The plugin has the flexibility of customisation to change the text and labels for the Notes Title and subtitle from the backend settings. The plugin author appears to be very positive about user feedback and requests for support. I have asked him for a solution tip on how to have a button like shortcode placed on the page/place of your choice so that when it is clicked, the Notes window opens . This is to make the pop-up note window open from any place of your choice.Once again, thank you for such a beautiful and efficient plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9afc5b6324a77480ee0d3f528c6ee00a3decf583ebcba3dd2c61ba9dd0e56c0b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Really useful plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/really-useful-plugin-158/)󠁿 [Ateeq Rafeeq](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sweetdaisy86/) जून 21, 2025 Wow that’s a great helpful plugin!
