Add private notes to WordPress posts
May 15, 2009 · Print This Article
Sometimes, you may need to leave a private note (e.g. only visible to admin) to a post, but there’s no built-in solution in WordPress to do it.
Here’s the code you need to add to your functions.php file:
add_shortcode( 'note', 'live_note' );
function live_note( $atts, $content = null ) {
if ( current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) )
return '<div class="note">'.$content.'</div>';
return '';
}
Once done, simply add the following shortcode in your posts:
[note]
This is a note that only someone can see…
[/note]
Note that the note will be displayed with a <div class=”note”></div> tags, so you can use it to give a specific style to your notes.
