Turbo Admin for update today. v1.16.0 fixes a bug discovered by Phil Kurth (philkurth.com.au/) – thank you – and introduces a new menu-hiding feature.

This is great if you have a cluttered left-hand admin menu. You can alt/option-click items to move them to a new expandable section and then just access those items using the command palette! Yay! This is early/experimental – let me know what you think.

Creating a settings page for a browser extension isn't that hard after all. Mostly re-used code from the pop-up.

This opens up whole worlds of stuff for Turbo Admin!!!

Nice things…

2) For some weird reason I never discovered the Logitech wired game controller I bought a while back didn’t work with some games on my Mac. But I finally bought an 8Bitdo wireless controller and it’s a really nice bit of kit and has got me playing No Mans Sky again. It’s so much better on the Mac than the Switch. Making me happy!!

Nice things…

1) Our recent holiday was at this place: https://www.bournemouthbeachlodges.co.uk/

The lodges are really cute and well designed and equipped. Was great with 12+8 yo, but I think it would be hard with older kids as there are no “rooms”. It’s like a two-storey open plan caravan. But we were quite happy there! 😃

Recommended!!

LOL. Well done Reform UK’s web developers, who were using a Facebook tracking pixel without consent.

“It said the tracking tool had been embedded because Reform’s site was made using a template that included it”

“A spokesperson for the party said any issues with the Meta pixel appeared to be “cock-up rather than conspiracy”.”

Amateurs. 🙄

Was gonna see if I could quickly add plugin activate/dectivate to Turbo Admin's command palette, but turns out it needs some bigger changes to make that happen.

I know how to do it now though. And I know it's possible. So it WILL be on the roadmap!

Trying to get the REST API to let me activate/deactivate a plugin using login cookies and a nonce.

Still getting 401 responses – unauthorized.

Is this simply not possible? Is it required to have an application password or something?

I'm not sure I like this now that I've build it into Turbo Admin. Will have to see. (There's some niggles to fix first too)

It may be that it's better for where you have plugins that insist on having their own top-level menu item.

Reminder: The hidden items AND the open/closed state is saved not just within one site, but across all sites (if you use the browser extension).

So you can, for example, hide Yoast SEO *everywhere*!

I did a holiday!!

I never announce this until it’s over. But we’re home. So yay for beaches and beach lodges and games and ice creams.

I'm toying with the idea that, if you have a command palette, you may not need all the menu items. So maybe Turbo Admin should be able to hide menus… ?

(On all of your WP dashboards, of course!)
