01 / SOURCE DETAILS
This plugin does two things to your dashboard: The WordPress News and Other WordPress News sections are removed. You don’t even load them. Why? So you won’t have to bother with the AJAX call for the news. Also, it looks neater. The sidebar (with incoming links, recent posts, etc.) is made more horizontal, with four columns instead of the default one. This makes it so you can see all the information at one glance, rather than having to scroll down.
02 / SOURCE DETAILS
Upload cleaner-dashboard.php to the wp-content/plugins/ directory. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in the WordPress admin. Go to your dashboard, and enjoy its cleanliness!
03 / SOURCE DETAILS
What if we miss an update because the news is not there anymore? No worry. If you’re on WordPress 2.3 or above, then update checking is already in WordPress and a separate notification will be given to you.
