WordPress Backend Structure

WordPress Backend is designed to be user-friendly, fast, and feature rich. Almost every single function of your WordPress installation that a user can configure will be accessible from the backend.

Certain themes or plugins may change how things look/work in the backend. For example the fonts, the visibility of the toolbar, accessible menu items, etc.
