  • No Roles

    All users can see plugin and make changes....not good. There should be restrictions so that only admins can see the plugin. When that change is made I will give the plugin a higher rating.

  • Needs roles

    This plugin needs roles. Currently all users can edit the dashboard messages. This is not very handy.

  • Maintenance logs upfront on the dashboard

    Client can see a running log of services performed on the dashboard when they login. Reassures them that the website IS monitored and maintained without bothersome emails that get scattered over time. For this purpose I do not use the title field to give a more condensed look. Yes, such log could be maintained on a private page but that requires client to seek it out. This is a more gentle yet persistent way of keeping them informed (for clients who DO occasionally login to the dashboard). On my personal website I also post reminders-to-self about ideas to keep on the front burner, and critical renewal dates relevant to that site. Could wish for a few tweaking options but simple and effective as-is. Much appreciation for this plugin. More will use it once they know about it. Please keep it qualified for the repository! Thank you!

  • VERY handy plugin

    This is a very, VERY useful plugin if you are handing a site over to a customer and want to leave some basic instructions or reminders on their dashboard. Thanks developer!
