WordPress 3.3 introduced a new welcome panel designed to provide a better experience for new users installing WordPress for the first time. The panel would normally be shown to new owners of sites in a network, but this may not be desirable for all networks. This plugin dismisses the panel for new sites and users.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin applies only to multisite, and must be network activated.<\/p>\n\n\n

For an automatic installation through WordPress:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Go to the 'Add New' plugins screen in your WordPress network admin area<\/li>\n
  2. Search for 'Hide Welcome Panel for Multisite'<\/li>\n
  3. Click 'Install Now' and network activate the plugin<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    For a manual installation via FTP:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Upload the hide-welcome-panel-for-multisite<\/code> directory to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
    2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in your WordPress network admin area<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      To upload the plugin through WordPress, instead of FTP:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      1. Upload the downloaded zip file on the 'Add New' plugins screen (see the 'Upload' tab) in your WordPress network admin area and network activate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
        When does the welcome panel normally show?<\/dt>\n

        The welcome panel shows for the initial user when WordPress is installed.<\/p>\n\n

        For multisite, the welcome panel shows for owners of new sites. WordPress uses the following rules:<\/p>\n\n

          \n
        1. On site creation, a flag is set for the user to show the welcome panel the next time they visit a site they own, as long as they've never seen the welcome panel before.<\/li>\n
        2. Once the user dismisses the panel on one site, it is dismissed on all sites they own, and they will not see it on new sites.<\/li>\n
        3. An owner is determined by comparing the site's admin email to the user's email.<\/li>\n
        4. The panel is still accessible via the Screen Options tab.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/dd>\n
          Does this retroactively hide the welcome panel for sites created before the plugin was installed?<\/dt>\n

          Yes. It is assumed that if you're installing this plugin, you don't want any site owners to be presented with the welcome panel, regardless when the site was created.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
