give CSS classes to a menu item
by default, the menu gets pretty long and crowded for larger projects

we’ll enqueue a function that has some CSS in it
<?php // CUSTOM CSS FOR ADMIN PAGES FUNCTION function admin_menu_styles() { // THIS GETS EMBEDDED IN THE <HEAD> OF ALL ADMIN PAGES echo '<style type="text/css"> YOUR CSS HERE </style>'; } // MAKE IT HAPPEN add_action('admin_head', 'admin_menu_styles'); ?>
free plugins coming next!
