No bloat, no nag banners, no upsells.<\/p>\n\n<p>Each tool (module) can be independently enabled or disabled. Only enabled modules load their hooks and assets, keeping your admin fast.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Modules Included<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Copy Buttons Everywhere<\/strong>\nAdds copy buttons for IDs, permalinks, edit links, and slugs across:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Post\/Page\/CPT list tables (row actions)<\/li>\n<li>Single post edit screens (meta box)<\/li>\n<li>Users list table<\/li>\n<li>Taxonomy term list tables<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Environment Badge<\/strong>\nShows a color-coded environment indicator (LOCAL \/ DEV \/ STAGING \/ LIVE) in the admin bar. Uses <code>wp_get_environment_type()<\/code> with a <code>DAWSONY_ENV<\/code> constant fallback. Configurable per role.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Debug Snapshot<\/strong>\nA 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.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Global Admin Notice Board<\/strong>\nSet 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.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Dashboard Widget Manager<\/strong>\nHide or show dashboard widgets per user role. Automatically discovers all registered widgets (core + plugin) and lets you control visibility from a simple settings UI.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Philosophy<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>No front-end output or performance impact<\/li>\n<li>No external tracking, telemetry, or \"phone home\" behavior<\/li>\n<li>All inputs sanitized, all outputs escaped<\/li>\n<li>Nonces for all actions, capability checks for all settings<\/li>\n<li>Clean uninstall removes all data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Privacy<\/h3>\n\n<p>DawsonyWeb - Admin Utilities does not collect, store, or transmit any data externally.
