After you've downloaded and extracted the files:
- Upload the complete 'ryans-simplecms' folder to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory OR install via the plugin installer
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- That's it, all non-"WordPress Administrators" will now see an admin panel which contains only the necessities for a basic CMS for a static website
- Login as a "WordPress Editor" or lower to see the new admin panel
Visit the
Simple CMS page for more information.
Note: This plugin intentionally does not affect the admin panel if you are a "WordPress Administrator". This ensures that you as the owner/designer of the site have full control over the admin panel, yet anyone at a lower userlevel (ie: "WordPress Editor") will see a massively simplified panel. You can alter user levels via the "Users" option in the regular WordPress admin panel.
