## Descrizione

Remove individual widgets from the WordPress Dashboard, hide Menu Items and disable
Update Notifications. Many of my clients find the sheer volume of information in
the WordPress Admin Area a bit intimidating. I wanted to create an easy to use, 
codeless, great looking solution to toggle such items on and off, to make it easier
for casual users and newcomers alike.

This Plugin was inspired by Joseph Lowery when he kindly explained how to remove
dashboard widgets. After getting into coding, I added several other options.

Special thanks to Kushagara Agarwal for the wonderful CSS.

## FAQ

### How to I use this plugin?

Simply activate it, then head over to Dashboard – Zen Dash where an admin interface
is waiting for you. Use the sliders to activate or deactivate an, then hit “Save
Changes”.
 You can also choose to enable or disable all widgets at once.

### Can I still access removed Menu Items?

Yes. Zen Dash only hides them, but if you know the direct URL you can still call
it.
 For example, to access the Dashboard, you can still navigate to yourdomain.
com/wp-admin/index.php

### Can I still update WordPress Core / Themes / Plugins with disabled notifications?

Yes indeed. Zen Dash only hides the notifications at the top, not the fact that 
an update is available.
 When you’re ready to update, activate notifications again,
then head over to Dashboard – Updates.

### HELP! I’ve disabled the Dashboard Menu Item, and now I can’t access Zen Dash options to bring it back!

You can access the Zen Dash options by hovering over the Admin Footer. Please do
not disable both.

### HELP! I’ve disabled BOTH the Dashboard menu AND the Zen Dash footer link…

You can still call the Zen Dash menu directly by appending “index.php?page=zendash”
to your admin area.
 For example, if your URL in the admin area is “mydomain.com/
wp-admin”, head over to “mydomain.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=zendash”. If that 
doesn’t work for you, please disable and uninstall the plugin, then re-install it.
This will reset all your options.

### How to I remove the Jetpack Feedback option?

It’s a tad tricky, but can be done under Jetpack – Settings. Towards the bottom 
you’ll find a Debug option. Select it and look for a link that reads “Access the
full list of Jetpack Modules on this site”. After clicking it, find an option to
disable the Contact Form. This will remove the Feeback Tab as well as the Jetpack
Contact Form. I only recommend this if you have another Contact Form solution in
place (such as Gravity Forms).

Thanks for the Zen Dash Plugin Jay. Very good example of KISS functionality. I only
wish that it would also take care of some the pesky plugin notifications that remind
me to renew my subscriptions.
