Page Collections & Page Filter

Your Pages list, finally organized

Group pages and posts into visual collections — auto-detected for the obvious ones, custom for the rest. Then filter to exactly what you need in one click.

  • Auto-detected collections — Homepage, Legal pages, WooCommerce system pages
  • Custom collections — Services, Landing Pages, anything — with a colored badge column
  • Status at a glance — homepage, orphans, not-in-menu, noindex, draft/published
  • Noindex detection works with Yoast SEO, Rank Math and SEOPress

List-table superpowers

Everything you need, right in the list

Stop opening the editor just to check or change one thing. The list screens tell you more — and do more.

  • Quick status switch — publish a draft or unpublish straight from the list
  • Scheduled countdown — "Publishing in 3 days" next to the title, no date math
  • Last edited column — who touched it, and how long ago
  • Sticky headers & larger lists — headers stay pinned, more rows per page
  • Bulk create — scaffold a whole page tree from a list of titles, Tab-indent for children
File handling & uploads

Uploads that just work

No more „Sorry, this file type is not permitted” mysteries and php.ini spelunking — manage everything from the admin.

  • 1-click plugin upload /span> — "Add Plugin" opens the upload screen directly
  • Filename cleanup — spaces, accents and uppercase become clean URL slugs
  • Clear error messages replace the cryptic "file type not permitted"
  • WebP / AVIF / SVG and custom file types — with a warning on risky executables
  • Max upload size set from the admin, up to your hosting's cap

Dashboard & notices

A dashboard worth landing on

Collapse the notice wall, drop the widgets you never read, and get the two widgets you actually need: updates and comments.

  • Tidy notices tray — promos and nags collapse into a counter; nothing is deleted
  • Update center — every plugin & theme update in one widget, with "Update all"; runs server-side, so it works where the built-in updater gets stuck
  • Comments widget — counts plus the latest comments, one-click or bulk trash
  • Dashboard cleanup & greeting — hide default widgets, land on a friendly hello
  • Quick admin navigation — New Page / New Post / New Product in the admin bar
Every fix is a module

18 modules. All on by default. All optional.

Pro features in detail

What Pro adds on top

Pro is for people who run many sites or many editors — it automates what Free lets you do by hand.

Smart collection rules

Auto-assign pages to collections by URL pattern, template or regex — new pages land in the right collection without anyone touching them.

Pinned pages & saved views

Pin your most-used pages to the top of the list and save filter combinations as one-click views.

Bulk noindex & menu actions

Set noindex or add pages to menus in bulk, straight from the list — no per-page editing.

Per-role upload rules

Different file types and size caps per role — designers get SVG, authors don’t.

SVG sanitization

Scripts are stripped from SVG files automatically on upload, so enabling SVG is safe for everyone.

Inline list-table editing

Edit titles, slugs and dates directly in the list without opening the editor.

Admin menu editor

Reorder, rename or hide admin menu items — per role if you want.

Dark mode & login customizer

A proper dark theme for wp-admin plus a branded login screen for your clients.

Activity log & revision cleaner

See who changed what and when — and keep the database lean by pruning old revisions on a schedule.

Pricing

Simple, transparent pricing — not per-feature, not per-user

No tier games. One license, one price, as many sites as the plan allows.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. It only fixes specific UX/UI rough edges. The standard WordPress admin stays exactly as it is — every fix is a module you can switch off.

SVG files can contain scripts, so only enable SVG uploads if you trust everyone who can upload media. The Pro version adds automatic SVG sanitization that strips scripts on upload.

WordPress can only raise the limit up to what your hosting allows. If your server’s php.ini upload_max_filesize / post_max_size is lower, that is the real cap — contact your host to raise it.

Yes — the noindex detection recognizes Yoast SEO, Rank Math and SEOPress.

No — Pro is a standalone plugin that includes everything in Free. If you have Free installed, Pro simply replaces it and keeps all your settings.

The plugin keeps working — nothing breaks and nothing gets locked. You just stop receiving updates and priority support until you renew.

Yes. You pay the difference and your remaining yearly term is credited — just write to info@qaiyo-plugins.com.

Yes — 14-day money-back guarantee on all Pro purchases, no questions asked.

