Frequently asked questions.
Why is my dashboard empty after installing your plugin?
After installation access to all dashboard widgets is removed, then you can use the options at Settings > Dashboard Commander to configure the minimum access level for each widget.
I have a widget that shows up when I’m logged in as an Administrator, but i can’t get it to show up for an Editor/Author/Contributor?
Some WordPress core dashboard widgets and other plugin dashboard widgets are restricted to a certain user capability level. Example: You can not make the Recent Comments dashboard widget visible to a Subscriber, Contributor or Author because of this fact. This can not be overridden using Dashboard Commander, but you can override this behavior by hacking the specific widget-setup function in the WordPress core or plugin code.
