Plugin Description
Internal Comments is a plugin that lets you post admin-facing comments that are only visible to users with admin-area access on any registered post type.
After selecting the post types that support internal comments in the plugin’s settings, a new metabox will appear on the edit screen of posts belonging to those post types. Users with appropriate permissions will now be able to post new internal comments.
Here is a short overview of the features offered by this plugin:
- Internal comments can be enabled on all registered post types for which WordPress auto-generates the UI screens.
- Administrators can view a list of all internal comments posted on the site through a new submenu point under the Comments admin menu.
- The number of internal comments a post has can be viewed in a new column on the WordPress posts list table screen.
- [Premium] Internal comments can be quick-viewed from the WordPress posts list column without opening the single post edit screen.
- [Premium] Internal comments can be marked as private so that they are only visible to the original author and administrators.
- [Premium] Internal comments can be edited and replied to inline.
