footer * Customize the dashboard * Control which menus appear for your client * Setting up a customized dashboard can be done in seconds using the White Label CMS Wizard #### Customize The Login Page Impress your clients with a branded login page. Add yours or your client’s logo, add a background image and even control the CSS if you wish. Personalising the back end of WordPress will give your client the feeling that this is their website, not a generic website. #### Add Your Branding to the Header and Footer Stay top of mind with your client by adding your branding to the admin bar, menu or footer. #### Customize the Dashboard Are you tired of telling your clients to ignore everything on the Dashboard, but then still receive questions because they’re confused or have broken something? With White Label CMS you can clear everything from the dashboard and add in your own dashboard panel. You can even add your own RSS feed so your clients can be kept up to date with what you are doing in your business. Which is much more relevant to your client than where and when the next WordPress Meetup is. Add your own welcome dashboard, and now you can use an Elementor or Beaver Builder template to make it look beautiful. #### Control with Menus Appear for Your Client We have created a new feature called the White Label CMS admin which allows you to hide menus for other users. Setup is simple and gives clients admin access with some restrictions making it harder for them to stumble across settings and mess up the site. #### Setup a Site in Seconds Using the Wizard Setting up a customized dashboard is easy and quick using the White Label CMS Wizard. With just a few clicks, you can add your branding and your client’s details and be up and running in seconds. There is so much that you can do with White Label CMS, but we want the experience to be simple. The Wizard allows you to set up a clutter-free, customized dashboard without having to scroll through all of the options that are available to you. ## Screenshots * [[ * An example of how your clients dashboard could look * [[ * White Label CMS Setting: Branding * [[ * White Label CMS Setting: Login * [[ * White Label CMS Setting: Dashboard * [[ * White Label CMS Setting: Menus * [[ * White Label CMS Setting: Settings * [[ * An example of a custom login ## Installation 1.

For developers who handover websites to their clients and use WordPress as a CMS. ### How do I add links to my own panel? Your custom panel accepts html, so just write the markup as you normally would in html. ### How do you recommend using this plugin? We have been using this for a number of months now, and we have found clients respond best when it is set up in the following fashion: * Use the clients logo for the login (it gives the CMS a bit of a wow factor!) * Use the clients logo in the header * Use your own logo in the footer, and place a link back to your website * Remove all panels from the dashboard (they have a lot of information that just confuses the client) * Add your own panel. Personalise the experience for your client by welcoming them to their website. Provide links to the most relevant elements in the CMS. Provide a link back to your support system if you have one. ### Feature Requests Got a feature request for WLCMS, let us know [here](https://www.videousermanuals.com/about/). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c7a9c5743b32793a5534789f93b125cdf7573f4109dbea017f219e231a287388? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[instantly more professional!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/instantly-more-professional/)󠁿 [James Monroe](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jhmonroe/) March 3, 2026 this covers all the essentials to presenting a very custom look to clients. other white label plugins i tried were too complicated, took too long to setup, or broke the css in my admin.

Love it!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pretty-much-a-full-featured-white-label-plugin-love-it/)󠁿 [Joe Bloggs](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joe-bloggs/) April 4, 2024 I’ve spent the past few hours installing/uninstalling & testing probably all white label and custom admin plugins currently available in the repository. I needed a few simple features, hide some admin menu items, hide some admin toolbar items, customise login page, remove default widgets and add a couple of custom widgets. Unlike all other plugins in the repository, this plugin does it all, out of the box and without asking for a Pro version. UI looks great, nice & easy to look at, and simple to work with. Excellent work guys and many thanks for making this available for free. 🙏 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ca2688be88d77e62adb97e7b44abe56b37d665a48a5f4159628ba231866cecd9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thanks for the recent update adding ‘Page’.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thanks-for-the-recent-update-adding-page/)󠁿 [](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kit-coda/) February 5, 2024 Having the ability to now add a Page as an option to the Welcome Dashboard Panel sets this plugin on top of the heap! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e3008f3bd6279d3781fbf8a4aee7b5018e7712edeccb122c56ce4dbc7abd8946? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-9128/)󠁿 [Christinanine](https://profiles.wordpress.org/christinanine/) February 4, 2024 Thank you for making and maintaining this free plugin-in!
