WP_PostNotes

WP_PostNotes is a free WordPress plug-in that allows you to add notes to any post that will only be visible to the author or named users. Originally conceived for inclusion in to the WP_Submission plug-in to store information about the submission that is not to be shown to the public.

Installation

• Download the required plug-in.
• Unzip file if required.
• Copy to your ‘wp-content/plugins‘ directory.
• Log in with an administration account.
• Select the ‘Plugins‘ tab.
• Scroll down to ‘WP_PostNotes’ and click ‘activate‘.

Upgrading

With the release of WordPress 2.5, WordPress now supports BBCode style shortcodes. Which means the preferred method of inserting content into is post via a plugin is with [] instead of <!– –>. With this in mind WP_PostNotes now has support for this method. Once WordPress 2.5 is the predominant version, the <!– –>method will be dropped, and the plug-in rewritten to use the internal API calls, hopefully meaning for a more efficient plugin.
To upgrade previous postnote already in you posts
