Questions and troubleshooting
Is Clean Dashboard free?
No. It is part of WP Extended Pro.
Can I keep some widgets?
Yes. Choose the widgets to disable and leave the rest.
It isn’t working as expected
Check the module is switched on and its settings are saved. If another plugin does the same job, deactivate one of them. Then clear any page cache and test again. Still stuck? Pro customers can contact support; free users can post on the WordPress.org forum.
