Whether you are staging a development site, saving frequently used shortcodes, or just keeping daily admin notes, the Chalkboard keeps your most important snippets one click away. #### Features * **Code-Safe Saving:** Safely store raw code snippets, plain text, and URLs without the system stripping out your HTML or PHP tags. * **Drag-and-Drop Reordering:** Easily organize your snippets by clicking and dragging them into your preferred order. * **Color Coding:** Assign specific colors to your snippets to visually categorize them at a glance. * **One-Click Copy:** Click the clipboard icon to instantly copy your snippet to your device’s clipboard. * **Accordion UI:** Keep your dashboard clean by expanding only the snippets you need and collapsing the rest. * **Resizable Workspace:** Easily drag the corner of any snippet to dynamically expand the viewing or editing area, giving you plenty of room to work with large code blocks. * **Import/Export:** Export your entire chalkboard to a JSON file to easily migrate your snippets to another server or backup your data. ## Screenshots [⌊A full overview of the dashboard widget in action, featuring the creation section, global import/export tools, and a stacked library of snippets.⌉⌊A full overview of the dashboard widget in action, featuring the creation section, global import/ export tools, and a stacked library of snippets.⌉[ A full overview of the dashboard widget in action, featuring the creation section, global import/export tools, and a stacked library of snippets.

The XOF Admin Chalkboard is restricted to users with `manage_options` capabilities, meaning only Administrators will see the widget and have access to the data. ### Will my code snippets execute on the dashboard? No. The plugin securely escapes all outputs, meaning your PHP, JavaScript, and HTML tags are converted to visual text entities on the screen to prevent accidental execution or layout breaks. ### How does the Import feature work? When you import a JSON file generated by the XOF Chalkboard, the new snippets are securely appended to the top of your existing list. It will not overwrite or delete your current notes. ### Where is my snippet data saved? To keep your database fast and clean, all snippets are stored natively in the standard WordPress `wp_usermeta` table. The plugin does not create any bloated custom database tables. ### I activated the plugin, but I don’t see the widget? Click the “Screen Options” tab at the top right of your WordPress dashboard and ensure the box next to “XOF Chalkboard” is checked. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “XOF Admin Chalkboard” is open source software.
