WordPress developers: ever written awesome custom functions and script work for client's site? Then you provide said client with instructions - either via printed manual, video tutorials, or even emails - but no matter how many ways you tell them how to use the site you just made for them, they keep asking you for instructions?

I've found this is typically because most clients want instructions that appear "in your face". They like immediate answers to their questions - they don't want to have to find that file, or search their email for the answers. It's much faster for them to just call you and ask what to do.

This plugin solves the issue. Now there can be no more excuses for not finding the answers you've already supplied for them ad nauseum.

Features

1. The ability to provide a small excerpt to describe what each "instructable" contains within.
2. Click the link title, and the "instructable" expands to display the content.
   • Content can be a written list of instructions, or some other form of media.
   • Content can be anything you like, and you can use it just like you would any other post - the only difference is, this stuff shows up in the back-end.
3. Only Administrators and Editors can gain access to edit/create the "instructables" - lower levels will only see them.
4. You can set what end user level can view which instructions. For example, you don't want an Author to see the same instructions for "Edit Posts" that an Administrator would see - it would confuse them. So you can also create content and serve up specific information based on the user level, if you so desire.

Note that upper levels will also see lower-level videos, so keep that in mind while preparing your instructions. I find it useful to make videos specific to the lowest level first, and then build onto that base as you go up the user-level chain of command.
