## Description

**DawsonyWeb – Admin Utilities** is a developer-friendly WordPress plugin that packages
the small admin improvements you actually need into one clean, modular plugin. No
bloat, no nag banners, no upsells.

Each tool (module) can be independently enabled or disabled. Only enabled modules
load their hooks and assets, keeping your admin fast.

#### Modules Included

**Copy Buttons Everywhere**
 Adds copy buttons for IDs, permalinks, edit links, 
and slugs across:

 * Post/Page/CPT list tables (row actions)
 * Single post edit screens (meta box)
 * Users list table
 * Taxonomy term list tables

**White Label, Maintenance and Handoff**
 The Free plugin also includes login/footer
branding, scheduled maintenance mode and a client handoff report. These existing
features remain Free.

**Environment Badge**
 Shows a color-coded environment indicator (LOCAL / DEV / 
STAGING / LIVE) in the admin bar. Uses `wp_get_environment_type()` with a `DAWSONY_ENV`
constant fallback. Configurable per role.

**Debug Snapshot**
 A read-only support snapshot page showing WordPress version,
PHP version, server info, memory limits, active theme, active plugins, and more.
Includes a one-click «Copy as Text» button for easy sharing with support teams.

**Global Admin Notice Board**
 Set a message that appears in wp-admin for selected
roles. Supports basic HTML, notice type (info/success/warning/error), optional expiry
date, and per-user dismissal with admin reset.

**Dashboard Widget Manager**
 Hide or show dashboard widgets per user role. Automatically
discovers all registered widgets (core + plugin) and lets you control visibility
from a simple settings UI.

#### Philosophy

 * Admin tools run in wp-admin; optional maintenance mode and login branding affect
   the public site when enabled.
 * No external tracking, telemetry, or «phone home» behavior
 * Validated settings imports with a 1 MB size limit
 * Nonces for all actions, capability checks for all settings
 * Clean uninstall removes all data

### Privacy

DawsonyWeb – Admin Utilities does not collect, store, or transmit any data externally.
All data is stored locally in your WordPress database (wp_options and wp_usermeta).
No cookies are set. No external requests are made.

## FAQ

### Where are the settings?

Go to **Tools  Dawsony Utilities**. The Modules tab lets you enable/disable each
tool. Enabled modules with settings get their own tabs.

### Does this plugin affect the front end?

Most modules run in wp-admin. The included maintenance mode and login branding deliberately
change public output when you enable them.

### What happens when I disable a module?

Its hooks are immediately unregistered. No assets load, no UI appears. The module’s
settings are preserved in case you re-enable it.

### What PHP version is required?

PHP 7.4 or higher.

### Is this plugin multisite compatible?

The plugin will not cause errors on multisite, but the settings are per-site. Network-
wide settings are not yet supported.

### How does the Environment Badge detect the environment?

It checks `wp_get_environment_type()` (available since WP 5.5). You can override
it with the `DAWSONY_ENV` constant in `wp-config.php`.

### Does the Debug Snapshot expose any secrets?

No. It only shows safe, support-friendly information. No database credentials, API
keys, or sensitive constants are included.
