Descripció
WordPress 7.0 changed the default admin color scheme to “Modern”, renaming the long-standing classic palette to “Fresh” and migrated existing users over to the new default. This plugin quietly restores the classic Fresh scheme for every user, exactly once, without taking away anyone’s freedom to switch back later.
- Sets the color scheme to Fresh for newly registered users.
- Migrates each existing user from “Modern” (or no preference) back to “Fresh” the next time they visit the dashboard, exactly once.
- Leaves users who already chose another scheme (Light, Blue, Midnight, Ocean, Coffee, Ectoplasm, Sunrise, etc.) completely alone.
- Restores the classic “Fresh” look on the login screen too, the blue WordPress logo, the classic blue submit button, and the classic blue input focus ring.
- Cleans up after itself when deactivated, reverting every migrated user back to “Modern” and removing its own user metadata.
- No settings page, no public front-end assets, no scheduled jobs, no mass updates on activation. The login styles are printed only while the plugin is active and disappear the moment it is deactivated or deleted.
Instal·lació
- Upload the
restore-old-admin-colorsfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
- Visit any admin page — you’ll be back on the classic Fresh color scheme.
To uninstall, deactivate the plugin from the Plugins screen. The plugin reverts every user it migrated and removes its own metadata automatically; you can then safely delete the plugin folder.
PMF
-
Will this change custom colors I (or my users) have already picked?
-
No. The plugin only flips users whose admin color scheme is empty or set to the new 7.0 “Modern” default. Any explicit choice — Light, Blue, Midnight, Ocean, Coffee, Ectoplasm, Sunrise, etc. — is preserved as-is. After the one-time restore, users can pick any scheme on their profile page and the plugin will not interfere again.
-
Does this slow down my site?
-
No. There are no front-end assets, no settings page, and no expensive database loops on activation. The plugin runs two micro-checks against the object cache only when an admin is logged in, and after the first restore for a given user even those checks short-circuit immediately.
-
What happens when I deactivate the plugin?
-
The plugin cleans up after itself. On deactivation it reverts every user it migrated back to the WordPress 7.0 default (“Modern”), but only if that user is still on “Fresh” — anyone who later switched to a different scheme keeps their choice. The plugin’s own user metadata is also removed, leaving no leftover state in the database.

Registre de canvis
1.0.1
- Added: restores the classic “Fresh” styling on the login screen (wp-login.php) — the classic blue WordPress logo, the classic blue submit button (with hover/focus/active states), and the classic blue input focus ring.
- The login styles are output via the
login_enqueue_scriptshook only while the plugin is active; nothing is persisted, so they disappear immediately on deactivation or deletion with no cleanup required.
