Finally a clean, modern way to tidy up the WP Admin

    I’ve been using EditX for the past few weeks and I’m really loving how it handles things. Honestly, the UI feels much more modern than most other admin editors I’ve tried. It’s fast, doesn’t feel bloated, and does exactly what it says.

    What I like:

    • The Addons system: I love that I can just toggle the Menu Editor or the Column Editor on/off independently. It keeps things very clean.
    • Column Control: Being able to hide unnecessary columns in the Posts and Media lists is a lifesaver for cleaning up the workspace.
    • Ease of use: Dragging and rearranging submenus is super smooth and intuitive.
    • Regular Updates: From the very beginning, they have accepted feedbacks very positively and released feature updates and bug fixes regularly – a clear indication of another well-maintained plugin.

    A few things I’d love to see added:

    • Export/Import: It would be great to be able to save my layout and “one-click” import it onto other sites I’m working on.
    • Role-based columns: It would be even better if I could hide specific columns based on the user role (like hiding certain data from Editors but keeping it for Admins).

    Overall, it’s a solid 5-star plugin for anyone who hates a cluttered WordPress backend. Great job by the SoftTent team!

    Hi Salah Uddin,

    Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review—we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with EditX 🙌

    It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying the clean UI, performance, and especially the flexibility of the Addons system. We designed it exactly with that “keep it lightweight and only enable what you need” mindset, so your feedback really means a lot to us.

    We’re also glad the column control and menu drag-and-drop features are helping streamline your workflow—that’s exactly the kind of usability improvement we aim for.

    And thank you for the suggestions! Both of these are actually very valuable:

    • Export/Import functionality is something we’ve been considering, and your feedback gives it even more priority.
    • Role-based column visibility is a fantastic idea and aligns well with how teams manage different user permissions.

    We’ve noted both and will definitely explore them in upcoming updates.

    Thanks again for your support and kind words—it truly motivates our team to keep improving 🚀

    — Team SoftTent