Changelog

v1.4.5

Latest
  • New module — **Menu item visibility**: every menu item on the Appearance → Menus screen gets a "Visibility" setting — Always, Mobile only, or Desktop only. The usual reason: a header button like "Request a quote" does not fit on mobile and belongs in the hamburger menu instead, which until now meant building and maintaining a second, mobile-only menu.
  • The item is hidden with a CSS media query at 768px, never by leaving it out of the HTML, so the menu structure stays the same in every view and page caching is unaffected. (Pro can set the breakpoint to match your theme.)
  • Works with classic menus rendered by `wp_nav_menu()` — the same menus Bricks, Elementor and classic themes use. The block-based Navigation block draws its own markup and is not affected.

v1.4.4

  • New module — **Safe Mode link**: a way back into wp-admin when a plugin or theme update breaks the site, without FTP or a hosting panel. WordPress' own Recovery Mode only works through a link it emails once a day after the crash — and not at all on multisite — so if that email is lost you are locked out. Safe Mode gives you a link to save in advance instead.
  • Opening the link and logging in as an administrator loads a recovery console with every plugin switched off and a default theme in place of yours. The Plugins screen still shows the real active plugins, so deactivating the broken one leaves every other plugin exactly as it was. Visitors keep seeing the normal site.
  • It runs as a small, self-contained file in `wp-content/mu-plugins`, so it keeps working even when Admin Booster itself is the plugin that broke.
  • Hardened as a master key: the key lives after the `#` and never reaches server, CDN or proxy logs; only a fingerprint keyed with the wp-config.php security keys is stored; only administrators can log in, always with a password, with a built-in 5-attempt lockout; the console blocks installing, uploading, file editing and user management; every use is emailed to all administrators and logged; a used link retires itself once the site works again; one-hour, browser-bound sessions; HTTPS-only key entry on HTTPS sites; optional IP restriction.
  • The link is shown only once, when it is created. Off by default; turning it off, deactivating or deleting the plugin removes the file and the link.
  • New module — **Update crash protection**: after every plugin or theme update — a manual click, a bulk update, WP-CLI, or a remote dashboard such as ManageWP or MainWP — the site is loaded once, and if the update caused a fatal error the previous version is restored automatically. WordPress does this only for its own background auto-updates.
  • Only rolls back when the site worked right before the update and fails right after it; an update on an already broken site is left alone.
  • Every intervention is logged under Admin Booster → Update crash protection and emailed to all administrators, including when an automatic restore did not succeed (with the next steps).
  • If the server blocks loopback requests, the protection cannot check anything; it says so on the settings page instead of rolling back blindly.
  • WordPress' own background auto-updates are left to WordPress, which already runs the same check for them.

v1.4.3

  • New: **raise the server upload limit from the admin**, without cPanel, FTP or php.ini access. PHP's `upload_max_filesize` / `post_max_size` cannot be changed at runtime (not even from wp-config.php), so the new "Raise the server limit too" option writes them into `.user.ini` on PHP-FPM / FastCGI hosts, into `.htaccess` on Apache mod_php, and into both on LiteSpeed / CloudLinux LSAPI hosts (common with DirectAdmin and cPanel), where it depends on the host which one is honoured. Existing lines in those files are kept, the `.htaccess` lines are wrapped so a later server change cannot take the site down, and switching the option off or uninstalling removes them again.
  • The File handling tab now shows the limit PHP really applies and whether the raise took effect or is still pending. A host-locked limit (`php_admin_value`) is detected up front and reported instead of written, and if a host does not read the files at all, a "Server details" list shows exactly how PHP runs there, ready to send to the host.
  • Fixed: setting an upload size larger than the server allowed made uploads fail with a confusing "Unexpected response from the server" error, because WordPress advertised the higher limit while PHP silently discarded the file. The WordPress-side limit is now never higher than what the server really accepts, so oversized files get WordPress' clear "exceeds the maximum upload size" message instead.

v1.4.2

  • New module — **Update notification emails**. Every administrator gets an emailed summary of the plugin, theme and WordPress updates that are waiting, once a day or once a week. Choose which of the three you want to hear about.
  • It is a real digest, not one email per update check: the module records which version of which item it has already announced, so the same release is never reported twice, and no email is sent at all when nothing has changed.
  • Updates that were already installed before the summary went out are correctly left out, and when a plugin moves twice between two digests you are told about the version that is actually available now.
  • Added a "Send test email" button, because WordPress can only hand mail over to your server or SMTP plugin and cannot guarantee delivery. If a summary could not be handed over, the settings page now says so.
  • Delivery uses WordPress' own `wp_mail()`, so an SMTP plugin or a host-configured mail setup is used automatically — there is nothing to configure here.
  • Fixed: two strings ("Pending" in the comments widget, and the friendly "file type not allowed" upload message) were never included in the bundled translations and stayed English in every language.
  • Developers: the whole notification pipeline is filterable — recipients, item list, subject, message, frequency choices and whether email is sent at all — so an add-on can retarget or reroute it. See the bundled HOOKS.md.

