Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Plugin Notes Plus

As of version 1.2.4, you can use the filter plugin-notes-plus_note_placement to move notes beneath the plugin description. Here is an example of a snippet that places plugin notes beneath the plugin description. It can be added to your child theme's functions.php. Without this, the note position will default to a separate column on the plugins page. function pnp_change_note_placement( $note_placement ) { $note_placement = 'description'; return $note_placement; } add_filter( 'plugin-notes-plus_note_placement', 'pnp_change_note_placement' );
Yes, you can use the filter plugin-notes-plus_icon_options to modify the set of icons available. The icons must be selected from the list of available WordPress dashicons. Here is an example of a snippet that removes one icon and adds an additional icon to the list of options. It can be added to your child theme's functions.php: function pnp_change_icon_options( $icon_options ) { // Remove key option unset( $icon_options['dashicons-admin-network'] ); // Add smartphone option $icon_options['dashicons-smartphone'] = 'Smartphone'; return $icon_options; } add_filter( 'plugin-notes-plus_icon_options', 'pnp_change_icon_options' );
You can use the following HTML tags: a, br, p, b, strong, i, em, u, hr. To modify the list of available tags, use the filter plugin-notes-plus_allowed_html. Be careful, however, to avoid allowing tags that could leave the site vulnerable to an XSS attack. function pnp_change_allowed_html_tags( $allowed_tags ) { // Remove br from allowed tags unset( $allowed_tags['br'] ); // Add img to allowed tags $allowed_tags['img'] = array(); return $allowed_tags; } add_filter( 'plugin-notes-plus_allowed_html', 'pnp_change_allowed_html_tags' );
Plugin notes and note metadata are stored in a custom table whose name ends in plugin_notes_plus. In the initial version (1.0.0), notes were stored in the options table. Version 1.1.0 was released to migrate existing notes from the options table into the plugin_notes_plus table. Upgrading to version 1.1.1 will perform a cleanup, removing any notes from the options table.
Each site within a multisite install maintains its own plugin notes. Additionally, the superadmin can maintain their own plugin notes.
As of version 1.2.6, you can use the filter plugin-notes-plus_hide_notes to show or hide plugin notes. Here is an example of a snippet that hides plugin notes from a specfic user. It can be added to your child theme's functions.php. Without this, plugin notes are displayed by default to all users who can view the plugins page. function pnp_hide_notes( $hide_notes ) { // logic to set $hide_notes to TRUE or FALSE return $hide_notes; } add_filter( 'plugin-notes-plus_hide_notes', 'pnp_hide_notes' );
