lazyZ33/message-board-plugin

Dashboard widget for WP admins. Create, share, and manage private or team notes, reminders, and internal site documentation.

This plugin adds a repositionable message board widget directly to the WordPress Dashboard. It’s perfect for internal team notes, reminders, and site development documentation that admins need to see immediately upon login.

Features:
The widget provides essential tools for internal communication:

  • Dashboard Widget: Fully collapsible and draggable on the main admin screen.
  • Note Creation: Quickly create plain text notes (supports links) with a title and date.
  • Visibility Control: Set notes to be visible to All Admins or restrict visibility to specific individual users.
  • Note Management: Only the creator can edit or delete their own notes. The widget defaults to the "Create New Note" screen.
  • Archive View: Browse and open all existing notes, organized by date.

Usage:

  • Activation: Once activated, find the Message Board widget on your main Dashboard screen.
  • Creating: Use the default view to quickly draft a note and set its visibility.
  • Viewing: Click "All Notes" to browse the archive. Select a note to view its full content, author, and date.

Requirements:

  • WordPress 5.0 or higher.
  • A user role with dashboard access (typically Administrator or Editor).
