## Descripcion

Customize Admin is a powerful WordPress plugin that puts you in control of your 
website’s login page and dashboard layout. With its intuitive features, you can 
effortlessly tailor the look and feel of your WordPress login page and dashboard,
creating a seamless and branded experience for your users.

Key Features:

**Personalized Login Screen:** Easily upload your custom image or logo to the login
screen and define the link associated with the logo. Take your brand identity to
the forefront and leave a lasting impression on your visitors from the very first
interaction.

**Streamlined HTML:** Trim down and fine-tune your website’s HTML source code by
selectively removing meta tags from the head section. Enjoy better control over 
your site’s code and optimize it for improved performance and SEO.

**Dashboard Widget Management:** Take charge of your dashboard widgets! Customize
Admin enables you to disable selected widgets, allowing you to declutter and streamline
your WordPress dashboard effortlessly.

 * You can specify the logo image and clickthrough link on the options page. It 
   is also possible to disable the generator meta tag and specified dashboard widgets.

## Installacion

 1. First you will have to upload the plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/` folder.
 2. Then activate the plugin in the plugin panel.
     If you have manage options rights
    you will see the new Custom Admin Settings menu.
 3. Specify a clickthrough url for the logo if required.
 4. Specify the url for the custom logo. The path can be relative from the root or 
    include the domain name.
 5. If you have not yet uploaded a logo, you can do so via the Upload Image button.
    Make sure you click ‘Insert into Post’. For the best result, use an image of maximum
    67px height by 326px width.
 6. Click Save Changes.

## FAQ

### Why did you make another admin logo plugin?

There are already quite a few plugins that offer similar functionality, but the 
fact that my plugin uses the WordPress Media Library makes it super easy to upload
and edit your own logo.

I also am not aware of any other plugins that allow you to specify a clickthrough
url for the logo.

Finally, this plugin is ready to be localized. All you have to do is to use the 
POT file for translating.

### 󠀁[Your plugin is being breached again](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-plugin-is-being-breached-again/)󠁿

Customize Admin keeps being inserted into my WordPress admin and then rootuser is
inserted into MySQL. Customize Admin was put on my site ONCE by me and I had some
issues so I removed it. During that install, there must have been a virus inserted
elsewhere in WordPress because the plugin is reinstalling itself. The virus brought
our server down the other day because it consumed all of the disk space. When it
took off, there were literally hundreds of IP’s pinging other malicious files placed
on our server.
