About this plugin
JokeShogun – Random Jokes in Admin Dashboard is a lightweight, fun plugin that displays a random joke at the top of your WordPress admin area on every refresh. Designed to keep the workspace fun without being intrusive, it comes with a dedicated settings page to customize where and how the jokes appear.
Jokes are loaded from a clean, separate jokes.php file, making it incredibly fast and easy to maintain or expand your joke collection.
Features
- Customizable Locations: Choose exactly which admin pages (Dashboard, Posts, Settings, etc.) display the jokes.
- Visual Styling: Select from WordPress’s native notice colors (Blue, Green, Yellow, Red) to match your vibe.
- Custom Prefix: Change the default “Joke of the Moment:” text to anything you like, or remove it entirely.
- Per-User Opt-Out: Respects individual preferences! Any user can disable jokes for their own account via their User Profile page.
- Developer Friendly: Jokes are cleanly separated into a
jokes.phpfile, ensuring lightning-fast performance.
