Zemra Why Notes adds a right-side slide-out notes drawer in the WordPress admin area.
Notes are scoped to the current normalized admin screen, so a note added on one plugin settings page does not appear on unrelated admin screens.
The plugin is intended for operational context, setup notes, and maintenance reminders.
Examples:
<ul>
<li>Connected to SMTP2GO account: example@email.com</li>
<li>Do not update this plugin without checking custom template overrides.</li>
<li>This setting was requested by the client.</li>
</ul>
Do not store passwords, full API keys, private keys, or other secrets in notes.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Private, admin-only contextual notes.</li>
<li>Notes scoped to the current admin screen.</li>
<li>Right-side click-only notes drawer.</li>
<li>Grey tab when no notes exist.</li>
<li>Green tab when notes exist.</li>
<li>Red tab when at least one note is marked important.</li>
<li>Add, edit, delete, and mark notes important.</li>
<li>All-notes management page under Tools > Zemra Why Notes.</li>
<li>Custom database table.</li>
<li>Multisite support.</li>
<li>Optional setting to delete plugin data when the plugin is deleted.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Multisite</h3>
Zemra Why Notes supports multisite.
Per-site activation creates the table for that individual site.
Network activation creates the table for every existing site in the network.
New sites created after network activation get their own notes table automatically.
Notes are isolated per site.

Zemra Why Notes

Add admin-only, screen-specific notes in WordPress admin to remember why settings and plugins were configured that way.

Site operators can create detailed, hierarchical documentation for the site’s authors, editors, and contributors, viewable in the WordPress admin. Powered by Custom Post Types, you get all the power of WordPress to create, edit, and arrange your documentation. Perfect for customized client sites. Never send another “here’s how to use your site” e-mail again!
NEW: You can now pull in help documents from another WP Help install, and they will be automatically updated when the source documents change (even additions and deletions!). Perfect for WordPress multisite installs, or consultants with a large number of client installs.

WP Help

I was going to write my own plugin, but then I found this one.

It's simple, effective and works well. The sync feature is especially useful in a multisite setup.

Thank you!

Easy and Effective

I create websites for clients. The plugin allows me to transfer documentation along with the site.
Simple and convenient. Thanks to the developer! 

P.S. Continue to develop the product.

Great plug-in. Create documentation in the admin panel.

Not much to say really. Simple. Does the job great. Been working without fail for many years.

Super plugin. Been using for years.


This is one of the best plugins you can find. Does what is says, clean and nice. The sync feature is just elegant, bust also very useful. Good for anyone, and a must have for agents and their clients.


Used for many years


For an agency delivering a lot of websites for users with little or no knowledge of WordPress, this is a gem!I can combine general docs from a central hub, so I only have to maintain it one place, with local docs for the customized functions.It's simple, but I can use most blocks in the help documents.


This is great!

Site operators can create detailed, hierarchical documentation for the site's authors, editors, and contributors, viewable in the WordPress admin.
