Reclaim your admin dashboard: Get rid of annoying banners, unwanted ads and other nuisances.
Dashboard Cleaner allows you to hide any HTML elements from your admin dashboard such as annoying banners, unwanted ads and other nuisances, and basically anything else you want. It works like a DOM inspector: simply point and click on the HTML element you want to hide, select a few options and it’s gone!
dashboard-cleaner
folder to the /wp-content/plugins/
directory.Its settings are saved to the database, but the filters are saved to a file named dhcl_xxxxx.filter
and located inside the /wp-content/uploads/dashboard-cleaner/
folder (single installation) or the /wp-content/uploads/sites/X/dashboard-cleaner/
folders (multisite installation). Removing or renaming that file will simply delete your filters without affecting Dashboad Cleaner settings.
Hiding will remove the element and the space it occupies; making it invisible will mask the element but will keep the space it occupies. Hiding the element is the preferrered method but in a few cases, it can wrongly alter the whole page layout.
Partial match is accepted but whatever value you enter, it must start and end on a word boundary (as opposed to a substring). For more details about this, see the contextual Help tab in Dashboard Cleaner Settings page.
The attribute value is case-sensitive, the HTML element and attribute names aren’t.
Dashboard Cleaner runs only in the back-end section (admin dashboard) not the front-end, hence it won’t affect your visitors.
