About Material WP Material Design Dashboard Theme 0.0.49

Material WP replaces the look of the WordPress dashboard with a Material Design interface. Despite the word theme in its name, it changes the admin area and login page, not your public site. Features include a drag and drop admin menu that each user can reorder, menu item hiding, and parallax login styles.

It also offers settings import and export, a custom CSS field with SCSS support, RTL support and multisite support. The product title says 0.0.49 but the file on record is 1.9.1 from March 2018, so check the version in the package. Test it with your current WordPress first.

Key features

Material Design admin: Redesigns the WordPress admin interface.
Reorderable admin menu: Drag and drop menu order, individual to each user, with items that can be hidden.
Login page styles: Includes a parallax block and styles for the login page.
Custom CSS with SCSS: A CSS field that accepts SCSS syntax.
Import and export settings: Move your styling between sites.
Multisite and RTL: Network-wide styling and right-to-left support.

How to install Material WP Material Design Dashboard Theme 0.0.49

1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.

Notes for this product

The store files it as a theme, but it restyles the admin area. Check the package instructions for whether it installs under Themes or Plugins.

Setup: using Material WP Material Design Dashboard Theme 0.0.49

Install as the package directs. Activate it on a staging site before the live dashboard.
Open its settings. Set colours, menu widths and the login page style.
Arrange the admin menu. Drag items into your preferred order and hide those you do not need.
Check your plugins' admin pages. Visit each main plugin screen to see that it displays properly.

Common problems and fixes

A plugin's admin page looks broken

Why it happens: Plugins that do not follow WordPress guidelines for admin pages may not display well with the restyle.
How to fix it: Check the listed compatibility, such as WooCommerce, bbPress, BuddyPress and Jetpack, and use the custom CSS field to patch small issues.

“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading

Why it happens: The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it: Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.

“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”

Why it happens: The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
How to fix it: Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.

“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

Why it happens: Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
How to fix it: Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.

Licence or “updates unavailable” notices

Why it happens: The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
How to fix it: Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
