Welcomify<\/strong> allows you to replace the default WordPress welcome panel with any page you create using your favorite page builder - Elementor, Gutenberg, Bricks, Divi, and more.<\/p>\n\n

  • Page Builder Compatible<\/strong> - Works with Elementor, Gutenberg, Bricks, Divi, Beaver Builder, Breakdance, and more<\/li>\n
  • Dismissible Option<\/strong> - Allow users to dismiss the welcome panel if desired<\/li>\n
  • Clean Embed<\/strong> - Pages are displayed cleanly without headers, footers, or sidebars<\/li>\n
  • Multisite Support<\/strong> - Full support for WordPress multisite networks<\/li>\n
  • Lightweight<\/strong> - No bloat, just the features you need<\/li>\n
  • Translation Ready<\/strong> - Fully internationalized and ready for translation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Use Cases<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    • Create a branded onboarding experience for new users<\/li>\n
    • Display important announcements to specific user roles<\/li>\n
    • Show quick-start guides for content creators<\/li>\n
    • Present analytics dashboards to administrators<\/li>\n
    • Welcome clients with custom messages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      How It Works<\/h4>\n\n
        \n
      1. Create any WordPress page using your preferred page builder<\/li>\n
      2. Click on Welcomify<\/strong> in the admin menu<\/li>\n
      3. Assign pages to each user role<\/li>\n
      4. Done! Users will see your custom page on their dashboard<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
        2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
        3. Go to Welcomify<\/strong> main menu to configure<\/li>\n
        4. Select a page created with any page builder and assign it to user roles<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n

          Does this plugin require Elementor?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No! While Elementor is fully supported, you can use any page builder or the default WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg).<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I show different pages to different user roles?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes! This is the core feature. You can assign a unique page to each user role.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Will this work with my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes, the plugin embeds your page content in an iframe, so it works independently of your theme.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Is multisite supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes, full multisite support is included. You can even hide settings from subsites if needed.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can users dismiss the welcome panel?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes, you can enable\/disable the dismissible option for each user role individually.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I use Elementor or Bricks templates directly?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes! For Elementor and Bricks, you can select saved templates directly from the Template Library sections without creating a separate page.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          What happens if I delete an assigned page?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          The plugin automatically detects deleted pages and falls back to the default WordPress welcome panel. No broken dashboards!<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I use draft or private pages?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes, you can use pages with any status (published, draft, or private). This is useful for creating welcome pages that won't be indexed by search engines.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
