Dashboard Notes 1.0.3, WordPress 6.4.2, PHP 8.1.x
]]>When I go to Appearance > Widgets, I do not see a new “Dashboard Notes” sidebar.
Is it just me or a general problem?
]]>Hi,
I can’t seem to get a note to be visible on any page that has a block editor, like Add New (/post-new.php) or Edit (/post.php) pages. It’s there, but it’s in a div that has the class .hide-if-js.
Also, the title of the widget area is just (admin only). In the screenshots it’s Dashboard Notes (admin only). It seems to have lost the Dashboard Notes.
]]>Hello!
I see that Dashboard Notes has not been updated for over 2 years now, and I was wondering if it will get any future updates and be maintained with new features, and most importantly new security updates.
Since many hack attacks rely on holes and vulnerabilities of plugins, using outdated plugins could be a a big risk for getting your site hacked.
Please let me know.
Thanks!
Jut found out that this plugin appears not to be working following an update to WP 4.7.2. – also doesn’t work on a fresch install ??
]]>The option to show only on URL doesn’r work on any pages. I tried downloading an old version of wordpress (3.9.11) and still have the same issue on that one so I am not sure it is because it hasn’t been tested on the version I am using (4.5.2).
I know you are not meant to enter the whole URL, only what comes after *.com/wp-admin/
I tried every variation too; I am looking to have it only on nav-menu.php. I tried:
nav-menu.php
/nav-menu.php
/nav-menu.php/*
nav-menu
nav-menu/*
/nav-menu
/nav-menu/*
Any help as to where I am going wrong or why it is not working? Thank you in advance, apart from this not working, it’s a really great tool.
]]>OK, all is in the title.
I chose “ONLY ON SELECTED URL” and put
/
If I add
/index.php
it does not work.
line #303
change please
translate_user_role($role[‘name’])
Hey
It is nice to leave notes but also nice to give the option for the user to remove them.
Right now I just told the user that I have installed a specific plugin. The user reads the notes and there is not option to remove it. Please add the option to the plugin settings screen.
Ps
I decided on deleting the plugin because the user can not remove the notes.
Great plugin! But Im trying to use the “Show on selected urls” function, and its not working. And there are no explanations anywhere, so im wondering if anyone can tell me which urls work, and how to use them..? Thanks alot!
]]>Hi,
First I would like to tell you nice plugin ??
But I have a problem :
I would like to show the note on the update-core.php page, so I select “Show on selected URLs” and when I paste the URL (‘https://***/wp-admin/update-core.php’), the note doesn’t appear …
Is there something else to select ?
]]>Can you add a settings that lets us select which role user can see the Notes on dashboard ?
]]>Is this plugin supposed to be able to work with WP Multisites?
I tried it and didn’t see it showing up.
If it doesn’t currently work with WP Multisites, do you think you can consider adding it? If it is supposed to work with WP Multisites, what might I be doing wrong?

]]>seem have problemes with wp 4.0.1

Selected….
Show on selected URLs:
https://bouldermusics.com/wp-admin/index.php
I only want my note on the Dashboard entrance page.
]]>Thank you for making a better Dashboard Note using Widgets. I was wondering if I could control the width of the widget (like Note #3 and #4 above) and could it be draggable like the other Dashboard widgets?
]]>Hi !
HThere is a widget that I want to be displayed on post and page editor only (it’s some writing tips, that don’t need to be on other admin category).
How can I do that ?
Thank you a lot for listening,
and for your very promising plugin !
Hey thanks for this.. it’s simple and does exactly what I was looking for; a means to add notes for myself and for clients in admin.
If I may make a couple suggestions/requests that you might consider, and probably already considered:
– Collapsability – and/or hide. Optional by session or time period
– Location – top or bottom, would be great if could appear in sidebar or below admin page content
– ‘Add Note’ – say, like ‘screen options’ & ‘help’ tabs, a shortcut to add note current page only.
– ‘Edit’ – shortcut, say upper rh in note, appears to note author only, to edit that note
Again, thanks for your the cool plugin!
]]>This plugin rocks. You inspired me to write my first plugin which works in a similar fashion buy letting you change the welcome panel using widgets/shortcodes/etc.
As I noted here in the FAQ’s section of my plugin there are a few plugins like this that really let you change the dashboard through widgets… The others being magic widgets and Dashboard Widget Sidebar.
If you check out how dashboard widget sidebar works it lets you add widgets (metaboxes) to the dashboard
Given the usual way to add metaboxes:
<?php
add_meta_box( $id, $title, $callback, $post_type, $context,
$priority, $callback_args );
?>Dashboard widget sidebar lets you change the following $title, $callback, $context, $priority.
Anyway, the way I’ve been using your plugin is similar to how CSS/JS Toolbox works. CSS/JS Toolbox is the only other plugin I’ve ever found that lets you target current screens through simple patterns as opposed to complicated screen hooks.
I think this plugin has a lot more potential than that one seeing that it works through the widgets API. What I did was I took the first css class .mm-green and hid it using .mm-green {display: none !Important;} Then using the enhanced text widget, users are able to add widgets to any screen in the admin section and add javascript/css in a very easy way just like they would on the frontend.
Doing this works great.
NOW I want to take it a step further. I’d like the action in your plugin construct to work more like Dashboard Widget sidebar where it lets you choose the paramaters, but more specifically lets you choose from a simple dropdown the hook location. So instead, replace the following admin_notices with a variable that allows the user to select the $hook through a simple dropdown:
` // Display dashboard notes
if ( is_admin() )
add_action( ‘admin_notices’, array( $this, ‘display_notices’ ) );
}`
To start I’m thinking the dropdown should be admin_head, admin_notices, and in_admin_footer (and maybe admin_print_scripts)
Anyway, I started working on this today, but if you have any ideas on how to get this to work or think you could get it working with your plugin please let me know! I really think it could change the way people look at backend development.
(HOPE THIS ALL MADE SENSE!)
I think “Dashboard Notes” doesn’t really justify how great this plugin really is and could be!

]]>Hi! How can I show notes only on Dashboard page? I′m trying to do it with some URLs settings but it′s not working.
]]>Possible the content could be feed/received from an external source? Would be great to update a bunch of sites all at once… ??
]]>Notice: Undefined index: include-logo in /home3/greggfra/public_html/phb/wp-content/plugins/dashboard-notes/dashboard-notes.php on line 265
Thought you would want to know.
Great idea for plugin!
