We are beyond excited to introduce WP Adminify V4.0, our most significant update yet!
Packed with powerful new features and enhancements, this release is designed to revolutionize the way you manage your WordPress site.
We value our customers and whatever we do, we do to serve them and to the best of our abilities. This update is a reflection of this guiding principle. A majority of the updates you’ll see below were effectively influenced by user feedback. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:
Free & Pro Dependency Simplified
We’ve separated the Free and Pro versions of WP Adminify to optimize performance and streamline your experience. The free version no longer contains any Pro version code, ensuring it remains light and fast.
Query Monitor Enhancements
Significant improvements in script loading and overall performance have been made. Check out the details:
- Page Generation Time: Reduced from 0.67s to 0.35s
- Memory Usage: Decreased from 9.2MB to 6.2MB
- Database Queries: Dropped from 99 to 46 in the Dashboard
- Script Loading: Minimized from 10 to just 4 scripts
- Style Loading: Cut down from 13 stylesheets to only 5
NOTE: This is a continuous process. We are constantly working and tweaking things to get better numbers across all the performance metrics, every single day. So, these stats can potentially improve much more by the time the full release rolls around.
Smart Dark Mode
First off, we’ve removed CSS code dependencies for over 80 plugins, making our plugin lighter and faster. Now, no more manual CSS coding is required for dark mode. However, what’s more substantial about this change is that now no matter what plugins you use our smart dark mode can automatically detect it’s theme and adjust the icon styles, button styles accordingly. This makes sure that when you chose to toggle the dark mode you can truly experience an optimized dark mode that looks better
Default UI and Adminify UI Improvements
Resolved issues where Adminify styles and scripts were forcefully added to the default WordPress UI. Now, if the Adminify UI is disabled, no residual styles or scripts remain, ensuring compatibility with plugins like ACF, WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, Elementor, WordFence, Rankmath, and much more. Plus, we’ve introduced custom minimal icons for all default WordPress admin menu items.
Enhanced Options Panel
We’ve completely redesigned the options panel to be more user-friendly, easy to use, and far more intuitive than before. The new layout offers a streamlined experience, making it easier for you to find and adjust settings.
New Option Panel Includes:
- Customize: Tailor your WordPress admin experience to match your style and preferences.
- Admin Menu: Organize and manage your admin menu with ease.
- Productivity: Boost your efficiency with features designed to enhance your workflow.
- Security: Strengthen your site's security with advanced options.
- Performance: Optimize your site's performance for faster load times.
- Code Snippets: Easily manage and implement custom code snippets.
- White Label: Customize the branding of your WordPress admin area.
- Backup: Ensure your customization data is safe with reliable backup options.
Streamlined Plugin UI
We’ve simplified our UI with a focus on minimalism and intuitive navigation. Modules have been converted into standalone plugins for better organization. Some have new names while others retain their old module names. Here’s a list:
- Login Customizer -> Loginfy
- Activity Logs
- Google Pagespeed insights -> Google Pagespeed
- Admin columns -> Admin Column Editor
- Header & Footer scripts
- Dashboard & Welcome Widget
- Sidebar generator
- RoleMaster Suite (User role editor)
- Admin Bar Editor
Free Addon Modules for Existing Pro Users
Old Pro users will receive unique coupon codes to add new addons for free within two months of the update release. This resolves the issue of repurchasing features previously included in the full plugin.
New Features
We've added several new features and some are in the pipeline. These features are intended to enhance your WordPress admin experience and give you more control over your site.

- Screen & Help Tab Removal: Option to remove the Screen & Help tabs for a cleaner interface.
