Overview
Nativus Dashboard improves the WordPress admin experience with customizable dashboard widgets, plugin visibility controls, user permission tools, admin notice controls, and debugging workflows for site owners and agencies. Ships with five pre-built colour schemes (Default, Dark, Green, Purple, Orange), full custom colour pickers for sidebar, topbar and accent surfaces, branding controls (custom logos, titles, descriptions), a WooCommerce Chart.js reporting widget (locally bundled, no CDN), granular role-based plugin visibility so each user or role only sees the plugins they need, a master admin-nag removal switch with selective notice controls, conditional logging that keeps production logs clean by default, and a Google PageSpeed Insights integration dashboard widget.

Deep Dive
Custom Colour Pickers
Individual pickers for Sidebar Background, Topbar Background, Dropdown/Submenu, and Accent colours — all applied via dynamically computed CSS variables without page reload.
Admin Nag Removal
Single master toggle controls all admin notices. Selectively choose which notice types to suppress — with a built-in test notice system to verify the functionality before going live.
WooCommerce Reporting
Chart.js is bundled locally — no CDN. Revenue and order charts load with skeleton shimmer animations and expose a visual overall-impact meter.
Conditional Logging
Production mode keeps error logs clean by default. Enable debug mode for complete diagnostic visibility. Smart toggle prevents log spam in live environments.
How It Works
Activate & launch onboarding
On first activation, Nativus shows a lightweight onboarding flow to set your colour scheme and branding in under 2 minutes.
Choose a colour scheme
Pick from Default, Dark, Green, Purple, or Orange. Or go fully custom — separate pickers for sidebar, topbar, submenu, and accent surfaces.
Configure plugin visibility
In Plugin Management, assign visibility rules per user or role. Each user only sees the plugins you allow — reducing confusion for clients and non-technical admins.
Enable performance widgets
Add your Google PageSpeed API key to get a Lighthouse score widget on the dashboard. WooCommerce stores automatically get Chart.js revenue and order widgets.
