<p>This plugin is as simple as it is useful. Add the widget or use the shortcode <code>[you-have-a-new-message]</code> anywhere to display a notice if the currently logged in user has new messages. The notice links to the user’s inbox as a convenient and omnipresent shortcut.</p>
<p>Message texts can be configured via widget interface and shortcode parameters, e.g. <code>[you-have-a-new-message single="new message" multiple="%s new messages"]</code>.</p>
