Does this plugin require Elementor?

No! While Elementor is fully supported, you can use any page builder or the default WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg).

Can I show different pages to different user roles?

Yes! This is the core feature. You can assign a unique page to each user role.

Will this work with my theme?

Yes, the plugin embeds your page content in an iframe, so it works independently of your theme.

Is multisite supported?

Yes, full multisite support is included. You can even hide settings from subsites if needed.

Can users dismiss the welcome panel?

Yes, you can enable/disable the dismissible option for each user role individually.

Can I use Elementor or Bricks templates directly?

Yes! For Elementor and Bricks, you can select saved templates directly from the Template Library sections without creating a separate page.

What happens if I delete an assigned page?

The plugin automatically detects deleted pages and falls back to the default WordPress welcome panel. No broken dashboards!

Can I use draft or private pages?

Yes, you can use pages with any status (published, draft, or private). This is useful for creating welcome pages that won’t be indexed by search engines.
