CiviCRM Admin Utilities modifies CiviCRM’s behaviour in single site and multisite installs. It does a number of useful things:

  • Supplies a theme for CiviCRM admin screens that is more in keeping with WordPress (see below)
  • Modifies the styling of the CiviCRM menu to fix a number of issues
  • Fixes the appearance of the Shoreditch extension in WordPress admin
  • Fixes the appearance of the WordPress Access Control form where necessary
  • Offers options to prevent various CiviCRM Stylesheets from loading on the front-end
  • Adds a handy CiviCRM Shortcuts menu to the WordPress Admin Bar
  • Allows you to choose which Post Types the CiviCRM shortcode button appears on
  • In WordPress multisite, allows you to hide CiviCRM on sub-sites
  • Allows you to remove “administer CiviCRM” capabilities from sub-site administrators
  • Allows suppression of the “change of email” notification when a CiviCRM Contact’s primary email is changed
  • Gives an overview of the relationships between Users and Contacts via the “Manage Users” screen

CiviCRM Admin Theme

Version 0.5 introduces a new theme for CiviCRM admin screens that is more in keeping with WordPress. It can be enabled on the CiviCRM Admin Utilities settings page. Feedback is welcome – please open an issue on the plugin’s GitHub repository if you find any bugs or have suggestions for improvements.

Requirements

This plugin requires a minimum of WordPress 4.9 and CiviCRM 5.39 but recommends you keep up to date with both.

Notes

If you have installed the Shoreditch extension for CiviCRM, then this plugin does its best to make it compatible with WordPress. Unfortunately, Shoreditch version 0.1-alpha25 now makes it very difficult to override the margin applied to the body tag on the front end of your site, so you will have to do this yourself.

Plugin Development

This plugin is in active development. For feature requests and bug reports (or if you’re a plugin author and want to contribute) please visit the plugin’s GitHub repository.
