This plugin does two things to your dashboard:
<ul>
<li>The WordPress News and Other WordPress News sections are removed. You don’t even load them. Why? So you won’t have to bother 
with the AJAX call for the news. Also, it looks neater.</li>
<li>The sidebar (with incoming links, recent posts, etc.) is made more horizontal, with four columns instead of the default one. 
This makes it so you can see all the information at one glance, rather than having to scroll down.</li>
</ul>

Cleaner Dashboard

Removes the WordPress news sections and reorganizes the sidebar for maximum screen usage. See the screenshots for more details.

Digital Lychee

Your WordPress dashboard shouldn’t feel like Times Square.
Dashboard Detox removes the noise — stopping marketing messages, “rate this plugin” nags, upgrade prompts, sales banners, Black Friday ads, and countless popup notices that keep interrupting your workflow.
It works automatically, with no setup needed, and includes a lightweight optional settings page for power users.
Perfect for developers, agencies, and anyone who wants wp-admin to stay clean and distraction-free.