v1.4.1

  • New module — **Separate table for pending updates**. On the Plugins screen, plugins with an available update are pulled out of the alphabetical list into a table of their own at the top, under an "Updates" heading, with every other plugin in a separate table below it. Nothing changes when every plugin is already up to date — no empty heading or empty table is ever shown.
  • The updates table is a real, working list table: each row keeps its update button and row actions, it stays inside the bulk-action form so "Update" and the other bulk actions apply to it, and it has its own select-all checkbox.
  • Fixed: the update-center's "check for updates" AJAX endpoint returned a hardcoded, untranslated "Forbidden" message when the current user lacked permission; it now uses a proper, translatable message.

v1.4.0

  • New — **Qaiyo ecosystem**. Other Qaiyo plugins can now report a summary card, and Admin Booster shows those cards in two places: a **Qaiyo ecosystem tab** on the settings page, and an optional **dashboard widget** that gathers them into one box instead of every plugin adding its own.
  • The settings tab lists every Qaiyo plugin in one of three states: live data for the plugins you already run, a "More detail in … Pro" link where the richer version of a card is a Pro feature of that plugin, and a one-line description plus a WordPress.org link for the plugins you do not have.
  • Cards for plugins you do not have carry no install button — only a "Details" link to the plugin's WordPress.org page, opened in a new tab.
  • The dashboard widget is only registered when an installed, active plugin actually reports a card, so it never appears empty.
  • The whole integration is a single documented filter (`qwab_ecosystem_widgets`) — no shared library, no bundled package and no load-order requirement, so a sibling plugin can ship its side whether or not Admin Booster is installed. The contract is documented in the bundled HOOKS.md.
  • A card that fails is contained: only that card is replaced with a short notice, and the rest of the page keeps working.

v1.3.0

  • New module — **Add to menu from the editor**. A "Menus" panel now appears in the editor sidebar for pages, posts and any other content type that supports navigation menus, so you no longer have to save your work, leave the editor and hunt for the page in Appearance → Menus.
  • Choose the menu and the level: add the content at the top level, or nest it under an existing top-level item as a submenu entry.
  • The level can be changed at any time afterwards. The panel preselects the menu and the level the content currently sits at, and the button becomes "Update level" — moving an entry between the top level and a submenu keeps its custom menu label, CSS classes, link target and description intact.
  • If the site has no navigation menu at all yet, you can create the first one straight from the panel — with an optional theme display location — and the content is added to it in the same step.
  • Menus the content is already in are listed with a one-click Remove. Removing an item that has children moves those children up a level instead of leaving them orphaned and invisible.
  • Duplicates are prevented, and on block themes without registered menu locations the panel explains that classic menus will not show up on their own.
  • Fixed: the bundled translation files could contain a duplicate entry, which made them invalid for tools such as Loco Translate or msgfmt. The translation build now collapses duplicates.
  • Re-checked against the released WordPress 7.1: no further changes were needed. The new panel is a classic meta box, which renders outside the editor iframe and is unaffected by the 7.1 iframe change.

v1.2.0

  • WordPress 7.1 ready. The post editor is now always served inside an iframe in WordPress 7.1; the Gutenberg module was reviewed against this and needs no workaround, because it only talks to the editor data store and never touches the editor canvas.
  • Fixed: opening the block inserter now uses the current editor store API. The previous call has been deprecated since WordPress 6.5 and printed a deprecation warning in the browser console on every editor load. Older WordPress versions keep working through a fallback.
  • Tested up to WordPress 7.1.

v1.1.0

  • New: Dashboard greeting — a friendly personal greeting at the top of the main WordPress dashboard (toggleable module).
  • Performance: the Update center widget now caches the available-update list, so the dashboard no longer re-scans plugin and theme files on every load.
  • Performance: faster Page Collections auto-detection on large Pages/Posts lists.
  • Security: the optional filename cleanup now only affects real media uploads (no longer touches other filename handling), and custom upload file types can no longer enable risky executable or script extensions (php, js, html, css, etc.).
  • Added a SECURITY.md with a vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact.
  • Housekeeping: removed unused code and moved inline styles into stylesheets.

v1.0.0

  • Initial release: Page Collections, Page Filter, 1-click plugin upload, Gutenberg UX, quick add menu, larger list views and full file handling.
  • Plus: tidy admin notices tray, dashboard cleanup, scheduled-post countdown, sticky list-table headers, last-edited column and quick status switching.
  • Plus: bulk page/post creation (with Tab-indented child hierarchy), an update-center dashboard widget, a comments dashboard widget and the Explore Qaiyo plugin directory with update notices.
