About Webzone Config Notes

Document the "why" behind your WordPress configuration choices, right inside the dashboard.

How many times have you set an option for a precise, justified reason, only to find it again months later without remembering why? Changing it “blindly” can break things.

Webzone Config Notes gives you a place to record the reasoning behind your configuration decisions:

  • Central register — a dedicated “Config Notes” menu with all your notes: title, text, category, author and date.
  • Contextual notes — link a note to a specific settings page. The note appears automatically at the top of that page every time you open it, so the explanation is always next to the setting it refers to.
  • Categories — organize notes by topic (SEO, permalinks, cache, security…).
  • Automatic author and date — you always know who decided what, and when.
  • CSV export — download all notes as a backup or to take them elsewhere (UTF-8 with BOM, so they open correctly in Excel).
  • Dashboard widget — your latest decisions at a glance when you log in.

Notes are visible to administrators only. The plugin makes no external connections and stores everything in your own WordPress database.

The plugin is available in English and Italian.

Developed by Webzone.it — custom WordPress plugin development.

Quante volte hai impostato un’opzione per un motivo preciso e giustificato, per poi ritrovartela mesi dopo senza ricordare perché? Cambiarla “alla cieca” può creare problemi.

Webzone Config Notes ti dà un posto dove annotare il motivo delle tue decisioni di configurazione, direttamente nella bacheca:

  • Registro centrale — un menu dedicato “Config Notes” con tutte le note: titolo, testo, categoria, autore e data.
  • Note contestuali — collega una nota a una specifica pagina di impostazioni: comparirà automaticamente in cima a quella pagina ogni volta che la apri, con la spiegazione sempre accanto al setting a cui si riferisce.
  • Categorie — organizza le note per argomento (SEO, permalink, cache, sicurezza…).
  • Autore e data automatici — sai sempre chi ha deciso cosa, e quando.
  • Esportazione CSV — scarica tutte le note come backup (UTF-8 con BOM, si aprono correttamente in Excel).
  • Widget in bacheca — le ultime decisioni a colpo d’occhio all’accesso.

Le note sono visibili solo agli amministratori. Il plugin non effettua connessioni esterne e salva tutto nel database del tuo sito.

Sviluppato da Webzone.it — sviluppo plugin WordPress su misura.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can see the notes?

Only administrators. On activation the plugin grants dedicated capabilities to the administrator role; other roles (editors, authors) do not see the notes or the menu.

Does the plugin send data anywhere?

No. It makes no external requests and stores all notes in your own WordPress database.

What happens to my notes if I delete the plugin?

Deactivating keeps your notes in the database. Deleting the plugin runs the uninstall routine, which removes all notes, categories and settings created by the plugin.

Is it translated?

Yes, English and Italian are included. Additional translations are welcome.

Changelog

1.1.3

  • Added an Italian description to the plugin page.
  • Updated the plugin homepage URL.

1.1.2

  • Renamed to “Webzone Config Notes” (slug: webzone-config-notes) with a distinctive brand prefix.
  • Renamed all internal prefixes to a unique 4+ character prefix (wzcn_) to avoid collisions.
  • Removed bundled translation files; translations are now handled via translate.wordpress.org.

1.1.1

  • Compliance with Plugin Check: removed the discouraged load_plugin_textdomain() call (translations load automatically), replaced direct file writes in the CSV export with buffered output (also hardened against CSV injection), removed suppress_filters from the uninstall query, and updated “Tested up to”.

1.1.0

  • Renamed to “Webzone Config Notes” for the public release.
  • Full internationalization; English base language with Italian translation included.
  • Added an uninstall routine to clean up all plugin data on deletion.
  • Readme rewritten to the WordPress.org standard.

1.0.2

  • Fixed (important): note capabilities were mapped onto “manage_options”, poisoning WordPress’s global capability registry and hiding the “Settings” menu. The plugin now uses dedicated capabilities granted to the administrator role. Verified on WordPress 6.8.

1.0.1

  • Fixed: the plugin menu used the same position (80) as the “Settings” menu, hiding it. Moved to position 81.

1.0.0

  • First version: central register, contextual notes, categories, author/date, dashboard widget, CSV export.
