WP Icons works best in our AdminPraise 2 template. This tutorial assume you've already installed and setup AdminPraise 2. If you haven't, visit the tutorial first.
After you've installed AdminPraise 2, we recommend using the WordPress theme, as it will make for a more seamless admin experience between Joomla and WordPress.

Setup Process
Navigate to Modules > Administrator.
Filter by mod_apicons and unpublish all in the apright1 and apright2 positions (skip this step if you wish to keep apicons published)

By default, WP Icons has no icons published, so edit the WP Icons module, edit the title to an appropriate title like "Dasboard" if you're selecting the Dasboard icons. Set the position to apright1. Set the ACL viewing permissions for the icons you'd like to display. (ex: for Dashboard set Dashboard and My Blogs to Super Administrator if you only want Joomla super admins to see the links)

Check the box next to the module and copy several times. Edit each module and repeat the last step.
Place modules in apright2, apright3, and apright4 to create new sets of tabs.

Don't forget, you can minimize the sidebar for a display very similar to WordPress' admin site!
