WordPress 7.0 animates navigation in the admin dashboard (view transitions), with no built-in option to disable it.
disable-admin-view-transitionsmu-plugin that unhookswp_enqueue_view_transitions_admin_css()fromadmin_enqueue_scripts— the core callback that enqueues the transitions CSS. Equivalent to the dequeue/deregister snippet in the linked article, but simpler and self-documenting. Verified against core:default-filters.phpregisters the action before mu-plugins load, so a top-levelremove_action()catches it; on WordPress < 7.0 it's a harmless no-op.The feature is purely cosmetic (the stylesheet only sets
@view-transitionandview-transition-namerules for the admin menu), so removing it affects no functionality. Trac #64529 proposes making core respect the per-user "animation effects" setting, at which point this plugin degrades to a no-op and can be removed.vendor/bin/phpcspasses.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
