    Loving your plugin!! It’s great for my staff who need in-context help/training while learning WP.

    I have noticed that one of my plugins, Events+ from WPMUDEV, has its own help tabs. BAH does not merge or override the default ones.

    The kind folks at WPMUDEV have given me instructions on how to comment out their help tabs, which is fine….but it’s a code change to the core plugin, which I prefer not to do, and it’s also not really solving the problem. What I would prefer in most cases would be for BAH to just merge it’s tabs with whatever WP or the plugin provides.

    I haven’t seen another plugin with it’s own help tabs yet, so I can’t really compare if this is a “problem” or just an expected thing. But I would love to see it improved. ??

    Thanks for the kind words, glad you find my plugin useful.

    Unfortunately, I can’t know what every third party has done to implement their own help tabs, whether or not they have used WP’s built in way, etc. Also, I have no way of testing what other plugins do (paid ones anyway), so I go by how my help tabs integrate with existing WP help tabs. Which is to say they integrate by adding tabs on pages that already have them, mixing the existing (WP anyway) tabs with the ones we are adding in my plugin. Also (as noted on the description page) there can be only one help sidebar per page, and it will be the most recent one (so will override whatever WP one is there, assuming it is newer).

    So as far as I can tell (within my testing of how the help tabs integrate with the default WP ones), it is working as it should. If you can show me a clear example where it isn’t (and where a third party is correctly using WP APIs for their help tabs) I would be happy to take a look.
