Welcome to your WordPress Dashboard!

The Dashboard is the first place you will come to every time you log into your site. It is where you will find all your WordPress tools. If you need help, just click the “Help” tab above the screen title.

You can use the following controls to arrange your Dashboard screen to suit your workflow. This is true on most other administration screens as well.

Screen Options — Use the Screen Options tab to choose which Dashboard boxes to show.

Drag and Drop — To rearrange the boxes, drag and drop by clicking on the title bar of the selected box and releasing when you see a gray dotted-line rectangle appear in the location you want to place the box.

Box Controls — Click the title bar of the box to expand or collapse it. Some boxes added by plugins may have configurable content, and will show a “Configure” link in the title bar if you hover over it.

The boxes on your Dashboard screen are:

Welcome — Shows links for some of the most common tasks when setting up a new site.

Site Health Status — Informs you of any potential issues that should be addressed to improve the performance or security of your website.

At a Glance — Displays a summary of the content on your site and identifies which theme and version of WordPress you are using.

Activity — Shows the upcoming scheduled posts, recently published posts, and the most recent comments on your posts and allows you to moderate them.

Quick Draft — Allows you to create a new post and save it as a draft. Also displays links to the 3 most recent draft posts you've started.

WordPress Events and News — Upcoming events near you as well as the latest news from the official WordPress project and the WordPress Planet.

Screen elements

Some screen elements can be shown or hidden by using the checkboxes. Expand or collapse the elements by clicking on their headings, and arrange them by dragging their headings or by clicking on the up and down arrows.
