If you’re building a site for a client and they have some problems with some parts of the dashboard, a good idea is to provide contextual help to the client.
The following hack will allow you to add a custom help messages for the blog admin.
The code have to be pasted into your functions.php file in order to work. Please edit line 4 with the desired help message.
function my_admin_help($text, $screen) { // Check we're only on my Settings page if (strcmp($screen, MY_PAGEHOOK) == 0 ) { $text = 'Here is some very useful information to help you use this plugin...'; return $text; } // Let the default WP Dashboard help stuff through on other Admin pages return $text; } add_action( 'contextual_help', 'my_admin_help' );
Thanks to Studio Grasshopper for the code!
