Divi Dashboard Welcome is a WordPress extension that allows developers to replace the standard WordPress welcome screen with custom layouts built using the Divi Builder. Used by agencies to brand client backends, it transforms the first page users see after logging in. This plugin effectively turns the admin dashboard into a personalized support hub or training center.
WPExclusive members get access to Divi Dashboard as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full Divi Life collection →
What Is Divi Dashboard Welcome?
Divi Dashboard Welcome is developed by Divi Life and is an administration plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the administration category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for client management and backend customization. The plugin is specifically designed to eliminate the generic “getting started” content that WordPress displays by default.
It solves the issue of unprofessional or confusing backend experiences for non-technical clients. It is primarily for freelancers and agencies who want to offer a white-labeled experience that includes tutorials, contact forms, or upsell opportunities.
Divi Dashboard Welcome Features
The feature set is built around deep integration with the Divi Builder to control the WordPress admin area.
Divi Builder Integration
Users can leverage the full power of the Divi Builder to create their dashboard content. This includes adding contact forms for support, embedding video walkthroughs, and using any Divi module to design the landing page. Because it uses the standard builder, any design possible on the front end can now be displayed inside the WordPress backend for various administration tasks.
Role-Based Dashboard Control
The plugin provides granular control over who sees which content. You can show the custom dashboard to all users or assign specific layouts to different WordPress user roles. This includes default roles like Editor or Author, as well as custom roles created by membership or ecommerce plugins, ensuring each user type sees relevant information.
Global Dashboard Management
Version 2.0 introduced the ability to create a global dashboard. This allows developers to set a single dashboard for all client sites and update the content remotely all at once. It significantly reduces maintenance time for agencies managing dozens of different WordPress installations from a central location.
Pre-made Layout Library
The plugin includes 26 professionally designed dashboard layouts that can be imported instantly. These layouts serve as starting points for building support portals, resource hubs, or welcome screens. This library jumpstarts the design process, allowing for quick deployment across multiple projects without starting from scratch.
