User Rating

15/15

All 8 ratings gave it a perfect 100, which is impressive but reflects a very small sample that could shift quickly with more reviews.

Support Health

8/15

Only one support thread exists and it remains unresolved, so real response performance is essentially unproven despite the neutral score.

It supports WordPress 4.0 through the tested 7.0 range with PHP 5.6 as the minimum, covering a very wide install base.

What It Does

Dashboard To-Do List adds a simple to-do widget to the WordPress admin dashboard so site owners and contributors can track tasks without leaving wp-admin. It also offers an optional floating panel overlay on the front end of the site, making personal task notes visible while browsing the public pages. There is no team assignment, commenting, or due-date workflow beyond a basic checklist.

Who It's For

This fits solo site owners, freelancers, and small creators who want a lightweight personal task list tied to their WordPress dashboard rather than a full project management tool. It is also useful for anyone who wants a sticky reminder panel visible while previewing front-end pages. Teams that need collaboration, file attachments, or status tracking should look elsewhere.

Who Should Skip It

Agencies or groups that need multi-user assignments, shared task boards, or integrations with project tools will find this too basic for real coordination. It is not a Trello, Asana, or ClickUp replacement, and users expecting that scope will be disappointed.

The Bottom Line

Dashboard To-Do List is a tidy, well-maintained widget that does one narrow job reasonably well, scoring 75.93 on PluginCheck. It is best treated as a personal sticky note rather than a team tool, and the unresolved support thread means you should not rely on fast help if something breaks.
