About this plugin
Daytime Notes lets authorised users attach notes to specific elements on any page or post. Notes are context-aware, threaded, and support @mentions, task status, and optional email notifications. This plugin is designed for internal collaboration: content review, QA, design feedback, and coordinating changes without long email threads. Daytime Notes was created to address a common communication gap when working with clients and teams — particularly when feedback arrives as vague or fragmented requests that are hard to interpret out of context. Having previously used similar element-based annotation systems, the goal was to bring that clarity into WordPress as a standalone, builder-agnostic tool. By attaching feedback directly to the page elements being discussed, Daytime Notes helps reduce confusion, save time, and keep discussions grounded in the actual content being worked on. It’s shared publicly to support other developers, designers, and teams facing the same challenges. Core Features Element-Specific Notes – Attach notes to any HTML element with visual highlighting Threaded Conversations – Reply to notes and keep discussions in context @Mentions – Mention users with @username to assign responsibility Task Status – Mark notes as completed or reopen them to track progress Email Notifications – Manual “Send Notifications” button plus an automatic 4-hour catch-all; notifications are held until a recipient opts in, then delivered as one summary email Character Limits – Admin-configurable per-note character limit Reviewer Role – A front-end-only “Daytime Notes Reviewer” role for clients, with no access to wp-admin Anyone-Can-Complete Toggle – Optionally let any user complete unassigned notes Notes About Email Notifications (Opt-in) Email notifications are conservative by default — nothing is sent instantly: New notes, replies, and completions are queued as they happen. Pending notifications can be sent immediately at any time using the Send Notifications button in the panel. Pending notifications are also sent automatically every 4 hours as a catch-all. Notifications are only ever sent to a user who has Daytime Notes enabled on their profile — if disabled, the notification stays queued and is delivered as a summary email as soon as they re-enable it. All emails use WordPress wp_mail() . No third-party email service is used unless your site is configured to route mail externally.
