Another great video Paul. Many thanks for all your hard work.

[@troydean]

Thanks for mentioning our White Label CMS plugin, Paul :) Great video.

[@WPTuts]

My pleasure Troy. It's a nifty little plugin and one I've used many times over the years. 👍

[@Whiz_The_Mindbender]

It's a great plugin indeed. One question, my Elementor template is not showing as supposed to on the Dashboard what could be hindering that?

[@janin_heinze]

@@Whiz_The_Mindbender Unfortunately the same for me. :/

[@adrianwalker4597]

Another very informative and useful video. Thank you for all the effort and care you put into making this material, Paul.. You're an excellent, inspiring teacher - and your KZbin channel/website are extremely useful resources for anyone trying to get the most out of WordPress in 2019.

Thanx a million :)

[@WPTuts]

No problem Jorald, I hope you found it useful.

[@wgm247]

This is exactly what I do :)

[@WPTuts]

Nice. It's a much more focussed Dashboard. I'd probably combine it with Admin Columns to fine tune the various listings too. 🤔😁

[@Imaginativeone_DF]

Thanks for a great video. This works for the Admin Welcome Dashboard. Can I have a separate Welcome Dashboard for my User who has a custom role?

[@pellekarlsson152]

great video Paul! how I do wordpress dashboard and login responive working smoothly on mobile? can I do app for entire dashboard?

[@AndyDOHD1]

Thanks for this Paul. It's a pity it's not possible to hide individual plugins within the plugin list though. There are some plugins I wouldn't want the client to view, such as the White Label CMS. Got any quick solutions?

[@edtwodth]

Thanks for your great tutorials !!

[@WPTuts]

My pleasure Finn 👊😎

[@edtwodth]

Thanks, great video ... When I'm using a headline in elementor page for dashboard, its show fine. But if i chose to show the user name in the headline it dosen't show?

[@nicobrits2019]

Hi, appreciate your expertise. Do you have a tutorial that teaches how an admin can view and manage registered users to the site. These users should have some custom fields like category, location and business name. I don't know how to adapt all the tutorials that teach custom frontends using posts

[@sdprsavu]

Thanks for this...is it possible to rename the name of the plugins on the left side?

[@GeertBonamie]

Thanks for this Paul -for some or other reason my dashboard does show up, but without the elementor styling. Header styles, button colours, ... they all revert back to default settings. My inspector mentions an Uncaught TypeError in a js file -that probably has something to do with it. No time to look into it, though ...

[@joshuawoodham7640]

Did you resolve this? I have the same issue

[@GeertBonamie]

@@joshuawoodham7640 No, I couldn't be bothered to be honest. I didn't have the time and it was a hobby project anyway. Sorry!

[@PietroMalaguti]

Trying to use as per your demo but Welcome dashboard doesn't show the Elementor formatted look but standard WP fonts and colors

[@digital.olimon]

Did you ever fix this ? I'm having the same issue

[@ReeDesignNL]

Make sure you don't use Global styles and fonts in your Welcome Dashboard. Style every item by itself and then it shows up.

[@designpixels5975]

@@ReeDesignNL Thanks, that solved my problem.

[@CarlaHansson]

Hi Paul, I have the Slate Admin Theme plugin installed in a few of my sites and see similar warnings in the headers. This plugin doesn't seem to be updated as often as other similar plugins, however, I think it has the nicest UI of all. I was wondering if you have experienced any issues with it...?

[@lisaerez]

HI Paul, I just followed this tutorial. Slate admin theme works great in English, but as most of my clients have an RTL dashboard it doesn't render well in RTL (Hebrew). I always add Admin Language Per User plugin coz I personally am more comfortable working in English. Any suggestion for another admin theme that I can try to see if it works for RTL?

[@MadOldBiker]

IS there a plug in or function to limit by choice which left hand side menu elements can be removed ? I know some accesses like author or editor take some out- but its good to have a choice which elemets are left behind ...

[@robertolobry3653]

What plugin do you recommend for avatars, e.g. like in this tutorial?

[@ganeshborse3]

Need your support and guidance to choose the right plugins for wp development.

[@hjanrobert]

Great tutorial. Is it possible to change the link for the login logo? Right now, the logo links to my client¨s web page, but it would be nice to be able to change the link to something else. Thanks :)

[@adrianpal7889]

Hi, tnks for the video, but with this plugin i not can change the brand ''Elementor'' for ''my brand'' and thus leave elementor with white label, and another plugins right?

[@coreykretsinger]

Just tried it as a possible replacement to WP Admin Pages Pro which isn't playing well with Elementor. This plugin doesn't appear to be working anymore and hasn't been updated over the last 3 major versions.

[@josephlivengood4508]

How do I remove the other stuff like the search statistics, quick draft, activity, elementor overview?

[@wellnix53]

How would you display ONLY the Reports widget on the dashboard if you're using Memberpress? Or, can you display the common dashboard widgets when using the Elementor page builder? Oops. Typed too fast. You answered my question around the 15 minute mark. Kudos.

[@digitalievideos]

I have tried this options a few times now but all styling is stripped from the dashboard. Anyone know why?

[@josephdunleavy6817]

Still get the default WordPress welcome section on the dashboard. How on earth do I remove it

[@salahfreih8744]

How much does this affect the speed of your website?

[@AmitKumar-pc7mi]

Sir...I have a membership website, and also used a white label cms for the customers to aacess the customized dashboard...so that the member who takes the membership can acess the dashboard...but after login it takes me to the membership panel instead of the dashboard...pls guide...an early reply would be very helpful 🙏🙏

[@kjkilojoules]

White Label CMS plugin isn't working for me. I am getting an error message "Sorry your nonce didn't verify". Is this plugin still working?

[@greghyatt1601]

Hey Paul, is there a widget or way to put Google Analytics or possibly page speed widget onto the custom dashboard?

[@WPTuts]

I can't say I've cone across something that I'd be happy to use for that sorry Greg.

[@goshenweb]

Thanks for sharing. I noticed the developers have not updated both the Slate Admin Theme and the Whitelabel CMS in over 8 months. these are risky to install IMHO, especially in this day and time when hackers are looking for vulnerability all over the place. Like you mentioned, there are several alternatives in the wordpress repository.

[@chrismeyn1283]

This is why I've been a little hesitant to install these plugins as well. I doubt Troy has abandoned his plugin, but has the author of Slate? I just don't know.

[@alan-muscat]

Trying to use as per your demo but Welcome dashboard doesn't show the Elementor formatted look but standard WP fonts and colors. Any thoughts on this @WPTuts?

[@ReeDesignNL]

Make sure you don't use Global styles and fonts in your Welcome Dashboard. Style every item by itself and then it shows up.

[@isntlifebetter]

Does anyone know if there is a way to template your settings and plugins so when you create a new site all of those settings are there and you don't have to do it for each site?

[@synriser6742]

You can always export your templates.

[@ocastrod]

[@christianvannoort190]

how do you hide all the plugins you use to build the dashboard from your clients??

[@alan-muscat]

Just by hiding the Plugins menu item using the Menus section of White Label.

[@samuelrovetto6405]

It has changed in 2022

[@RemotTube]

Wow nice video, my question have you bid management system video or share me if have on it.. thank you

[@TDLRest]

It looks nice, but so many plugins to do some simple things, it's definitely not worth it. Too much bloated code, especially with elementor

[@bmsfx]

Useless.... :D i only use Oxygen builder.. no clue why they didnt add that one to dashboard, i see someone asked them, but they blocked the thread.. maybe they just hate it :P
