This plugin helps administrators bring order to overcrowded WordPress dashboards by grouping widgets into separate dashboard pages. 
Each user can have their own layout, with pages and widgets organized according to their needs.
It is primarily intended for developers who need to build a large number of reports (tables, charts, etc.) for their 
clients-reports that are important for their business. While it is often useful to display previews of these reports on 
the dashboard, rendering all of them at once can negatively impact performance.
To address this, the plugin provides an abstract class that developers can extend and register according to the documentation. 
Each widget defines its own render function and can either render content immediately or load it asynchronously with 
a built-in loader. This behavior is handled directly by the abstract class.
From the user’s perspective, this plugin solves a long-standing limitation of WordPress: administrators often need to visit 
multiple pages to understand what’s new, what requires immediate attention, what can wait, and what remains unfinished. 
While WordPress does provide some indicators (such as notification badges), 
these are limited and do not cover many real-world use cases.
For example, this plugin includes widgets that display WooCommerce orders on hold or products in draft status. 
These help users quickly understand where they left off and what needs attention immediately after logging in.
In practice, this allows administrators to organize their dashboard into meaningful sections such as 
“What’s New”, “To Do”, or “System”. 
Upon login, they can first see the most important reports (new orders, comments, etc.), 
then move on to less critical items (such as content in progress), and finally review system-related information.
Another key improvement is performance. 
By default, hiding widgets via “Screen Options” only applies <code>display: none</code>, while the PHP code that generates their 
content still executes. Widgets hidden using this plugin are not executed at all.
This grouping mechanism ensures that only visible widgets are processed, significantly improving overall page load time.
=Quick Start=
After activating the plugin, go to the Dashboard. 
You will notice that existing widgets are removed and the dashboard title is replaced with a dropdown selector.
Click the “Unlock Dashboard” button in the top menu. 
This will reveal the “+ New Widget” button. 
Click it and select any available widget from the list to add it to the current dashboard page. 
You can add as many widgets as you need in this way.
To create additional dashboard pages, click on the dashboard title dropdown and select “+ New Dashboard”. 
Enter a name for the new page and confirm. 
You can now organize widgets across multiple dashboard pages as needed.
=Compatibility=
There are many popular plugins that add additional widgets to the admin dashboard. 
Most of them are simply informational HTML, but some use nasty approaches to fetch content by triggering AJAX requests, 
which can cause compatibility issues with this plugin.
Currently, compatibility has been confirmed with: WooCommerce, Wordfence, MonsterInsights, Yoast, WP Mail SMTP, and Elementor. 
We are aware of issues with: AIOSEO.
=Developers information=
To create your own widget, refer to the included widgets as examples. All of them extend the base abstract class, and your custom widgets should do the same within your own namespace.
Make sure that widget IDs are prefixed with your namespace.
If your widget contains heavy logic, you can defer its execution by setting:
<pre><code>$deferred = true;
</code></pre>
This will load the widget asynchronously. See the built-in <code>HostingInfo</code> class for a reference implementation.
To register your widget, you can:
<ul>
<li>
Call: 
 \Tekod\ADWMAN\Dashboard\Widgets::registerWidget(…);
</li>
<li>
Or use the filter: 
 tekod-adwman-custom-widgets
</li>
</ul>
Both methods expect the fully qualified class name.

Alpaca Issue Tracker is a powerful yet simple issue tracking system that lives inside your WordPress admin. Built with the WordPress philosophy in mind, it provides a Trello-like kanban board interface for managing bugs, feature requests, and project tasks.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Kanban Board Interface – Drag-and-drop issues between and within fully customizable status columns</li>
<li>Automatic Context Capture – Browser info, page context, and technical details are saved with each bug report submitted from the front end</li>
<li>Built for WordPress – Uses native WordPress components, post types, taxonomies and database tables</li>
<li>Extensibility – Developers can add custom functions and integrations via conventional WordPress actions & filters</li>
<li>Respects User Permissions – Integrates with WordPress user roles and capabilities</li>
<li>Screenshot Capture – See exactly what the user saw, captured and processed locally within the browser</li>
<li>Comment and Activity Thread – A unified view of each issue’s progress, supporting attachment uploads and user mentions</li>
<li>Priority Management – Flag high-priority items and set deadlines</li>
<li>Assignee System – Assign issues and checklist items to team members</li>
<li>Email Notifications – Instant or daily digest email notifications for the issues you care about</li>
<li>Translation Ready – Fully localized and ready for translation into any language (including RTL support)</li>
<li>No Artificial Limitations – Use on as many sites, with as many users, issues, attachments and interactions as you need</li>
</ul>
<h4>Perfect For</h4>
<ul>
<li>Freelance developers managing client sites</li>
<li>Small agencies tracking bugs and feature requests</li>
<li>Development teams needing lightweight project management</li>
<li>Clients performing QA on a new site</li>
<li>Account managers responsible for rolling retainer contracts</li>
<li>Enterprises and government bodies needing extra reassurance on hosting</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
Clients don’t have the time or knowledge to provide detailed technical reports when they spot a problem. But developers can’t do their job without that detail. Alpaca Issue Tracker solves this by automatically capturing all the technical context WordPress already knows about each page request.
When a user reports an issue via the Alpaca Issue Tracker front-end toolbar, the plugin silently captures: 
– A screenshot of what the user can see 
– Browser and device information 
– Current page URL and template 
– Queried object details and HTTP headers 
– Any JavaScript errors
This gives developers everything they need to reproduce and fix issues quickly, with zero burden on the client.
Issues can also be created on the admin side, meaning Alpaca Issue Tracker can also be used as a complete project management system, to plan new features or track internal tasks.
