Plugins / Pantry Handover

Leave the client a guide where they will see it. A dashboard panel and a Site Guide page with your notes, the links they need and how to reach you. Tidy away the default dashboard boxes. Export the guide and import it on the next site.

Compared with the popular plugins

The Pantry Handover settings screen in the WordPress admin, at Plugin Pantry > Handover and Dashboard > Site Guide.

What it does

  • Dashboard widget and a Site Guide admin page, both with a title you choose
  • Notes written in the WordPress editor with standard formatting allowed
  • A list of links with labels
  • Support block: company name, email, phone, hours, website
  • Choose which roles see the guide; only administrators can edit it
  • Switches to hide the default dashboard boxes: welcome panel, quick draft, activity, events and news, site health
  • Export the guide as JSON and import it on another site

What it does not do

  • No white-labelling of WordPress
  • No hiding of plugins or menus
  • No ticketing or chat

Documentation

Read the documentation

Every setting on the Pantry Handover screen and what each one does, with the hooks it publishes: the same text that ships in the plugin README.

Pro add-on (planned)

See Pantry Pro pricing
  • White-label admin: rename, custom login, admin colours
  • Different guides per role
  • Sync guides across sites

Planned for a later Pantry Pro release. Nothing in the free plugin waits on it, and a licence bought today covers it the day it ships, since one key covers every module.
