Hiding the SmallBiz Options panel
Question:
I would like to hide selected parts of the Smallbiz Options Panel.
I would also like to hide the “Help” section because I want my customers to come to me for requests.
Answer:
SmallBiz Theme allows you to hide all individual dropdown boxes of the Smallbiz Options Panel.
This gives you complete control over what your client can access and what not.
Step by Step:
1) Use an FTP Client or Filemanager to access your hosting server
2) Navigate to the “admin-ex.css” file located in the Smallbiz CSS folder.
Typical filepath: yourdomain/wp-content/themes/smallbiz/css
3) Open the “admin-ex.css” in a text editor of choice (Notepad++ for PC or TextWrangler for Mac)
4) You will see a listing of all dropdowns in the very top of the file. (See screesnhot below)
5) Replace “margin-top:10px” with “display:none”
For example if you want to hide the “Help” Section you would replace:
#dropdowns-help{
margin-top:10px;
}
Replace with the following:
#dropdowns-help{
display:none;
}
Another Exapmle if you want to hide the Mobile Option you would replace:
#dropdowns-mobile{
margin-top:10px;
}
With the following:
#dropdowns-mobile{
display:none;
}
If you would to remove all “Pro Tip” Sections which link to Expand2Web replace:
#protip{background:#f2f2f4;}
With the following:
#protip{display:none;}
Remove All Branding:
Hide the “#dropdowns-help” and “#welcome-box” section and set “protips” to display none to remove all branding and
links to Expand2Web from the SmallBiz Options Panel.
