- Selective hiding is off until you choose exactly which notices to suppress.

- Presets help you choose Beginner Mode, Client Site Mode, Clean Admin Mode, or Custom Settings.

Frequently asked questions
Does DashClean store captured admin notices in the database?
DashClean handles notice markup in request/runtime flow. It only stores compact hidden-notice metadata for the inbox, not raw notice HTML.
Does DashClean require setup after activation?
No. DashClean works immediately with recommended defaults. Beginners can activate it and leave the settings unchanged.
What setup preset should I choose?
Choose Beginner Mode for most sites, Client Site Mode for freelancer or agency client dashboards, Clean Admin Mode for your own workspace, or Custom Settings when you want full manual control.
Can DashClean disable admin notices or hide dashboard notifications?
Yes. DashClean can hide selected admin notices and dashboard notifications using selective suppression rules. It is designed to avoid hiding important save and update workflows by default.
Should beginners enable selective notice suppression?
Only when needed. Leave it off at first, then add rules for specific notices you recognize and want to hide.
Can I hide the default Welcome panel?
Yes. Enable Hide Welcome Panel on Dashboard in settings.
Does DashClean hide WordPress update notices by default?
