Plugin approved in the repository of the plugin directory on 2017-11-09 Tips A neat trick, is to put this single file dismiss-welcome-nag.php (not its parent directory) in the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory (create it if not exists) so you won't even have to enable it, and will be loaded by default, also, since first step installation of WordPress setup! Explanation This, is different from the other similar plugins, because uses the filter hook, and not the action hook. Filters should filter information, thus receiving information/data, applying the filter and returning information/data, and then used. However, filters are still action hooks. WordPress defines add_filter/remove_filter as "hooks a function to a specific filter action", and add_action/remove_action as "hooks a function on to a specific action". What is Welcome Panel? Welcome Panel is a dashboard widget experience for WordPress 3.5+ About it The code of this plugin, is not written with a php framework, but with a simple php editor, manually, compatible UTF-8 without BOM, and Unix LF. To avoid code corruption, do not edit it with WordPress embedded editor, or with any specifications incompatible editor.
