## Descrizione

Questo non è solo un plugin, è un simbolo di speranza ed entusiasmo di un intera
generazione riassunta nelle due parole più famose cantate da Louis Armstrong: Hello,
Dolly. Quando è attivo potrai vedere, in alto a destra sullo schermo del tuo admin
di ogni pagina, un pezzo causale del testo di Hello, Dolly.

Grazie a Sanjib Ahmad per l’illustrazione.

### 󠀁[A Classic Piece of WordPress History](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-classic-piece-of-wordpress-history/)󠁿

 [shadowheezy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shadowheezy/) 21 Ottobre 2025

Hello Dolly might be simple, but it’s iconic. Every time I open my WordPress dashboard
and see a lyric from Louis Armstrong’s “Hello, Dolly!” it’s a small reminder of 
WordPress’s roots — creativity, simplicity, and a touch of joy. It doesn’t do much,
and that’s the beauty of it. It’s a little piece of nostalgia that connects every
WordPress user to the spirit of open-source community and fun. Thanks for keeping
this classic alive!

### 󠀁[Nice Biolerplate code plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-biolerplate-code-plugin/)󠁿

 [dimkiriakos](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dimkiriakos/) 18 Agosto 2024

Even many people give a lot of hate to this plugin, they should not! This plugin
is not something that it’s useful your site operations, but it’s a nice boilerplate
for people that they want to start building plugins for WordPress. It shows that
you don’t need to write so much code to customize something in your WordPress app.
It introduces the wptexturize function the get_user_locale, the admin_notices action
hook and the admin_head action hook too. Yes it’s not the mode elegant thing that
comes. But it can be educational for beginners
