The Branding tab inside Settings lets agencies and developers present WP Manager Pro to clients under a custom brand name. All three fields are optional — leave any field blank to keep the default value.

Plugin Name

Changes the name shown in the plugin’s own sidebar header. Defaults to “WP Manager Pro”.

Admin Menu Label

Changes the label in the WordPress left-hand navigation menu. Defaults to “WP Manager”.

Sidebar Logo URL

Replaces the default icon in the plugin’s sidebar header with a custom image.

​
Custom Plugin Name

The Plugin Name field sets the name displayed in the plugin’s own sidebar header at the top of every page. It does not change the name on the WordPress Plugins list page.
  • Default value: WP Manager Pro
  • Leave blank to restore the default.
  • The value is stored in the wmp_plugin_name option in wp_options.

​
Admin Menu Label

The Admin Menu Label field controls the text shown in the WordPress left-hand navigation menu — the item your client clicks to open the plugin.
  • Default value: WP Manager
  • Leave blank to restore the default.
  • The value is stored in the wmp_menu_label option in wp_options.
The admin menu is rendered server-side on every page load. After saving a new label, reload the browser tab for the updated text to appear in the WordPress sidebar.
The Sidebar Logo URL field replaces the plugin’s default icon in the sidebar header with a custom image — typically a client or agency logo.
  • Recommended size: 28 × 28 px, transparent PNG or SVG.
  • Click Select next to the field to open the native WordPress Media Library picker and choose an image from the media library or upload a new one.
  • If the Media Library is unavailable (some hosting environments), a fallback prompt lets you type a URL directly.
  • Once a URL is entered, a small preview thumbnail appears beneath the field so you can verify the image before saving.
  • The value is stored in the wmp_logo_url option in wp_options.
Use a square, transparent PNG at 28 × 28 px or 56 × 56 px (for HiDPI screens) to get the sharpest result in the sidebar header.

​
What white-labelling does not change

Branding settings only affect what is displayed in the WordPress admin interface. They do not change:
  • Plugin file paths — the plugin remains at wp-content/plugins/wp-manager-pro/.
  • REST API namespace — all API routes remain under wp-manager-pro/v1.
  • Database table names — custom tables (wp_wmp_snippets, wp_wmp_redirects, etc.) are unchanged.
  • The WordPress Plugins list — the plugin’s name on the Plugins administration page is determined by the plugin file header, not by these settings.
Branding settings are stored in wp_options. If you deactivate and reactivate the plugin, the saved values are retained and applied automatically.

​
Setting up custom white-label branding

1

Open Settings → Branding

Navigate to Settings in WP Manager Pro and make sure the Branding tab is selected.
2

Enter a custom plugin name

Type your agency or client brand name in the Plugin Name field. This is what appears in the plugin’s own sidebar header.
3

Set the admin menu label

Type the sidebar menu text in the Admin Menu Label field. Keep it short — long labels can be truncated in a collapsed sidebar.
4

Choose a logo

Click Select next to the Sidebar Logo URL field to open the WordPress Media Library. Select an existing image or upload a new one, then click Use this image. The URL is populated automatically and a preview appears beneath the field.
5

Save the settings

Click Save Settings. A success toast confirms the changes have been written to the database.
6

Reload the page

Reload the browser tab. The new plugin name, menu label, and logo are now visible throughout the WordPress admin.

​
Presenting the plugin to clients

When delivering a site to a client, set the Admin Menu Label to a name that matches your agency brand (for example, “Site Manager” or “Admin Tools”). Upload your agency logo as the Sidebar Logo URL. From the client’s perspective, the plugin appears as part of your branded service rather than as a third-party tool.
