## Description

**YAT DashNotes** is a lightweight, developer-friendly tool designed for freelancers
and agencies. It allows you to create custom dashboard widgets to guide your clients,
provide support contact information, or display project notes.

Stop sending long emails with instructions. Place them exactly where your clients
need them—right in their WordPress dashboard.

### Features:

 * **Multiple Widgets:** Create as many instruction boxes as you need.
 * **Visual Editor:** Use the familiar WordPress editor (TinyMCE) to format your
   notes with bold text, lists, and links.
 * **Dashboard Cleanup:** Optionally hide all default WordPress widgets (At a Glance,
   Activity, etc.) to give your clients a clean, focused workspace.
 * **Translation Ready:** Fully localized and ready for your language.

## Screenshots

## Installation

 1. Upload the `yat-dashnotes` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings > Client Widgets** to create your first note.

## FAQ

### Can I use HTML in the notes?

Yes, the plugin uses the standard WordPress editor, so you can add links, bold text,
and lists easily.

### Who can manage these notes?

Only users with the `manage_options` capability (typically Administrators) can create
or edit notes.

Great plugin for adding helpful notes to the WordPress dashboard. Simple, clean,
and very practical for developers managing client websites.
