This plugin adds a text editor area to each User Profile in the dashboard for Administrators to keep private notes about each User. The notes are ONLY visible to Administrators -- that's the whole point! It also adds a column to the "All Users" list where you can quickly see the note for the user without having to even open their profile.

It is especially handy for Membership Sites where you may have thousands of members to deal with and need to remember special circumstances for them.

• Users list column now shows separate note-count and starred-count bubbles instead of an excerpt

All you'll need to do to get this setup is:

1. Install and Activate the plugin
2. Visit any Users Profile page when logged in as an Administrator. There you will see a section for "User Notes". Update your notes for that user and save their profile.

That's it!
