About Dash Broom
From the official readme · v0.12.1Description
Dash Broom keeps wp-admin tidy. Hide or toggle core and popular plugin notices with one click, grouped by type with count badges. Preferences are saved per user, so each admin can choose what to sweep away.
What it hides/toggles
– Core: Error, Warning, Success, Info
– Plugin notices: WooCommerce, Elementor, Yoast, Jetpack
– WordPress Welcome Panel
– “Other” (misc. .notice elements we auto-classify)
Highlights
– One-click badges per type (show counts; click to slide open/closed)
– Per-user saved settings (no code)
– Early CSS prevents “flash” of notices before JS runs
– Respects page layout: only targets notices in the main admin content
Use cases
– Hide admin nags during client demos
– Keep stores (WooCommerce) and builders (Elementor/Yoast/Jetpack) quiet
– Focus on what matters, then reveal notices when needed
Accessibility
– Keyboard-operable toggles and ARIA attributes for the settings panel
