<p>WordPress 3.3 introduced a new welcome panel designed to provide a better experience for new users installing WordPress for the first time. The panel would normally be shown to new owners of sites in a network, but this may not be desirable for all networks. This plugin dismisses the panel for new sites and users.</p>
<p>This plugin applies only to multisite, and must be network activated.</p>


Hide Welcome Panel for Multisite

Prevent users from seeing the welcome panel (added in WordPress 3.3) on new sites in a network.

<h4>Tips</h4>
<p>A neat trick, is to put this single file dismiss-welcome-nag.php (not its parent directory) in the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory (create it if not exists) so you won’t even have to enable it, and will be loaded by default, also, since first step installation of WordPress setup!</p>
<h4>Explanation</h4>
<p>This, is different from the other similar plugins, because uses the filter hook, and not the action hook. Filters should filter information, thus receiving information/data, applying the filter and returning information/data, and then used. However, filters are still action hooks. WordPress defines add_filter/remove_filter as “hooks a function to a specific filter action”, and add_action/remove_action as “hooks a function on to a specific action”.</p>
