Dashboard Notepad

Description

This dashboard widget provides a simple notepad for your WordPress site. You can customize the settings to choose which user roles can edit the notes and which can only read them. This flexibility allows you to manage note-taking effectively across different users.

Version 1.30 introduces support for custom roles and integrates with the Members plugin for enhanced role settings. You can display the contents of your notepad using a template tag or shortcode, ensuring that only users with permission to read the notes can view them on the front end.

Additionally, you can use the CSS selector div#dashboard-notes in your theme's CSS file to style the notes according to your design preferences.
