how to remove the dashboard? (or go directly to other page)

  • It’s annoying that everytime I login, I have to wait for a while for it to load the content of the dashboard (and sometime when WordPress is a little busy, it like waiting forever!). Is there any way to remove the dashboard from the admin interface? Or is there anyway to go directly to the “Write” section after logging in instead of Dashboard?

    The Dashboard in my opinion is not useful because everyone who use WordPress 1.5 will frequently check www.remarpro.com for new update.

  • Well, that’s a cookie function I’ve no doubt. I’m not much good on cookies, you’ll have to wait for someone else or do some research on the ‘net….

    Thanks for that vkaryl – that helps quite a bit. I will see what I can do…

    Good luck, and report back, okay? Might help out the next guy who wants something similar….

    Damn shame there isn’t a user level dashboard and an admin level like most control panels. I’m kind of stumped on what the point of users registering is. Simply for posting is great but it seems silly to have a whole profile and confusing dashboard page on login just for that…

    Cross your fingers on the next version unless somebody knows something I don’t. Post if you do.

    I guess I’ll just try and edit the dashboard page to be more user friendly because honestly as admin I could care less. Any tips on how to edit this page?

    Whack all the rss stuff to start with.

    My solution to this problem involves the use of a simple plugin and a modification the the .htaccess file. No core code needs to be touched:

    The Plugin
    ————-
    <?php
    /*
    Plugin Name: AdminLinkRemoval
    Plugin URI: NULL
    Description: Removes specified links from the admin panel
    Version: 1.0
    Author: Michael Fields
    Author URI: https://www.mfields.org/
    */
    add_action('admin_menu','mf_delete_links');

    function mf_delete_links(){
    global $menu;
    unset($menu[0]); // Dashboard
    }
    ?>

    The .htaccess
    ——————
    We’ll assume that your domain is “test.com”
    and you installed wordpress in a directory called “blog”
    and that the .htaccess file is stored in the “blog” directory


    RewriteEngine On
    RedirectMatch permanent ^/blog/wp-admin/index.php$ https://test.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php

    Note: There should only be two lines in the htaccess, the text might be wrapped.
