78 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With roughly 20,000 active installs it sits in a comfortable niche, far behind mega addons but well above hobby plugins in its category.

Update Freshness

25/25

A perfect maintenance score reflects very recent updates and clear version requirements, showing the developer is actively keeping pace with WordPress 7.0.

User Rating

12/15

An 82 out of 100 from 23 reviewers is positive but based on a small sample, so it should be read as cautiously favourable rather than proven.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved is a red flag, since it can simply mean nobody is asking questions or nobody is answering them.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Full marks for compatibility thanks to up-to-date WordPress 7.0 testing, a 6.3 minimum, and a modern PHP 7.4 baseline.

What It Does

Dashboard Welcome for Elementor replaces the standard WordPress dashboard welcome panel with a custom Elementor template of your own design. It lets administrators design a branded landing area using the familiar Elementor builder, then assigns it to replace the default panel shown to logged-in users. The effect is a client-facing or team-facing dashboard that matches the rest of the site's visual identity.

Who It's For

This plugin fits agencies, freelancers, and studios who hand off WordPress sites to non-technical clients and want the dashboard to feel like a branded portal rather than a generic WordPress admin. It is also useful for multisite networks and white-label operations where every login screen needs to reinforce the agency's branding.

Who Should Skip It

If you are a solo blogger or a small site owner who never logs in with anyone else, or if you do not already build with Elementor, this plugin adds no value. Anyone who only needs to tweak the admin colour scheme should look at lighter admin customisation plugins instead.

The Bottom Line

Dashboard Welcome for Elementor is a focused, well maintained plugin that solves one specific problem: branding the WordPress dashboard using Elementor. With only 23 ratings and zero support traffic, the long-term community signal is thin, so test it on a staging site before deploying on client builds. If you need anything beyond a branded welcome panel, the larger Elementor addon suites listed above will give you more for your money.
