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.php` file, ensuring lightning-fast performance. ## Screenshots [⌊A joke displayed natively in the WordPress admin dashboard.⌉⌊A joke displayed natively in the WordPress admin dashboard.⌉[ A joke displayed natively in the WordPress admin dashboard.
