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.

WP PlugIndex currently records DashLinx – Admin Dashboard Links Widget version 1.0.4 as active, updated 6mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.

Overview

About this plugin

DashLinx adds a simple, unobtrusive widget to the WordPress admin dashboard that allows administrators to store up to five frequently used links for quick access.

Links can be added by:

* Selecting existing Pages, Posts, or any public post type via autocomplete

* Pasting a full URL (external or internal)

When a raw URL is added, DashLinx attempts to retrieve the page title automatically.

Key Features

  • Admin dashboard widget
  • Supports Pages, Posts, and all public post types
  • External URLs supported
  • Automatic title detection for pasted URLs
  • Links can be deleted (editing is intentionally disabled)
  • Admin links open in the same tab
  • Frontend and external links open in a new tab
  • Accessible and WordPress-native UI (Dashicons, jQuery UI)

DashLinx is designed to be fast, minimal, and dependency-free, using only tools already bundled with WordPress core.
