In today’s article, I’m excited to share with you a step-by-step guide on how to create a customized admin dashboard in WordPress. Let’s dive right in!
Accessing the WordPress Dashboard
Once you’re logged into your WordPress dashboard, the first step is to navigate to the Plugins section. Click on the Add New Plugin option to get started.
Installing the Admin Menu Editor Plugin
In the plugin search bar, type in "Admin Menu Editor." Once you locate the plugin in the search results, click on the Install Now button. After the installation is complete, make sure to click on the Activate button to enable the plugin in your WordPress site.
Editing the Admin Dashboard
With the Admin Menu Editor plugin activated, head over to the Settings option in the dashboard and select Menu Editor from the submenu. This is where you can start customizing your admin dashboard to better suit your needs.
Changing the Dashboard Name
For example, if you want to change the dashboard name, simply click on the downward arrow next to the Dashboard label. This allows you to edit the name to something more relevant, such as changing it to Admin. After making your adjustments, don’t forget to click on the Save Changes button. You’ll immediately notice the dashboard name has been updated to Admin.
Customizing Menu Names and Positions
Beyond changing the dashboard name, you can also modify the names of other menus such as Posts, Media, Pages, Comments, and more. Adjust these titles as desired to streamline your navigation.
In addition to renaming the menus, you have the flexibility to set their positions. You can do this by clicking and dragging the menu items to reorder them according to your preference.
