Oktober 2025 Hello Dolly might be simple, but it’s iconic. Every time I open my WordPress dashboard and see a lyric from Louis Armstrong’s “Hello, Dolly!” it’s a small reminder of WordPress’s roots — creativity, simplicity, and a touch of joy. It doesn’t do much, and that’s the beauty of it. It’s a little piece of nostalgia that connects every WordPress user to the spirit of open-source community and fun. Thanks for keeping this classic alive! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/811fc71a630aad20e4f71307c7d21a1ef6ab8a019af98124aa620c1879c2c08c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[“Easy to install, worked perfectly.

August 2024 Even many people give a lot of hate to this plugin, they should not! This plugin is not something that it’s useful your site operations, but it’s a nice boilerplate for people that they want to start building plugins for WordPress. It shows that you don’t need to write so much code to customize something in your WordPress app. It introduces the wptexturize function the get_user_locale, the admin_notices action hook and the admin_head action hook too. Yes it’s not the mode elegant thing that comes. But it can be educational for beginners ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fb8077d5aa053789a796da1631cfa9d0ddde65aca409fa262cead2a2d3a9a2c7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[My site was hacked.
