Notice Vault – Hide, Manage & Organize Admin Notices vs KeepInMind Dashboard Notes

KeepInMind Dashboard Notes turns your WordPress dashboard into a collaborative workspace. Place notes directly on any admin page – anchored to the exact element you’re talking about. No more Slack messages, emails, or random chats saying “that field on the product edit page” – just click, write your note, and your team sees it right where it matters. Why KeepInMind Dashboard Notes? Whether you’re working in a team or managing a site on your own, the same problem keeps coming up: how to keep track of decisions in the dashboard. Which settings need to change? What does this custom field do? Why is this item configured this way? KeepInMind Dashboard Notes solves this by letting you pin notes directly to dashboard elements – for your team, or for your future self. Here are just a few real-world scenarios where it shines: You temporarily disable a plugin to test whether it’s causing a conflict. Drop a Warning note on the Plugins page so everyone knows it was turned off on purpose – and so you remember to check back in three weeks. You installed a plugin for one very specific reason that isn’t obvious. Pin a note to it explaining why it’s there, so another admin – or future you – doesn’t delete it thinking it’s unused. A client keeps changing a setting that breaks their site. Attach an always-visible Alert banner right next to that toggle: “Do not change – this controls the checkout redirect.” Your developer configured a custom field with a non-obvious format. Leave a note on the field itself explaining what values are expected, so the content team doesn’t have to guess. You’re onboarding a new team member. Instead of writing a separate training doc, scatter helpful Attention banners across the pages they’ll use most – guidance that shows up exactly where they need it. You’re running a staging review before launch. Pin notes to every area that needs a final check, and let your team reply with updates as they work through the list. Key Features Pin Notes Anywhere Click any element on any admin page to leave a note. Your note stays anchored to that exact element – a form field, a menu item, a settings toggle, a table row. When your teammate visits the page, they see the note marker right where it belongs. Rich Text Editing Format your notes with bold text, links, and text colors. The floating toolbar appears on text selection. Three Note Types: Pinned Note – Appears as a marker on the page. Click to open and manage a threaded discussion. Open Note – Always visible inline. Choose a color to highlight the note based on its importance. Sticky Note – Bold square note that sticks in place for highly visible reminders and warnings. @Mention Teammates Type @ to mention any allowed user. They’ll receive an email notification with your note. Autocomplete helps you find the right person fast – just keep typing to filter. Private notes Mark any note as private so only you can see it. Perfect for personal reminders and work-in-progress notes. Threaded Replies Pinned notes support full threaded replies. Keep conversations organized and contextual without cluttering the page. Drag & Relocate Notes can be dragged to a new element if the page layout changes. Grab the drag grip and drop it on the right spot – all replies move with it. Note Scoping On entity pages (posts, terms, users), choose whether your note applies to this specific item or all items of this type. For example, a note on the “Blue T-Shirt” edit page can be scoped just to that product – or to the edit page of all products. Configurable Permissions Control exactly who can add notes and who can edit or delete: Role-based access – Choose which roles can use the plugin (Administrator is always included). User-level access – Whitelist specific users regardless of role. Edit/Delete/Relocate policies – Author only, role hierarchy (strict or relaxed), or everybody.

Take Control of Your Dashboard with Notice Vault Every WordPress admin knows the feeling: you open your dashboard, and it’s buried under a pile of plugin notices, update nags, “thanks for installing” notices, and review requests. The important warnings get lost in the noise — and the noise never stops. Notice Vault captures every admin notice as it fires and moves it into one tidy popup. Your dashboard stays quiet, and nothing is thrown away — each notice waits in the popup until you are ready to read it. Hide Admin Notices Without Losing Them Most plugins that hide admin notices simply delete the markup, and the message is gone for good. Notice Vault works differently: it hides admin notices from the dashboard and keeps a copy of every one of them in your own database. You get a calm screen and the full record of what WordPress, your plugins and your theme tried to tell you. All Your Dashboard Notifications in One Place Captured dashboard notifications are sorted into six categories — success, error, warning, info, system and non-standard — and presented together in a single popup with category filters, an Unread/All toggle and a live counter in the admin bar. Instead of scrolling past a wall of alerts on every single admin page, you glance at one number and open the vault when it suits you. Read, Keep or Dismiss Notices on Your Terms Mark notices as read one at a time or in bulk, and dismiss notices you have already dealt with so they stop coming back. Read state is stored per user, so every administrator keeps their own view of the vault. Anything you leave alone expires automatically after a number of days you choose. You Decide Which Admin Notices Get Hidden Nothing disappears behind your back. Each of the six notice types carries its own rule: Show in popup moves that category off the dashboard, Do nothing leaves it exactly where WordPress put it. Error notices and WordPress core update and security nags stay on the dashboard by default, so critical alerts are never hidden from you. 🔥 Why you’ll Love it 🔥 Simplify Your Workspace: Move noisy admin notices out of the dashboard and into a dedicated popup. Nothing Gets Lost: Hide admin notices without deleting them — every captured notice stays readable in the vault. Improve Productivity: Focus on your work and your content instead of closing endless alert boxes. Granular Control: Configure every notice category separately — send it to the popup or leave it alone. Lightweight & Fast: Admin-only by design. Zero overhead on the front end. ⚡ Key Features Capture & Centralize: Admin notices fired through admin_notices, network_admin_notices, user_admin_notices, and all_admin_notices are captured into a single popup. Per-Type Rules: Configure each of the six notice categories (success, error, warning, info, system, non-standard) to either show in the popup or stay on the dashboard as usual. Admin Bar Counter: A “Notices” item appears in the WordPress admin bar with a live unread counter and a quick preview of your most recent dashboard notifications. Three Popup Styles: Pick between Slide from Right (default), Modal Popup (centered), or Slide from Right (Large) for bigger screens. Mark as Read & Dismiss Notices: Clear notices individually or in bulk, or dismiss them entirely. Read state is per-user, so each admin keeps their own view. Auto-Expire: Notices older than a configurable number of days (default 30, range 1–365) are removed automatically by a daily cron job. Privacy-First: All notices are stored locally in your WordPress database. No external services, no tracking, no phone-home. 🌟 Experience a Distraction-Free WordPress Workflow Whether you manage a network of client sites or simply write on your own blog and are tired of constant upselling, Notice Vault keeps admin notices organized instead of scattered — a professional, quiet, distraction-free place to work. 📌 Built to do ONE Job well Notice Vault is free and independent, with a single focus: giving you back a calm dashboard by capturing the admin notices that clutter it — without touching your site’s frontend or slowing anything down.
