=== Slash Admin === Contributors: gsarig Tags: Wordpress, admin, administration, dashboard, favicon, login, analytics, internet explorer Requires at least: 3.0 Tested up to: 3.9 Stable tag: 1.8.6 License: GPLv2 or later A bunch of settings that you would probably need in most of your websites. == Description == Slash Admin lets you change various different options in a Wordpress installation and keeps them active even if you switch your theme. = Features = * Upload a favicon * Add your custom logo at the Wordpress log-in screen * Make the login screen logo (custom or default) to link to your website's homepage instead of wordpress.org * After login, redirect users to the homepage instead of their profile page * Disable the Admin Bar for all users except Administrators (applies only to the front-end) * Insert Google Analytics tracking code * Hide unnecessary options from the Admin menu for non admins * Hide notices about updating Wordpress and other plugins for all users except from Admins * Display a warning for users of old versions of Internet Explorer (IE8 or older) == Installation == 1. Upload the Slash Admin plugin to your Wordpress plugins directory and activate it. 2. Go to Tools / Slash Admin and set your preferred options. == Frequently Asked Questions == = My theme also supports some of this plugin's features. Which one should I choose? = It is up to you to decide whether you will use your theme's options or those provided by this plugin. It is recommended, though, that you keep those settings separated from your theme and the reason is simple: If at some point you decide to switch themes, those options will be lost and you have to remember to re-enter them. Keeping them in a plugin maintains the options between themes. = Is is wise to hide update notices from my users? = Generally speaking, no. Wordpress' default behaviour is probably the best, that's why the specific option is disabled by default. In some cases, though, users might get confused with those notifications or think that something is wrong with the website. In cases like that, you might want to keep the update notifications visible only for those who can apply them - namely the administrators. Keep in mind that, technically, selecting this option won't remove the notifications for the non-admins - it will just hide them with CSS. = What does hiding options for non-admins means? = Sometimes you only use certain features of Wordpress. For example, your website might have comments disabled or not using the Links feature. Also, for better usability you might want to show your users only the options that concern them. Hiding those options won't remove them. You, as an administrator, will always see the full list of all the available options. An editor, though, won't see the hidden options, which helps him focus to only those that concern him. = Old browser warning behaves strangely with W3TC plugin = This is a known issue. When Page Caching is activated in the W3 Total Cache plugin, the old browser warning becomes unpredictable and it may appear not only in Internet Explorer 8 but in newer IE versions as well as in Chrome. To deal with the problem you need to disable either the old IE warning or the W3TC Page Cache option. == Screenshots == 1. The plugin's interface 2. The Old Browser warning message == Changelog == = 1.8.5 = * Added option to hide additional fields from non admins = 1.8.1 = * Added Greek translation = 1.8 = * Added Wordpress 3.8 compatibility * New design * Improved the appearence of the image at the login page = 1.7 = * Added option to show a warning for users of old versions of Internet Explorer = 1.6 = * Added option to disable Admin Bar for non admins (only in the front-end) * Added option to hide update notices for non admins = 1.5 = * Option to redirect users to the homepage after login (instead of their profile page) = 1.0.1 = * Some tidying up to the options page * Added documentation = 1.0.0 = * First release! == Upgrade Notice == = 1.8.5 = * Initial submittion to the Wordpress.org repository
