Here are five strategies that can help in organizing the dashboards of sites that you design and develop, making your WordPress life easier and more satisfying.
Organize the WordPress dashboard
Start with decluttering your dashboard and remove what you don’t want Why bother seeing the same information and widgets whenever you log in that you don’t ever use? The easiest way to do that is a tiny button at the top of your dashboard labeled Screen Options.
Organize the WordPress admin menu
Admin Menu Editor does exactly what its name suggests: edits the admin menu and lets you customize it as much as you want. You can change the ordering, change the name or the link, and even create submenus. You can also group different menu items together, like grouping together all plugin menu items, or all theme related menu items, etc.
Get the most from folders
Every single image that you’ve uploaded, every post or page just displayed out there in a grid or list, sorted by the date uploaded, but no smart structure or association. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could organize them into folders so you can find them easier later? Well, there’s good news; you can! Folders is an amazing plugin that, as its to-the-point name suggests, helps you organize your images, posts, pages, and more into folders.
Categorize & tag everything
Labeling your posts and content with categories and tags is another great way to not only have an organized site for your visitors, but it helps organize your WordPress backend as well. Whenever you create a blog post or any custom post/item, like products, items, courses etc., you can set both categories and tags to sort them out and help filter through them later.
Clean out unused content
As you’re going through your website, delete unneeded pages or posts, or deactivate old plugins. Even just organizing the dashboard, menu, media, and posts can help immensely in decluttering and organizing your website(s), making working in them a pleasure rather than a chore.
