Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin need Dprime Core?
No. Dprime Admin works fully on its own. If Dprime Core is installed, Admin nests under the Dprime parent menu automatically.
Will my existing colour settings be kept after an update?
Yes. The option key has not changed since version 1.7.4. Your colours, footer branding, and menu rules carry forward across updates.
Can I hide the admin bar from certain roles too?
The admin bar on the front end is handled by a separate plugin: Dprime Hide Admin Bar. Install it alongside this one for front end toolbar control.
What happens if I turn off the theme toggle?
WordPress admin reverts to its default appearance. Your colour settings stay saved and come back when you turn the toggle on again.
Why do Dprime plugin settings pages look different from the rest of wp-admin?
Dprime plugin pages ship their own design system styling. The theme detects those screens and skips its content restyling there, so the two never fight.
