A plugin that’s not only a nuisance but also a bother
It’s pointless and a nuisance; I wish it would just disappear already… I’m Japanese, but when I saw this, I wasn’t sure at first if it was okay to delete it. It shouldn’t be included by default. (I’m using an automatic translator, so I apologize if the meaning comes across differently.)

A tribute to the plugin that started it all
This standalone PHP script delivers the classic Hello Dolly lyrics. It’s the classic Hello Dolly, one file, no plugin, pure tribute to the legend. <?php /** * Hello Dolly - Minimalist Standalone with Fade-in */ function hello_dolly_get_lyric() { $lyrics = "Hello, Dolly Well, hello, Dolly It's so nice to have you…

A Classic Piece of WordPress History
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…

Nice Biolerplate code plugin
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…

Absolutely useless plugin
I believe someone is paying money to add this useless plugin to WordPress with every installation. If you see this plugin, please remove it.

Delete this nonsense. It serves no purpose.
Serves no purpose to most users and developers can just Google for a plugin code example if they need one.
by Doug Beney · Read on WordPress.org
Why is this still a thing?
It’s the most pointless plugin and is one of the first things that gets removed on a new installation. By default, there should be 0 plugins on new software.

Belle initiative
Il fallait y penser, mais par contre pourquoi est-ce que c’est installé d’office ?

A WordPress classic for WordPress veterans
I still remember those old days back in 2005/2006 when WordPress was a blog oriented CMS that just worked. Nowadays, WordPress is becaming a website builder with tons of blocks and things oriented to stay away from the original idea: writing content. Creating a blog. Now WordPress killed the blogs 🙁 Because of this,…

Always good to maintain a little humour
Every time we create a new installation, this plugin makes us smile. It reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously and that no matter how bleak things may look, there’s always room for a little kind-hearted sense of humour in our day 🙂

Please keep this active.
Thanks so much for including this plugin with core installations. It’s very useful when learning how to implement custom plugins. It’s also insightful to be able to manipulate the plugin and see the effects on functionality. This topic was modified 4 years ago by robertocannella.

No WordPress without Dolly
Thanks for all, Matt! @ 1-Star-Raters: Go home to “Blogger” and do not rate.

Ol’ Satchmo! What’s not to love?
Nice to see all the love for one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. I think you should go even further and throw in an Ella Fitzgerald too. Mix it up a bit. This topic was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by Jared.

This plugin is great with most famous songs by Louis Armstrong

Good For Learning
I appreciate this plugin as a good tutorial example to show users how to format a plugin file for WordPress. I do love the reminder of a wonderful era of music. I do wonder though if it has become a popular place for hackers to hide malicious codes.

Great plugin for beginners
This ‘Hello Dolly’ plugin is the very first plugin I had installed after my amazing instructor Courtney suggested our class to do so. Bravo to Matt for creating it and tying it to something easy and simple to comprehend. A must for those just now learning WordPress.

Love it
I have always loved the music specially Jazz and what a way to bring this plugin.

(NOT) SPAM
pre-edit: This will stay here to remind me: “Before having your first coffee, do not review stuff you have no idea about.” So, anything below this line is nonsense (: This plugin needs to be reviewed by authorities. Have no idea when and how installed but it’s there and don’t even know the purpose of it. This topic…
