The Dashboard
The Dashboard is the first screen you see after logging in to WordPress.
Coming soon
We are recording a new video for this one.
Before you finish
Not seeing your change?
Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).
If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.
Good to know
The Dashboard is the first screen you see after logging in to WordPress. It gives an overview of your site and holds the menu down the left side that leads to everything else in the admin area.
The boxes on the Dashboard come from WordPress itself and from plugins, so yours may look different from someone else's. Most can be hidden or rearranged through Screen Options at the top of the page, which helps if some of them only add clutter.
