Retrieves a custom news feed and displays it in a widget on the admin dashboard
Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Dashboard Custom Feed version 1.1.1 as active, updated 12y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.9.
This plugin will allow you to specify a custom news feed to display in widget on the admin dashboard. This works in unison with the Dashboard Custom Feed Admin plugin which creates the feed.
This is mainly useful for notifying all your clients of something through their wordpress dashboard, whether that be a link to a new blog you’ve written or a notification asking everyone to upgrade their versions of wordpress. It’s really up to you what you show in there.
Not yet marked as tested with WordPress 7.1. WordPress.org currently lists Tested up to 3.9.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
No tracked version or compatibility changes have been recorded by WP PlugIndex yet.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
