The 2.5 release dramatically changed the layout of the WordPress Dashboard. 
This plugin implements an admin theme which results in the Dashboard looking 
similar (but not exactly) to how it looked prior to the 2.5 release. This is 
implemented using CSS declarations which take precedence over those shipped 
with WordPress.
This plugin also supports Andy Staines’ <a href="http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/admin-drop-down-menus/" title="Advanced Admin Menus" rel="nofollow ugc">Advanced Admin Menus</a> and similarly 
employs CSS declarations which take precendence over those shipped with the 
plugin. The result is Advanced Admin Menus which look closer to those shipped 
in Andy’s pre-2.5 plugin. The required “click” to activate a menu remains.
This plugin has been tested (but not exhaustively) with IE7, Firefox 2.x, 
Apple’s Safari all running on the Windows platform. No other testing has 
been performed. I personally use IE most of the time but that is largely 
due to some thing I use at work which require IE.

I got the idea to do this after looking at the 
<a href="http://deanjrobinson.com/projects/fluency-admin/" title="Fluency Admin There" rel="nofollow ugc">Fluency Admin Theme</a>, 
which doesn’t support IE or I probably would have used it, and the 
<a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/baltic-amber-admin-themes-and-schemes/" title="Baltic Amber">Baltic Amber</a> theme. 
Fluency redesigns the Dashboard and Baltic Amber offers multiple color choices 
for the Dashboard. After seeing how Baltic Amber loaded, I realized I 
could do something similar for the CSS declarations I wanted to change. 
It was surprisingly easy.

Some of WP Dev Dashboard’s features are being ported over to the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2016/07/12/plugin-directory-v3-open-beta/" rel="nofollow ugc">v3 WordPress plugin directory</a>!

WP Dev Dashboard takes improves upon the default plugin/theme interfaces for authors, and allows you to easily:
<ol>
<li>View and respond to all of your unresolved plugin & theme support requests.</li>
<li>View useful statistics for all of your plugins & themes.</li>
</ol>
The default wordpress.org plugin/theme author dashboards can be difficult to parse, particularly if you have authored numerous plugins and/or themes that generate a large number of support requests. This plugin allows you to easily view and respond to your unresolved plugin and theme support requests in a simple, easy-to-use interface. Additionally, you can view all of your plugin/theme statistics (version, WP compatibility, downloads, ratings, etc) in a sortable table that makes side-by-side comparison a cinch.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Displays plugin and theme support requests in sortable, collapsible metaboxes for ease of use.</li>
<li>Displays all plugins and themes in a sortable, easy-to-parse table.</li>
<li>Select which plugins and themes to show by username and/or slug.</li>
<li>Choose whether to show all support tickets, or just unresolved ones.</li>
<li>Implements caching to reduce load time for plugin and theme support ticket information.</li>
<li>Includes cache-busting “refresh” option to force refresh plugin and theme support ticket data.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Coming soon. . .</h4>
WP Dev Dashboard is intended to be the go-to resource for WordPress plugin and theme authors looking for a better management experience. The below list includes additional features for future development, features that are intended to make WordPress developers’ lives as easy as possible. If you have an idea for a feature you’d like to see, please submit it via the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-dev-dashboard" rel="ugc">support forum</a>.
<ul>
<li>Import unresolved Github issues as well as standard wordpress.org forum tickets.</li>

WP Dev Dashboard

I have been feeling the need for something that will help me keep track of my WordPress.org items from one panel. Now we got something that works. Wow!



At last something that works

This is a kind of dashboard/service WordPress developers need, WordPress support forum + plugin repository sucks.
Is it going to evolve?
Which new features are you planning?
Anyway, 5 stars!



Worderful Idea

Great plugin, hopefully something similar gets added in V3 of the repository this June. There are 3 things that would help to make it more useful:
- a cut off date for support threads, so that you could pull say just ones that are unresolved in the last week
- threads marked as "not a support question" not coming up in the unresolved list
- the ability to hide certain unresolved issues, so that ones you know you won't answer stop appearing in the list
I imagine the last one would be more challenging.
Thanks again for a really useful dev plugin.



Love this plugin!

This plugin is great I should really give it 5 stars but it takes up a top level menu items when is unnecessary and bad practice.
Otherwise completely brilliant



Almost perfect

The better tool for monitoring your plugins & themes, including support requests, download stats, version support, and more.
