Simple Documentation

Description

This plugin helps webmasters/developers to provide documentation through the wordpress dashboard.

This plugins allows you to share 4 types of content:

• “Link” It is a simple link with a custom title and url which will open in a new tab
• “Video” Allow you to put an embed code from websites like Youtube, Vimeo, ScreenR (all the ones which gives you iframe based code)
• “Quick Note” This a short text which intend to help by giving a short tip! (for longer content use Links!)
• “File” Upload a file to the wordpress installation and display the link. (The file link can be filled manually if you upload content by FTP).

As an administrator, you can add, edit or remove content, choose the number of items displayed per page in the widget, the targeted backend user role and customize the widget title and welcome message.

Backend Users and Administrators can pin items to highlight them.

I’m currently working on rewriting this plugin from scratch in order to improve its reliability and make it easier to maintain. Thanks for your patience.

Keeps losing my documentation—does not work anymore

tristandenyer July 16, 2017 3 replies

While using WP 4.8, this plugin installed, activated, but does not work. I edited the first example doc they had, but when I went to add a new one, it simply overwrote the first one with a blank document. So, both were now gone and I cannot add anymore. Broken.

Nice solution for client documentation

Martin Sauter September 3, 2016

This plug-in is exactly what I need to bring some documentation for my clients right to the WordPress backend dashboard. I only miss the possibility to add images to the documentation.

Excellent!

I’ve been using this off and on for a couple of years and it just keeps getting better. Run into a few issues along the way, but nothing insurmountable. Thank you @mathieuhays
