AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP Dash Message is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Aleksandar Arsovski — established developer track record
Cons
- −Limited review base (2) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

How WP Dash Message works
Show full descriptionShow less
The plugin allows the user to write a message for a new widget box that appears at the top of the dashboard.
This can be accomplished on both a site and network level. The site level options are available on the site’s
dashboard settings tab called “Dashboard Message”, while the network level options are found on the Network
Settings tab on the Network Admin dashboard. Network level messages are displayed after site level messages
in the message box.
The header of the dashboard box/widget is “Welcome, (user’s display name goes here)” by default.
1.0.2 UPDATE: The dashboard message now appears on the global dashboard as well. Pushed out network level entry field bug fixes as well.
1.1.0 UPDATE: The plugin now also enables you to REMOVE any dashboard widgets you wish to from any of the dashboards. This means that you can disable network, site, and global dashboard widgets.
Network and global (the dashboard new users without a blog/site typically see) dashboard widgets can be removed through the “Network Settings” page (Network Dashboard -> Settings -> Network Settings).
Site dashboard widgets can be removed from both the “Network Settings” page and from the “Dashboard Message” settings page (Dashboard -> Settings -> Dashboard Message). PLEASE NOTE that if a site dashboard widget is disabled through the network settings, site admins will not be able to re-enable it through the “Dashboard Message” settings page.
1.1.1 UPDATE: Optimization.
1.1.2 UPDATE: Small bug fix.
GOALS FOR FUTURE UPDATES:
Colour options would be great to add for a customized look.
Please NOTE: Some users may not have the Welcome box appear at the top of the Dashboard. This usually happens
if the user has rearranged the boxes on the Dashboard previously.
