[Plugin: Back-End Instructions] Error with 3.1.1

That’s a “notice”, not an error. It means it doesn’t affect how it works. You’re seeing the notification because you have reporting turned on, probably set to view all.

Not saying I won’t look into it, but it’s not an error.

I just found the warnings. Yep – they are there if you have reporting turned on (either via PHP or through the ‘WP_DEBUG” constant in your wp-config.php file). Again, these warnings don’t affect the functionality of the plugin – still works fine. They are there because when you first activate the plugin, you don’t have any data for the plugin to pull – it’s empty.

Thanks for letting me know about it though – because it *is* annoying, even if it doesn’t affect anything.

I’ve just edited the plugin to check for empty data now – uploading version 0.7 (after I finish writing this post) to get rid of the notices. If you don’t mind, could you remove your vote that the plugin doesn’t work? Because it does. Thanks! ??

Ok: thank you

Okay – I’ve just committed the 0.7 version to the plugin repository – it could take about 20 minutes or so before it shows up – so watch for it ??

Thanks again for letting me know ??

A most brilliant plugin indeed, V 0.7 works fine (in Local) with WP 3.1.1 Will save time explaining same things again and again to different people on live sites. Am going to change the #bei_expand_link Div, so as to make the help instruction even more noticable. Most times, people do not see what’s staring at them! Congratulations Doodlebee!!!!

Thanks, deflorence ?? If it helps, there’s a “css” folder in the plugin. You’re more than welcome to just change what’s in there to make it look however you like – I don’t recommend changing the div ID though, since the js that causes the show/hide function relies on the div ID. But if you do change the files, I’d definitely recommend making backups so they don’t get overwritten when an upgrade occurs ?? Another idea is to just hook into the enqueue_back_end_header() function to add your own styles ?? If you add your own to the end, it’ll override the plugins default (and very minimal) styles.
