No settings page, no bloat — just activate and go. Dark mode for every corner of your WordPress admin. Instant toggle in the admin bar — no page reload Per-user preference: Dark / Light / Auto (follows system) Full block editor and Site Editor support 14 popular plugins supported out of the box Developer-friendly: filters for default preference, custom CSS, and editor canvas control Supported plugins: Advanced Custom Fields AIOSEO Better Search Replace Code Snippets Jetpack Kadence Blocks Nested Pages SmartCrawl SEO Smush The SEO Framework WooCommerce WPCode (Insert Headers and Footers) Yoast SEO (including Premium, Local, News, WooCommerce) Zamok The plugin adds a dark-mode class to the admin body when active, and provides three filters for customization: add_filter( 'dark_mode_dashboard_css', 'your_stylesheet_url' ) — replace the plugin’s admin stylesheet with your own. This swaps the whole file rather than adding to it, so your stylesheet has to cover everything the plugin’s does, and it does not affect the post editor’s content area. To add a few rules of your own instead, enqueue a second stylesheet — see the FAQ add_filter( 'dark_mode_dashboard_default_preference', function() { return 'disabled'; } ) — change the default mode for new users add_filter( 'dark_mode_dashboard_editor_canvas', '__return_false' ) — disable dark mode for the editor content area
