## ವಿವರಣೆ

#### Reclaim your admin dashboard: Get rid of annoying banners, unwanted ads and other nuisances.

Dashboard Cleaner allows you to hide any HTML elements from your admin dashboard
such as annoying banners, unwanted ads and other nuisances, and basically anything
else you want. It works like a DOM inspector: simply point and click on the HTML
element you want to hide, select a few options and it’s gone!

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 3.3+
 * PHP 5.3+

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * Start Dashboard Cleaner from its Toolbar menu.
 * [[
 * Point and click on the HTML element you want to hide.
 * [[
 * Select the attribute name/value to filter and click “Create a Filter”.
 * [[
 * It’s gone!

## Installation

 1. Upload the `dashboard-cleaner` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ page in WordPress.
 3. Plugin settings are located in the ‘Tools > Dashboard Cleaner’ sub-menu.

## FAQ

### Where does Dashboard Cleaner store its data?

Its settings are saved to the database, but the filters are saved to a file named`
dhcl_xxxxx.filter` and located inside the `/wp-content/uploads/dashboard-cleaner/`
folder (single installation) or the `/wp-content/uploads/sites/X/dashboard-cleaner/`
folders (multisite installation). Removing or renaming that file will simply delete
your filters without affecting Dashboad Cleaner settings.

### What is the difference between hiding an element and making it invisible?

Hiding will remove the element and the space it occupies; making it invisible will
mask the element but will keep the space it occupies. Hiding the element is the 
preferrered method but in a few cases, it can wrongly alter the whole page layout.

### Shall the filter be based on the exact attribute value, or can it be shortened (i.e., partial match)?

Partial match is accepted but whatever value you enter, it must start and end on
a word boundary (as opposed to a substring). For more details about this, see the
contextual _Help_ tab in Dashboard Cleaner Settings page.

### Are field values case sensitive?

The attribute value is case-sensitive, the HTML element and attribute names aren’t.

### Will it slow down my site?

Dashboard Cleaner runs only in the back-end section (admin dashboard) not the front-
end, hence it won’t affect your visitors.

Lets you describe each filter to make them easy to find. Would have been nice to
be able to disable individual filters to be able to interact with info banners when
necessary, but that is a minor want. Simply disable the entire plugin when needed
and reenable it once done.

I’ve been writing routines to try and clean the dashboard but this is far easier
and lightweight. I love how you are just able to click and point to the element 
you want hidden, worked like a charm with WordPress 4.9.8
