Clutter Free

About

Clutter Free is a plugin that lets you hide portions of the WordPress posting interface that you rarely (or never) use. Instead of being minimized (and still taking up room), they’ll be completely invisible.

Clutter Free works on WordPress 2.0.5 and above. With earlier WordPress versions, there are a few areas that cannot be hidden. Upgrade!

Download

Instructions

  • Download and unzip
  • Upload clutter-free.php to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  • Activate it from within the WordPress admin interface.
  • Go to your WordPress user profile (”My Account” for 2.0.x and “My Profile” for 2.1)
  • Uncheck any elements you do not want to appear on your post screen
  • Save your profile

Versions

  • 0.4 Fixed an array bug, cleaned up some code
  • 0.3 The “Preview” and “Image Upload” sections are now removed (not just hidden with CSS) which makes editing posts faster (code adapted from Owen Winkler’s Kill Preview plugin)
  • 0.2 Added “quicktags” blocking
  • 0.1 Initial release

I’ve spent a lot of time writing this code and supporting it. If you derive some benefit from this code, please consider showing your gratitute in a more tangible
way. Thanks!

I have received $0 this month for my coding efforts.

    Nice plugin.

    I have a feature request: could you adapt it so that it can also be used for pages instead of articles ? It does work to eliminate some elements, but for pages, there are still lots of things that could be removed (page order, page template, parent page etc).

    Thank you for your work.

    This might of been mentioned before but is there any way to hide the plugin from certain users? im using the role-manager plugin to manage what certain users can do, is there anyway to integrate your plugin with this one?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    cheers

    I would also like to have the ability to hide certain fields from specific users (or all users except admin). I will definitely donate if you add this feature. thanks!

  11. I tried to contact you a while ago, I didn’t hear a response (may have been lost int he hundreds of other emails:) ) – so I just applied the upgrades myself:
    http://bradyjfrey.com/blog/wordpress-plugin/cloak/

    You’re welcome to take it back and do with it what you choose, I credited you heavily. Adjustments I applied:
    - works for 2.5 options now, both post and page
    - updated some of your html to fix an error (your paragraph tag in the admin, the first under the header, was not opened)
    - changed the tags and name info so it doesn’t compete with yours
    - added the globalize feature, so it’s not an individual user preference

    Thank you!

    0$ donated this month? No fair ;)
    I’d be really interested in contracting you to help me make a custom write panel in 2.7. It would essentially be what you have already implemented in Clutter Free, with an additional text field, some labels, and a limit on selectable categories. Contact me if you’re interested!
