The WordPress admin area comes with various elements that you might not need. Falcon helps you remove unnecessary items from the admin interface, making it cleaner and more focused on what matters to you.
The settings for admin cleanup are available in the Admin tab on the Falcon settings page.
Show site icon on the login page
By default, WordPress shows its logo on the login page. This feature replaces it with your site's icon (set in Settings > General), giving your login page a more branded and professional appearance. It's a simple way to customize the login experience without modifying theme files.
Remove update nags
WordPress displays update notifications at the top of admin pages when updates are available. While these are helpful reminders, they can be distracting if you manage updates through other means or prefer to handle updates on your own schedule (see Disable components). Removing update nags keeps your admin interface cleaner and less cluttered.
Remove footer text
The WordPress admin footer displays "Thank you for creating with WordPress" and the WordPress version number. Removing this footer text gives you a cleaner admin interface and can make your admin area look more professional, especially if you're building sites for clients who don't need to see WordPress branding.
Remove default dashboard widgets
The WordPress dashboard comes with several default widgets like "At a Glance", "Activity", "Quick Draft", and WordPress news feeds. If you don't use these widgets or prefer a minimal dashboard, removing them creates a cleaner workspace. This feature also removes widgets from popular plugins like WooCommerce, Jetpack, and others, giving you complete control over your dashboard.
Remove WordPress logo in admin bar
The WordPress logo appears in the admin bar (the toolbar at the top of your site when logged in). Removing it gives you a cleaner admin bar and removes WordPress branding. This is especially useful if you're building sites for clients and want to minimize WordPress branding in the admin area.
Remove application passwords
Application passwords allow external applications to authenticate with your WordPress site via the REST API. If you don't use external apps, mobile apps, or API integrations, disabling this feature reduces potential security risks. It prevents the creation of application passwords entirely, which is useful if you want to restrict API access to only logged-in users through other means.
