FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package lw-zenadmin

Lightweight ZenAdmin

Clean up your WordPress admin — notices sidebar, dashboard widgets, admin menu, and admin bar manager.

Before & After

Before	After

Features

Notice Collector

Collects all admin notices into a slide-in sidebar panel accessible from the admin bar.

Admin bar button — "Notices" label with a live badge count
Sidebar panel — slides in from the right with all collected notices
Flash-free — early CSS hides notices before JS loads
Dynamic — picks up notices generated during plugin updates/installs
Multiple close methods — Escape key, overlay click, or X button

Dashboard Widget Manager

Controls which widgets appear on the WordPress dashboard, grouped by source.

Auto-discovery — detects all registered dashboard widgets automatically
Grouped display — WordPress Core, WooCommerce, Third-party
Sensible defaults — Core + WooCommerce visible, Third-party hidden
Checkbox UI — simple table interface on the settings page

Admin Menu Manager

The WordPress admin sidebar is packed with menu items — most of which are rarely needed after the initial site setup. Media, Comments, Tools, and various plugin menus just add clutter and hurt usability, especially for non-technical users. The Admin Menu Manager lets you decide which menu items stay visible.

Auto-discovery — automatically detects all registered menus and submenus
Grouped display — WordPress Core, WooCommerce, LW Plugins, Third-party
Protected menus — Dashboard, Settings, Plugins, and LW Plugins can never be hidden, preventing lockouts
Submenu-level control — manage individual submenu items, not just top-level menus
Disabled by default — only activates when you enable it in the settings

Admin Bar Manager

Cache plugins (LiteSpeed, WP Rocket), SEO tools, and other plugins love adding items to the admin bar. The Admin Bar Manager lets you hide the ones you don't need.

Auto-discovery — detects all registered admin bar nodes automatically
Grouped display — WordPress Core, WooCommerce, Third-party
Protected items — My Account and Logout can never be hidden, preventing lockouts
Works everywhere — filters the admin bar on both admin pages and the frontend
Disabled by default — only activates when you enable it in the settings

WP-CLI

Full CLI support for toggling features, managing widgets and menus.

See docs/CLI.md for the complete command reference.
