Slash Admin

While the "Settings" tab provides lots of options to customize the site's look and behavior, there are still few that have been left uncovered.

Slash Admin helps webmasters with this, by adding another options panel under the "Tools" tab, where they can go and customize their site even further.

The plugin is easy to install, and doesn't require any kind of extra coding to make it work.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

Features:

• Add Google Analytics code
• Hide update notifications (for users)
• Show an old browsers warning
• Customize the site's favicon
• Customize the site's login page logo
• Linkify the login logo (to your own URL)
• Redirect logged in users to the homepage instead of the backend
• Disable the frontend bar for all logged in users (not the admins)
• Hide various options in the admin menu
• Block editors from editing their posts
• Block editors from deleting their posts
