DawsonyWeb – Admin Utilities

New in 1.4.0

• Named handover presets store module switches, role visibility, dashboard widgets and branding. Save up to 10 configurations and undo the last preset application.
• Presets leave current notices, maintenance schedules and personal preferences unchanged. DawsonyWeb – Admin Utilities is a developer-friendly WordPress plugin that packages the small admin improvements you actually need into one clean, modular plugin. No bloat, no nag banners, no upsells.

Each tool (module) can be independently enabled or disabled. Only enabled modules load their hooks and assets, keeping your admin fast. 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 The Free plugin also includes login/footer branding, scheduled maintenance mode and a client handoff report. These existing features remain Free. Environment Badge Shows a color-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" behavior
• Validated settings imports with a 1 MB size limit
• Nonces for all actions, capability checks for all settings
• Clean uninstall removes all data
