I have to say I really love this new easy admin area. We were actually about to begin the process of creating our own simplified admin area plugin so this is a major help!
I was wondering if it is possible to default all users to the easy admin area or will they have the click the "Go To Easy Admin Panel" button at the top of the dashboard.

@Aaron, my experience has been that even with easy-blogging-wizard enabled, new users are still asked to choose the easy-admin when they first login. I also wanted to get rid of this question (as I obviously want them to use the wizard) and so just commented out add_action("admin_init", array(&$this,"first_login"), 1);
It's on line 93 or so of easybloggingfiles/easy_blogging.php
I also commented out the entire function first_login() which is about lines 485-491 of the same file.
Works like a charm for me. Users log in, go through the easy admin wizard and then have the choice to stay in easy admin or go to the advanced (normal) wordpress interface. The noobs seem to really like it.
Great plugin. And great that it's localized and translatable.
I'm gonna install this plugin, but I'm going to do it after WP 3.0 is released. I'm expecting big issues in this type of plugin with WP 3.0 and I'm guessing it'll take some time to update this plugin for 3.0 once it's released.
Two questions.... can this plugin be used on non-multi site? And second, I REALLY like Ozh drop down menu but with easyblogging installed it shows up funny. Is there any way to make the two work together?
On the compatibility issue.... Is there a way to turn Ozh Drop Down menu off while in easy mode and turn it back on for regular mode?.... rather than trying to make the two compatible.

Hiya!
@patung I'd keep this plugin in the mu-plugins folder. On a multi-site install each user can choose whether or not to use it (thus making it available site by site).
@czydrm See above. Even on a single-user site, I'd put it in mu-plugins. It should work fine in the regular plugins folder as well though.
Is there a way to turn Ozh Drop Down menu off while in easy mode and turn it back on for regular mode?
You'd need to write a custom plugin for this or add a filter to the easy blogging plugin. It's a neat idea though! :D

If you add the wizard it will give new users that option:

I second those questions, I really like the Ozh admin menu.
Another question, this is not the sort of plugin I want in mu-plugins, can it just be put in /plugins/ and activated blog by blog?

Hi Guys,
Sorry - looked like these slipped through the cracks!
> can this plugin be used on non-multi site?
Yes, absolutely :)
> And second, I REALLY like Ozh drop down menu but with easyblogging installed it shows up funny. Is there any way to make the two work together?
Afraid not with this one - easyblogging is basically there to 'take over' the area so compatibility with other plugins is pretty hard :/
> Another question, this is not the sort of plugin I want in mu-plugins, can it just be put in /plugins/ and activated blog by blog?
Go for it!

I tried, on the plugins page it says "Network Only", can't activate just for one blog.
Member — 22nd August 2010 (1 year ago) #
So for a regular, non-multi site.... how do you install it?
