Title: Display Question Last modified: March 11, 2026 --- # Display Question * [one3rdnerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/one3rdnerd/) * (@one3rdnerd) * [3 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-question-3/) * I’m not sure when this happened but I have noticed it before, but when I assign the custom dashboard to a specific user role, then create a user with that role, the actual assigned dashboard doesn’t display. * I have one site where the original user I created with the same role does see it, but the newer user doesn’t. * I fixed this by having Claude Code write me a custom snippet, but maybe something needs to updated in the core plugin? * This is what I used * ```wp-block-code /** * Force Beaver Builder Dashboard Template * * Add as a custom snippet (via WPCodeBox, Code Snippets plugin, or functions.php). * Reads the template already configured in the Dashboard Welcome for Beaver Builder * plugin settings screen, then forces it to display — bypassing the plugin's * role-checking and dismissal logic that can cause it to fail for some users. * * No configuration needed — it auto-detects the template from the plugin's settings. * Optionally restrict to specific user IDs or roles below. */// ── Optional Configuration ─────────────────────────────────────────────────// Set to true to force for ALL users, or false to use the whitelist below.define( 'FORCE_BB_DASHBOARD_ALL_USERS', true );// If ALL_USERS is false, only these user IDs will see it.// Example: array( 5 ) or array( 5, 12, 23 )define( 'FORCE_BB_DASHBOARD_USER_IDS', serialize( array() ) );// If ALL_USERS is false, these roles will also see it (checks all user roles, not just first).// Example: array( 'editor', 'subscriber' )define( 'FORCE_BB_DASHBOARD_ROLES', serialize( array() ) );// ── End Configuration ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────add_action( 'admin_init', 'force_bb_dashboard_init', 1 );function force_bb_dashboard_init() { global $pagenow; if ( 'index.php' !== $pagenow ) { return; } if ( ! force_bb_dashboard_user_qualifies() ) { return; } // Resolve the template slug from the plugin's saved settings. $slug = force_bb_dashboard_get_template_slug(); if ( ! $slug ) { return; } // Store it for the render function. $GLOBALS['force_bb_dashboard_slug'] = $slug; // Force the welcome panel to be visible (resets any previous dismissal). $user_id = get_current_user_id(); if ( '1' !== get_user_meta( $user_id, 'show_welcome_panel', true ) ) { update_user_meta( $user_id, 'show_welcome_panel', 1 ); } // Remove the default welcome panel and any existing plugin panel. remove_action( 'welcome_panel', 'wp_welcome_panel' ); // Hook our forced template display. if ( current_user_can( 'edit_theme_options' ) ) { add_action( 'welcome_panel', 'force_bb_dashboard_render' ); } else { add_action( 'admin_notices', 'force_bb_dashboard_render_notice' ); } // Prevent dismissal. add_action( 'admin_head-index.php', 'force_bb_dashboard_prevent_dismiss' ); add_filter( 'get_user_metadata', 'force_bb_dashboard_force_show_meta', 10, 4 );}/** * Pull the template slug from the Dashboard Welcome plugin's settings. * Checks all of the user's roles (not just the first) to find a match. * Falls back to any configured template if no role-specific match is found. */function force_bb_dashboard_get_template_slug() { $templates = get_option( 'bbpd_template' ); if ( ! is_array( $templates ) || empty( $templates ) ) { return false; } $user = wp_get_current_user(); $roles = (array) $user->roles; // Check ALL of the user's roles for a configured template. foreach ( $roles as $role ) { if ( isset( $templates[ $role ] ) && 'none' !== $templates[ $role ] && ! empty( $templates[ $role ] ) ) { return $templates[ $role ]; } } // Fallback: use the first non-empty template from settings (any role). foreach ( $templates as $role => $slug ) { if ( 'none' !== $slug && ! empty( $slug ) ) { return $slug; } } return false;}/** * Check whether the current user qualifies. */function force_bb_dashboard_user_qualifies() { if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { return false; } if ( FORCE_BB_DASHBOARD_ALL_USERS ) { return true; } $user = wp_get_current_user(); $user_id = $user->ID; $allowed_ids = unserialize( FORCE_BB_DASHBOARD_USER_IDS ); if ( ! empty( $allowed_ids ) && in_array( $user_id, $allowed_ids, true ) ) { return true; } $allowed_roles = unserialize( FORCE_BB_DASHBOARD_ROLES ); if ( ! empty( $allowed_roles ) ) { foreach ( $allowed_roles as $role ) { if ( in_array( $role, $user->roles, true ) ) { return true; } } } return false;}/** * Force show_welcome_panel meta to always return 1. */function force_bb_dashboard_force_show_meta( $value, $object_id, $meta_key, $single ) { if ( 'show_welcome_panel' === $meta_key && force_bb_dashboard_user_qualifies() ) { return $single ?
