Description

Webknit Site Toolkit lets a site administrator:

  • Recolor the wp-admin sidebar, links, buttons, and form inputs, entered as hex codes or picked visually.
  • Customize the login screen: logo, full-page background image/color, form background/label colors, and button colors/text.
  • Toggle a set of miscellaneous settings: allow SVG uploads, disable SSL verification for WP Mail SMTP, disable outgoing emails, skip Wordfence tables during UpdraftPlus backups, skip Contact Form 7 submission emails, disable XML-RPC, remove the WordPress version number, disable emojis, hide the admin bar for non-admins, disable comments sitewide, remove “Howdy,” from the admin bar, and override the outgoing mail “from” name/address.
  1. Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/webknit-site-toolkit, or install through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
  3. Use the “Site Toolkit” menu in wp-admin to configure dashboard colors, the login page, and miscellaneous settings.
  1. Dashboard color settings — recolor the wp-admin sidebar, links, buttons, and form inputs with hex codes or a visual picker.

Why does one of the Misc. settings toggles show a message instead of Yes/No?

That setting acts on another plugin (WP Mail SMTP, Contact Form 7, or Wordfence + UpdraftPlus) that isn’t currently installed or active, so the toggle would have no effect. The message replaces the toggle until that plugin is active; your previously saved choice is kept and reappears once it is.

I don’t see the “Site Toolkit” menu in wp-admin.

Access requires the manage_options capability, which by default only Administrators have.

I changed a color or setting and saved, but the site still looks the same.

Generated CSS is served with a cache-busting version, but browsers can still hold an old copy. Hard-refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R) and confirm the save actually completed.

Where are the generated CSS files stored?

In wp-content/uploads/webknit-site-toolkit/. That directory must be writable by the web server, or dashboard/login color changes won’t apply.

1.0.1

  • Fix: outgoing email failed with an “Invalid address” error when the “Email from address” or “Email from name” field was left empty.
  • Fix: Contact Form 7’s per-form skip_mail setting was ignored while “Skip emails for all CF7 form submissions” was off.

1.0.0

  • Initial release.
