<p>With EP Admin Messages you can show messages in the admin area of WordPress. Each message can be shown at multiple places and can be limited to only be shown to specific user groups using capabilities.</p>
<p>This plugin requires that you add a config file to your themes folder. It’s mostly useful for theme developers that want tho show messages in the admin to the users of their site.</p>
<h4>Plugin features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Show messages in WordPress Admin</li>
<li>Show messages in different places</li>
<li>Show different messages for different users</li>
<li>Format messages using HTML</li>
<li>Stores settings in a JSON-file. No config screen!</li>
<li>Suitable for website and theme developers that want to push message changes automatically.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Messages are shown where you want them to be shown</h4>
<p>You have full control over where your messages will be shown.<br />
Each message can be placed in one or several of the following places:</p>
<ul>
<li>dashboard</li>
<li>overview screen for posts, pages, and custom post types</li>
<li>edit screen for posts, pages and custom post types</li>
<li>posts with a specific slug or a slug based on a wildcard</li>
<li>user overview screen and on user profiles</li>
<li>plugin install/update page</li>
</ul>
<h4>Messages are only shown to the users that you choose</h4>
<p>Each message can be limited to be shown only to users with a specific <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Capabilities" rel="nofollow ugc">capability</a> or <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Roles" rel="nofollow ugc">role</a>.</p>
<p>You can for example show one message to your editors, i.e. users with the capability “edit_posts”, and another message to your admins, i.e. users with the capability “manage_options”.</p>
<h4>Messages can be selectd to be shown only on the posts you choose</h4>
<p>Messages can be limited to only be shown on posts that match a specific slug, or a slug that matches a wildcard.</p>
<p>This way it’s easy to for example show page specific information, letting a user know what a page is for, what they should put in in, and so on.</p>
<h4>JSON-based config file</h4>
<p>All settings are configured with a config file (<a href="https://github.com/EarthPeople/ep-admin-messages/blob/master/ep-config-example.json" rel="nofollow ugc">view example config</a>) that uses JSON and that you put in the themes directory.</p>
<p>This means that there are no settings for the user to change. This also means that you can add messages using your regular deploy method. Just upload an updated config file and you’re done. No database syncing needed; hooray!</p>
<h4>Usage scenarios</h4>
<p>To give you an idea what this plugin may be used for, I’ll give you a list of what I do with it.</p>
<p>EP Simple Messages can be used to…</p>
<ul>

<li>… show a message on the dashboard with support info, like who made the site and who they should contact for support questions.</li>

<p>CTA Button Styler is a plugin for WordPress that allows easy styling of existing buttons in WordPress. Buttons labelled with the <em>cta101</em> class can be easily turned into effective <strong>Call To Action buttons</strong> which will encourage visitors to stay on the site and click through to the desired page.</p>
<p>Reducing your bounce-rate (i.e. getting visitors to look at more than one page on your site) is important for your site ranking. Using effective call-to-action buttons encourages visitors to click through and visit other pages thereby reducing your overall bounce rate and potentially increasing your ranking.</p>
<p>CTA button styler is designed with flexibility and ease of use in mind. It is easy to install. Does not consume any unnecessary resources and simply does what it needs to do to keep visitors on the site.</p>
<p>You get to decide the button styles, hover-styles and effects for your button. You can also change the call-to-action buttons at any time according to your needs or to test whether a different style leads to more click-throughs.</p>
<p>This is an early release version of the plugin. We are working on more advanced options like AB testing, image buttons and potentially lead identification. These advanced features will be rolled out in a future version of the software.</p>
