Add a Support Info Widget in WordPress Dashboard (No Plugin Needed)

Sometimes your clients need quick access to support — like an email or contact link — directly from their WordPress dashboard.

Instead of telling them “just contact me,” why not add a support info widget that appears every time they log into the admin area?

With a few lines of PHP, you can make their experience smoother — and your job easier. 🚀

💻 The Code to Add a Support Info Widget

Here’s a simple code snippet you can use 👇

<?php
// ✅ WordPress Admin Dashboard এ Support Info Widget
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', function() {
    wp_add_dashboard_widget(
        'support_info_widget',
        __('Support Info', 'your-textdomain'),
        function() {
            echo '
            <style>
