Dashboard Widgets Control

Beschrijving

Provides a new dashboard widget to display all registered dashboard widgets and enables to remove the other dashboard widgets individually
for all or selected roles (i.e. even from the screen options) in order to avoid irritation of your clients or other site contributors.
When checked indiviually, widgets will be highlighted for identification of unknown widget names.
The intention is to avoid confusion how to handle the screen options to not show or how to interpret unknown or uninteresting dashboard widget content.
This plugin is self explanatory and can be accessed through the admin dashboard.

26 januari 2022
I was looking for a simple plugin to control dashboard widgets and this could be it. The logic seems odd as I seem to have the widget disabled and then it's not when I disable something else so some help with config would be good. The UI is a bit cramped in a column and it would be good to be able to set globally for a specific role - i.e. select a role and then apply to all widgets instead of having to select for every widget every role. Great start and I look forward to seeing this develop!
