<p><strong>AssistifyDesk</strong> solves a common frustration for WordPress site owners: when something breaks, where do you go for help?</p>
<p>With dozens of plugins installed from different places — WordPress.org, premium marketplaces, and custom developers — it’s easy to lose track of where to report an issue or ask a question. AssistifyDesk puts every support resource in one clean, searchable screen inside your WordPress admin.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<p><strong>Central Support Directory</strong><br />
All your installed plugins and themes are listed in one place, each showing exactly where you can get support — no more hunting through bookmarks or searching the web.</p>
<p><strong>Smart Source Detection</strong><br />
AssistifyDesk automatically detects whether a plugin or theme is hosted on WordPress.org or is a premium/custom product, then links you to the correct support forum or website.</p>
<ul>
<li>WordPress.org plugins <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> linked directly to their official support forum</li>
<li>Premium plugins with a Plugin URI <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> linked to the plugin developer’s website</li>
<li>Plugins with no detectable support URL <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> a helpful fallback contact link is provided</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Status Indicators</strong><br />
See at a glance whether each plugin or theme is active or inactive, and whether an update is available — with colour-coded badges on every card.</p>
<p><strong>System Info Snapshot</strong><br />
A single copyable block containing your WordPress version, PHP version, MySQL version, server software, memory limit, max upload size, debug mode status, multisite status, active theme, and full active plugin list — ready to paste into any support ticket.</p>
<p><strong>Per-Plugin Support Template</strong><br />
Click “Copy Info” on any plugin card to copy a pre-filled support request template (plugin name, version, WordPress version, PHP version) directly to your clipboard.</p>
<p><strong>Search & Filter</strong><br />
Search plugins or themes by name in real time. Filter the plugin list by: All / Active / Inactive / WordPress.org / Premium / Updates Available.</p>
<p><strong>Admin Bar Shortcut</strong><br />
A AssistifyDesk link is added to the WordPress admin bar so you can jump to your support directory from any page in the admin.</p>
<p><strong>Admin-Only Access</strong><br />
The hub is only accessible to users with the <code>manage_options</code> capability (site administrators).</p>
<p><strong>No Data Storage</strong><br />
AssistifyDesk reads information that WordPress core already collects. It stores nothing in the database and makes no additional HTTP requests.</p>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>This plugin does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data or site data. It reads only locally available WordPress API data (plugin headers and update transients already cached by WordPress core).</p>

Help Manager

This is a simple but well executed plugin to add help docs to the admin area. Such a great tool for sites where the client will edit content. Thanks folks for your work on this! 100% recommended.

Super Helpful Plugin

Create documentation for the site's authors, editors, and contributors viewable in the WordPress admin and avoid repeated "how-to" questions.
