TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for site administrators managing WordPress sites with multiple users who don't want individual admin color scheme preferences. It forces a single admin color scheme across all users and hides the color scheme setting from users who lack permission to change it globally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Force Admin Color Scheme

Have you followed all of the installation instructions? You must configure the forced admin color scheme by setting the color scheme for yourself while also checking the "Force this admin color scheme?" checkbox.

You can simply deactivate the plugin. Though bear in mind that if you later reactivate the plugin, the forced color scheme at the time the plugin was deactivated (if there was one) may be reinstated (depending on if the constant, hooked filter, and/or plugin setting are still present). To keep the plugin active, you can pursue the following steps (whichever may apply to you): * If the forced color scheme is being set via the constant or code making use of the filter hook, then the code relating to either of those cases must be commented out or disabled. * If the "Force this admin color scheme?" setting was used, then update an administrative profile to uncheck the checkbox and save.

Yes, but only via custom coding by making use of the c2c_force_admin_color_scheme filter. See the documentation for the filter for an example.

The plugin will recognize that the chosen admin color scheme is no longer valid and will act as if one isn't set. In such a case, users would then see their individually chosen admin color schemes. If the custom admin color scheme becomes available again (before a new existing color scheme is selected as the new scheme to be forced), then the plugin will reinstate it as the forced admin color scheme.

Just to be clear, if an admin color scheme is being forced, then non-admininistrative users won't see the admin color scheme picker at all. The plugin does not disable the admin color scheme picker for administrative users even if a value is directly configured in code (via the constant or the filter) so that the admin color schemes can still be seen and previewed in case an admin user wants to evaluate alternatives.

Yes. The tests are not packaged in the release .zip file or included in plugins.svn.wordpress.org, but can be found in the plugin's GitHub repository.
