About this plugin
A set of small admin tools for handing a WordPress site to a client and keeping it tidy afterwards. Add your branding to the login screen, schedule maintenance mode, show which environment you are in, post notices to specific roles and hide dashboard widgets clients don’t need. Turn on only the tools you use.
Each tool (module) can be independently enabled or disabled. Only enabled modules load their hooks and assets, keeping your admin fast.
Handover presets
Save up to ten named configurations for module switches, role visibility, dashboard widgets and branding. Apply a preset or undo the last application. Current notices, maintenance schedules and personal preferences are left unchanged.
Modules Included
Copy Buttons Everywhere
Adds copy buttons for IDs, permalinks, edit links, and slugs across:
- Post/Page/CPT list tables (row actions)
- Single post edit screens (meta box)
- Users list table
- Taxonomy term list tables
White Label, Maintenance and Handoff
Includes login and footer branding, scheduled maintenance mode and a client handover report. There is no separate paid version.
Environment Badge
Shows a colour-coded environment indicator (LOCAL / DEV / STAGING / LIVE) in the admin bar. Uses wp_get_environment_type() with a DAWSONY_ENV constant fallback. Configurable per role.
Debug Snapshot
A read-only support snapshot page showing WordPress version, PHP version, server info, memory limits, active theme, active plugins, and more. Includes a one-click “Copy as Text” button for easy sharing with support teams.
Global Admin Notice Board
Set a message that appears in wp-admin for selected roles. Supports basic HTML, notice type (info/success/warning/error), optional expiry date, and per-user dismissal with admin reset.
Dashboard Widget Manager
Hide or show dashboard widgets per user role. Automatically discovers all registered widgets (core + plugin) and lets you control visibility from a simple settings UI.
Philosophy
- Admin tools run in wp-admin; optional maintenance mode and login branding affect the public site when enabled.
- No external tracking, telemetry, or “phone home” behaviour
- Validated settings imports with a 1 MB size limit
- Nonces for all actions, capability checks for all settings
- Clean uninstall removes all data
Privacy
