Do you want to give users a private area to share information based on a role they have been assigned?
…this plugin allows you to quickly create a custom post type for user roles. This allows users, with a specific role, the ability to create and edit their own ‘help notes’ providing a private set of notes for use. It can be used for anything else that fits with that role ( e.g. creating and sharing ideas within teams, minutes-of-meetings, formal notes… etc.).
To add new roles to the basic WordPress roles (Administrator, Editor, Subscriber ..etc ) you will need to use another plugin refer to <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Resources" rel="nofollow ugc">Roles_and_Capabilities</a> and Resources.. Plugins. You can then use one of these plugins ( e.g. <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/" title="User Role Editor" rel="ugc">User Role Editor</a> ) to allocate users to multiple roles.
So if you want to quickly give a group a private area to share and post ideas/notes .. 
1. Create a new role. 
2. Add users to the role. 
3. Enable the Help Notes from the settings.
A global ‘General Help Notes’ type is also available which is not tided to a specific role, this has the same access/capabilities as the standard WordPress ‘post’ type for write access. Unlike the other Help Notes the General Type is public to read, you can see an example over at an <a href="https://justinandco.com/plugins/help-notes/" rel="nofollow ugc">example content page</a>.
There is a widget available to list all users with access to the current Help Note type on display. The user display_name is shown and can be selected by each user within their own profile.

But that’s not all! We’ve added a new feature – football livescore widget to add fully automated live scores and results for today from any tournament you want (or all of them at once). Just insert simple shortcode where you want on page and your users will get livescores with real time updates with no need to refresh the page. 
Livescore widget is fully responsive for any screen sizes and has no ads.
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
This plugin is compatible with <a href="https://www.classicpress.net" rel="nofollow ugc">ClassicPress</a>.
<h4>Interaction with External Services</h4>
Sportsteam Widget utilizes the external service 777score.com to obtain up-to-date information about the schedule and results of football matches. 777score.com is a recognized source of sports information trusted by the sports community. This service provides a wide range of information about football, including various leagues, tournaments, and championships from around the world.
The functioning of the 777score.com service is based on delivering real-time data about selected matches, including the match start time, its status, incidents, and the score. Users have the ability to view detailed information about matches, such as goal lists, received cards, and other key events, without the need to refresh the page. This means that data is automatically updated without requiring page reload.
This approach ensures users quick and uninterrupted access to the latest sports data without the effort of manually updating information, allowing them to stay informed about ongoing events in real-time.
