Dashboard widgets use the same hooks every time

wp_dashboard_setup, widget ID, title, context placement, capability guard, and a render callback — not hard, but repetitive across plugins.

Zelvigo’s Dashboard Widgets Generator builds that scaffold so you drop in real content instead of rewriting registration code.

What you can generate

  • Widget ID — slug passed to wp_add_dashboard_widget()
  • Widget title — heading shown in the dashboard box
  • Context — normal (main column), side, column 3, or column 4
  • Capability — who can see the widget
  • Render callback — placeholder markup you replace with charts, counts, or links

  2. Set widget ID, title, context, and capability
  3. Click Generate and review the registration + render PHP
