Peter's Post Notes

Add admin notes to posts, pages and custom post types, right on the edit screen. Leave editorial notes for your writers, reminders for yourself, or feedback for your team. Only logged-in users who can edit the content see the notes. Visitors never see them. It is a simple, lightweight way to collaborate on content inside WordPress, without email threads or external tools. Under new ownership Peter's Post Notes has a new maintainer. Version 2.0.0 is a full security and compatibility update for current WordPress and PHP versions, including full block editor support. Existing notes and settings are kept and upgraded automatically. A big thank you to Peter (@pkthree), the original author, and to everyone who has used and translated the plugin over the years. Who is it for?

• Editorial teams and blogs: editors leave feedback on drafts; writers reply before publishing.
• Agencies and freelancers: keep client instructions and to-dos next to the page they belong to.
• Solo site owners: private reminders on posts and pages ("update this in January", "check links").
• Multi-author sites: see the latest notes on the posts you care about, straight from the dashboard.

产品特点 ⭐ Notes box on the edit screen of posts, pages and any custom post type you enable. Works in the block editor (Gutenberg) and the classic editor. ⭐ Instant saving: add, edit and delete notes without saving or reloading the post. ⭐ Private notes that only you can see, alongside shared team notes. ⭐ Collaboration Notes dashboard widget: the latest notes on posts you wrote or commented on. ⭐ General Notes dashboard widget: team-wide announcements and personal notes, with paging. ⭐ Latest note column in the posts and pages lists, so you can see open feedback at a glance. ⭐ Role and capability permissions: choose who can see all notes, who can edit anyone's notes, and who can post team-wide notes. ⭐ Basic HTML in notes (the same tags allowed in comments). Turn it on or off in Settings > Peter's Post Notes. ⭐ Secure by design: nonce-protected REST API, escaped output and permission checks on every request. ⭐ Translation ready: help translate it on translate.wordpress.org. Privacy Notes are stored in your own WordPress database. The plugin does not send data to any external service and adds nothing to the front end of your site.

2.0.0 The plugin is under new ownership. Security and compatibility release. Requires WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 7.4+.

• Security: all actions now require a valid nonce (fixes cross-site request forgery on editing notes, adding dashboard notes and adding notes on save).
• Security: all output is escaped (fixes stored XSS through post titles and note content in the dashboard widgets, the meta box and the post list).
• Security: notes on a post can only be read or changed by users who can edit that post. Private notes can only be changed by their author.
• Security: settings are validated against the real roles, capabilities and post types. All database queries are prepared.
• Block editor support: add, edit and delete notes instantly. A note left in the box is added when the post is saved.
• Your own notes have a highlighted background in the notes box and both dashboard widgets, so they stand out from your team's notes.
• Replaced the deprecated tw-sack library with the WordPress REST API.
• The "Latest note" column now appears for pages and every enabled post type, and loads with a single query.
• Dashboard widget no longer uses query_posts().
• Database: added a primary key and indexes to the notes tables. Existing notes are migrated automatically on update.
• Fixed accented characters and emoji being lost on sites whose notes tables use the latin1 charset.
• PHP 8.x compatibility fixes.
• Text domain changed to "peters-post-notes" for wordpress.org language packs.
• The charset setting was removed; the site charset is used.
