How to change “Dashboard” text in wordpress

3 comments

1. Okay I’ve found a solution and it’s working fine 🙂

       function my_custom_dashboard_name(){
           if ( $GLOBALS['title'] != 'Dashboard' ){
               return;
           }
   
           $GLOBALS['title'] =  __( 'Your new Title' ); 
       }
   
       add_action( 'admin_head', 'my_custom_dashboard_name' );
   

   So this is pretty cool huh! GLOBAL['title'] returns page title and you can easily override that.

2. WordPress give Us possibility to change text by editing translation file.
   In my opinion it’s cleaner way

3. Your best bet is to use JavaScript or jQuery via a custom plugin (or your theme’s functions.php), since these things are hard-coded into the WordPress core. The following targets the Dashboard title itself:

   (function($) {
       $('#wpbody-content .wrap h2:eq(0)').html('NEW TITLE HERE');
   })(jQuery);
