Description
Zemra Why Notes adds a right-side slide-out notes drawer in the WordPress admin area.
Notes are scoped to the current normalized admin screen, so a note added on one plugin settings page does not appear on unrelated admin screens.
The plugin is intended for operational context, setup notes, and maintenance reminders.
Examples:
- Connected to SMTP2GO account: example@email.com
- Do not update this plugin without checking custom template overrides.
- This setting was requested by the client.
Do not store passwords, full API keys, private keys, or other secrets in notes.
Features
- Private, admin-only contextual notes.
- Notes scoped to the current admin screen.
- Right-side click-only notes drawer.
- Grey tab when no notes exist.
- Green tab when notes exist.

- All-notes management page under Tools > Zemra Why Notes.

Multisite
Zemra Why Notes supports multisite.
Per-site activation creates the table for that individual site.
Network activation creates the table for every existing site in the network.
New sites created after network activation get their own notes table automatically.
Notes are isolated per site.

FAQ
-
Can I store passwords or API keys in notes?
-
No. This plugin is for operational notes, not credential storage.
-
Can non-admin users see notes?
-
No. By default, only users with manage_options can use the notes drawer or management page.
-
Does this work on multisite?
-
Yes. Notes are stored separately per site.
-
Does deactivation delete notes?
-
No. Deactivation alone does not delete notes. If enabled, the cleanup setting deletes the plugin table and options when the plugin is deleted.
