Panelra transforms the default WordPress dashboard into a modern visual workspace.

Instead of forcing users into the classic cluttered WordPress admin experience, Panelra lets you build — or instantly apply — beautiful custom dashboard templates designed for clients, teams, agencies, and businesses.

🎥 Watch the full Panelra tutorial:

New in Panelra 2.2 — Optional Folderra Content Analytics

Add Top Pages and Top Posts blocks to your custom Panelra dashboard to see the most viewed content on your site.

Filter each block independently by today, the last 7 or 30 days, the last year, or all time.
Open individual pages and posts directly from the dashboard.
Data is collected by the separate, free Folderra plugin; no Google account is needed.
Folderra is optional: Panelra works normally without it, and existing blocks remain saved if it is deactivated.
When Folderra is unavailable, configured blocks are hidden on the dashboard without being deleted; the Dashboard Builder shows a contextual warning and an optional setup link for authorized administrators.

The figures represent Folderra’s local view counts and may differ from Google Analytics statistics.
