Sodu is a focused admin experience layer for WordPress — not a bloated toolbox. Every feature exists to make WordPress feel finished for the people you hand it off to.
Free & Pro
Modern admin chrome
A complete visual rebuild of the WordPress admin shell — replacing the default sidebar and topbar with clean, modern alternatives that work alongside (not against) WordPress core.

Topbar with search, notifications, avatar
Pinned shortcuts bar for one-click access
Global command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K)
Keyboard navigation throughout
Pro
Client dashboard widgets
Replace the default WordPress dashboard with a polished client-facing workspace. Branded welcome card, site stats, and contextual cards driven by your site settings.

Site overview — posts, pages, comments, updates
Support & requests card with your contact info
Training center widget with custom link
Important information widget for client-specific notes
Pro

Pro
Client mode by role
Simplify the admin for selected user roles while keeping Administrators fully unrestricted. Hide risky menus, rename items in plain language, and shape what each client actually sees.
Take over the WordPress login page. Custom logo, background image or color, accent color from your settings — and a friendly login URL with a built-in safe fallback.
Custom login logo via media library
Custom login background image or solid color
Accent color applied to login buttons and inputs
Friendly login URL (e.g. /portal instead of /wp-login.php)
Safe fallback ensures you never get locked out

Plugin-safe by design
Sodu only controls the admin chrome — sidebar, topbar, dashboard, login. Plugin pages like WooCommerce, Elementor, ACF, and Yoast render exactly as their developers built them.
Reads WordPress menu structure dynamically
Any plugin menu item appears in Sodu's nav automatically
Plugin settings pages are never touched
Emergency "WP View" fallback for admins
Designed to be a peer, not a replacement
See it for yourself.
Install the free plugin and have a clean, modern admin running in under two minutes. No card needed.
