 * So I have a ton of code in my functions.php and a very large majority of it is
   for admin logged into wp-admin. Is there a way to make it so parts of my code
   will only run for admins logged into wp-admin?
 * Although a normal user won’t see anything happening in the functions.php file.
   There is no need to a lot of that code to run for them at all.
 * Thanks in advance.

   website do not do any change unless you know what you doing.

 * It would be better to try a plugin. I’ve used one of these before in the past.
