Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview
About this plugin
A lightweight plugin to allows admins to create an admin dashboard widget with frequently accessed links for quick access.
I originally developed this plugin after spending hours creating client/user documentation for every WordPress project. Instead of writing step-by-step navigation documentation, I used this plugin to organise all necessary links on the single widget for non-technical users. As a developer, I also use this script myself to organise frequently accessed links for quick access.
Links format
Each link should be entered in a separate line in the following format
e. font awesome icon class is optional)
Link text|Button link|Button text|font-awesome icon class
Examples
php newtab|Post blog|fa fa-cog`
