Every Admin Screen
ConfigurationUpdated
Free + Pro. Free gives you the seven screens in the first table. Pro adds more entries to the same sidebar; each is listed in the second table.
Everything lives under one MediaShield menu in the WordPress sidebar. It opens a single app with its own left-hand menu. The address changes after a #, so you can bookmark any screen, for example wp-admin/admin.php?page=mediashield#/settings.
Before you start#
- Only administrators can open these screens.
- Without JavaScript the app shows a message asking you to turn it on.
