FAQ

The dashboard widget is not displayed.

  • Check if the plugin is activated.
  • Check if your user has “Editor” or “Administrator” role. The widget displays system information that should not be available to users with lower privileges.
  • Make sure the “System overview” checkbox is checked in the “Screen Options” on the dashboard page.

Disk usage information is not updated.

  • This information is calculated when the plugin is activated and is further updated once a day by WP-Cron. So please check if WP-Cron is enabled and working on your system (there might be some issues with WP-Cron e.g. in the local development environment). Updating via WP-Cron is used for speed optimization (calculating the occupied space every time the widget is loaded would slow down the page loading).
