Tutorial to Change your WordPress Dashboard Colors

September 10, 2015 by ES Ivy

I find that changing the color schemes of my different sites, High School College Success!, E.S. Ivy, and Mom Behind the Curtain, and having a another color for my test sites, helps keep me from getting confused. (Notice I said “helps.” Let’s face it. WordPress development is confusing, even the famous “Five-minute install” that’s only five minutes if you’re already a trained software developer. End of rant.)

How to change your WordPress dashboard colors

If you haven’t used my tutorials before, start by reading How to read my WordPress tutorials.

From your WordPress dashboard:

> Users > Your Profile

Admin Color Scheme: Choose Blue, > Update Profile

That’s it!

If you think the blue color scheme is ugly, follow the directions again to change the color scheme back or choose another.

I hope these directions work for you! Please leave a comment (if the comments on this post are closed, comment on my latest post) or contact me and let me know if you run into a difficulty. I’ll do my best to make sure my directions are clear and still up to date. However, I am not a WordPress developer and unfortunately I can not provide technical support. If you need more help, a place to start is the WordPress support forums. And check out all my WordPress tutorials.
