Installation & Activation
ID Dashboard Cleanup can be installed like any standard WordPress plugin.
Method 1: Install from WordPress Admin
- In your WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins > Add New.
- Search for “ID Dashboard Cleanup”.
- Click Install Now, then click Activate.
Method 2: Upload the ZIP File
- Download the plugin
.zipfile to your computer. - In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
- Select the
.zipfile and click Install Now. - Click Activate Plugin.
After Activation
- Visit the Dashboard — Navigate to the main WordPress Dashboard page. The plugin captures all registered widgets on this first visit.
- Open the settings page — Go to Settings > Dashboard Cleanup. You’ll see all detected widgets listed with checkboxes and drag handles.
If you go to the settings page before visiting the Dashboard, you’ll see a notice asking you to visit the Dashboard first. This is normal — the plugin needs to see which widgets are registered before it can list them.
Requirements
- WordPress: 5.0 or higher
- PHP: 7.2 or higher
