White label WordPress Dashboard

Hi there,

I’m developing a site with Sage 10 that requires a custom user dashboard that uses alot of gravity forms for user entered data and wondered if there are any packages, plugins etc that people reccomend for white labelling the wordpress dashboard for non-admins?

Cheers!

  1. There are many plugins (1, 2, 3, among others) that white-label the WordPress dashboard unless a user has a specific role.

  2. I’m unsure what the ask here, is? I recently built a website using Sage as the starter theme that had a form (outside of the wp-admin) which allowed users with a specific role to create a post in a particular category associated with their role. That post and associated edit/delete controls were then only visible to other users that had that role, or accessible via the API where they were enqueued into another application. It was done that way because my company had some software where vendors would need to post news updates to users but didn’t want to give them access to the wp-admin / other vendors / 1st & other 3rd party posts.

I think there’s no point in giving a user access to the WordPress admin dashboard, unless they have need to have in-depth publishing control, and if they need that, why is there a need to hide that it’s built with WordPress? Everyone knows and loves the WordPress editor.

I don’t particularly understand what this has to do with Sage though, or if that’s irrelevant. You can do this, or hook up a white-label plugin with any theme.

If your application accepts public user data from a form, make sure to sanitize it.
