LH Dashboard Notes

Description

LH Dashboard Notes allow you to insert noes on your wp-admin dashboard for your users using the post editor interface. If this plugin is network activated the insertion and editing of these dashboard notes is centralised on the main site of your multisite install. Allowing you to set Dashboard notes that are viewed throughout your multisite network.

Installation

Upload the lh-dashboard-notes folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate or network activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
If the plugin is activated normally a Dash Notes post type will appear on your website, if it is network activated this post type will only appear on the main site.

Faq

Does the plugin require a multisite installation?

No it works on both a single install and multisite

Does this plugin behave differently when networked activated?

Yes when network activated the Dashboard Notes post editor is only available on the main site of your multisite install. However the notes created on the main site will appear on the dashboard of all site in your multisite install.

Still works perfectly in WordPress 6.6.1

By stephunique on July 31, 2024

Works perfectly in WordPress 6.6.1, and prevents other users from editing or deleting admin notes. Notes can be edited as HTML with formatting and can insert images. The notes can be collapsed which is a huge benefit if we are adding a lot of content with instructions for clients. Thank you! One thing though: the advertised plugin preview picture at the top of the page belongs to another plugin, and does not look like this one at all.

Great for dashboard notes across all sites in multisite network

By vickita on November 13, 2020

What it says on the tin: this plugin will let you post dashboard notes across all sites in a multisite network, which is super valuable. I'm running on current WordPress (5.5.3, as I type this), and it's fine.

Still Working with WP 5.8.3

This is still a fantastic plugin and I use it on all sites. Along with Plugin Notes. Best way to document your WP site.

Gets the job done

A Valuable Addition to the WP Dashboard

LH Dashboard Notes is exactly what I was looking for to organize the notes and plans for my blog. It is so easy to use, and the "Search" makes everything quick to find. ... Thank you very much.

Useful plugin

Very easy to use, this plugin now supports shortcodes, at my suggestion. Highly recommended.

Having notes is very helpful for writing down ideas for your site/content. Thanks!

Great!

This is exactly what I wanted. Easy to use. Small enough not to take up a lot of space. The only thing I cannot figure out is how to put it on my dashboard - its simply in the menu on the left hand side. No worries. Ill get used to it. I tried 3 other plugins before this one, and they were all too confusing or needed too many steps to work. When I work on my blog I need things to be as time efficient as possible and Dash Notes was easy to figure out and easy to use. That means its A++ in my book. Thanks!

Great Idea.
