<p><strong>Collaborative Post Notes</strong> is a simple but powerful internal communication tool for WordPress teams.<br />
It adds a clean, threaded note system inside the post/page editor, allowing editors, authors, and content teams to communicate directly while working on content — with <strong>no external tools</strong> (Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.) needed.</p>
<p>This plugin improves your <strong>editorial workflow</strong>, reduces miscommunication, and keeps all discussions connected to the content they belong to.</p>
<h3>🟦 Why use Collaborative Post Notes?</h3>
<p>Managing content in a team often leads to scattered messages across multiple platforms.<br />
This plugin solves that problem by keeping all notes, replies, and discussions <strong>inside WordPress</strong>, right inside the editor.</p>
<h3>✨ Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Threaded (nested) notes</strong> — reply inside discussions like a mini comment system  </li>
<li><strong>Internal-only</strong> — notes never appear on the frontend  </li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong> — uses minimal database space, optimized for speed  </li>
<li><strong>Auto-recorded username & timestamp</strong>  </li>
<li><strong>Perfect for editorial and content teams</strong>  </li>
<li><strong>Supports posts and pages</strong>  </li>
<li><strong>Clean, distraction-free UI</strong>  </li>
<li><strong>No configuration required — works instantly</strong></li>
</ul>
<h3>🟩 Ideal For:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Editorial teams  </li>
<li>Multi-author blogs  </li>
<li>News websites  </li>
<li>Agencies with content workflows  </li>
<li>SEO/content strategy teams  </li>
<li>Anyone who collaborates inside WordPress  </li>
</ul>
<h3>🧩 How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Open any post or page  </li>
<li>Scroll to the <strong>Team Notes</strong> metabox  </li>
<li>Add a top-level note or reply to existing ones  </li>
<li>Notes automatically store user + time  </li>
<li>Everything is saved with the post</li>
</ol>
<h3>🔒 Private & Secure</h3>
<p>These notes are <strong>not public, not accessible through template files</strong>, and never appear on the frontend.</p>

Edit Flow

I have a fresh install with no plugins and Twenty Seventeen and I get this error when I try to activate the plugin: 

The plugin does not have a valid header.

Is this plugin dead?

Unable to Activate

Great plugin, logical interface. But there are two huge downsides:


	No active support from the developers
	It does not work on Gutenberg


So if you're not working with Gutenberg (which will be the default editor in WP 5.0) and you have no need for support: go for it! Great plugin!
In all other cases: find something better, and let me know what you've found, I need a replacement as well ;)
