White Label Pro, our premium plugin, is designed to give you a superior level of control over your WordPress site’s admin functionality. This includes how themes are viewed and managed by admin users. One of White Label Pro’s theme-related features is the option to remove the WordPress Theme Details overlay. Removing this overlay helps prevent your admin users from accessing more information about a theme than you want them to have. This is a popular feature with WordPress developers and marketing agencies who manage client websites.
What Do WordPress Theme Details Look Like?
Each theme, on the Themes screen of the admin, has a Theme Details button available when you hover over them. Clicking this button brings up the Theme Details overlay, like so:
This overlay gives you even more information about a theme, including:
- Theme Name
- Theme Screenshot
- Version Number
- Author’s Name
- Theme Description
- Action Buttons (Live Preview, Activate, etc.)
Typically, this is more information than some WordPress site managers want every admin user to have. Therefore, removing the WordPress Theme Details button and overlay is an easy way to limit access to those details.
