The About page had been showing "Version 2.0.3 (Current)" while the
plugin reports v3.1.0 — the on-page version log was years behind
the actual changelog. Both the About and Version History sections
were also hidden behind onclick=toggleSection() buttons by default,
which is anti-UX for a page users specifically navigate to in order
to READ content.
Rewrote the left column as three plain cards using the same visual
rhythm as the side-by-side intro row that landed earlier today:
1. What WP Notes does — two paragraphs of prose
2. Who it's for — clean bulleted list (dropped the "Teachers ←
Email Notifications" entry since that feature isn't implemented
in v3.x; the claim was misleading)
3. Version history — compact, accurate, latest-first summary:
v3.1.0 (latest, with "latest" pill) → v3.0.2 → v2.x → v2.0.0.
Plus a "View the full CHANGELOG.md →" link to the canonical
history on Gitea so the on-page summary stays small.
Also fixed:
- Removed redundant duplicate paragraphs ("WP Notes is a versatile
plugin that caters to a wide range of users" appeared twice in
two consecutive lines).
- Removed invalid HTML (bare <li> outside <ul>, <p> wrapping <li>).
- Removed a buried banner image + buried Buy-Me-A-Coffee that
were inside the hidden-by-default Version History toggle —
visible to no-one. Both already exist in better positions on
the page.
Added CSS classes for the new cards (.wp-notes-about-card,
.wp-notes-about-card--versions) including a green "latest" pill
on the current version and monospaced version labels in the
plugin's blue.
Right-column feedback box unchanged. toggleSection() helper kept
(still referenced by the feedback form's submit handler — its
broken behaviour is a separate Tier 2 problem).

The "Create WP Note" submenu was misleadingly narrow — that page is
the central dashboard (create form + active list + completed list +
edit + restore). Renamed to "My Notes" to match the WP-native
"Posts → All Posts" pattern and reflect that users land there for
everything, not just creation.
"About WP Notes" → "About": the WP Notes brand is already carried by
the parent menu, so the submenu can be plain-spoken.
CHANGES
- wp-notes.php: WP Notes submenu "Create WP Note" → "My Notes"
- wp-notes.php: Tools menu shortcut "Create WP Note" → "My Notes"
(same target page)
- wp-notes.php: WP Notes submenu "About WP Notes" → "About"
- wp-notes.php: callback docblock updated to reflect new name
- inc/wp-notes-about.php: page H1 trimmed to match the Tier-1 style
on the main page (h1 "About" + version chip + wp-header-end hr),
replacing the previous "Welcome to WP Notes About Page v3.0.2"
- inc/wp-notes-about.php: removed a redundant nested
<div id="header"> with display:none that was dead markup leftover
from an older layout

The banner image was the first thing under the page title on the
Create-Note page — taking significant vertical space before the user
saw the textarea. The Create-Note page is for *doing*, not for
*reading-about*.
CHANGES
- Banner removed from wp_notes_page_callback() — Create-Note page
now opens straight into the form.
- Banner added to the top of the About page in a new side-by-side
row: image on the left capped at 320px wide (not full-bleed), and
a short intro paragraph + "Go to WP Notes →" CTA on the right.
Stacks vertically on narrow screens via flex-wrap.
- The side-by-side block lives in its own .wp-notes-about-intro
container so it doesn't tangle with the rest of the About page's
pre-existing nested toggles (those are still on the Tier 2 list).
- .wp-notes-header-banner / .wp-notes-banner-img CSS removed from
wp-notes-styles.php — no longer referenced anywhere.

Imports the v3.0.2 line of A-WP-Notes as it existed on M5 at:
Local Sites/wordpress/public/wp-content/plugins/a-wp-notes/
This is a deliberately minimal parallel fork of the plugin, distinct
from the v1.2.0 line in ranger/a-wp-notes. It carries only the core
note-taking functionality:
wp-notes.php — plugin bootstrap + admin UI
inc/wp-notes-display.php — note rendering
inc/wp-notes-about.php — About page
inc/wp-notes-feedback.php — feedback module
inc/wp-notes-styles.php — style enqueues
inc/wp-notes-updater.php — self-hosted updater stub
inc/admin-bar.php — admin bar integration
js/wp-notes-feedback.js — feedback front-end
js/Chart.js — charting (bundled)
assets/wp-notes-banner.jpg — plugin banner
The AI ecosystem (chat, personalities, MCP), speed-test system, OS info
pages, and the bulk of the v1.2.0 / v2.0.x feature surface are
intentionally absent — this fork was created by copying the plugin to a
second WP install and trimming back to a lighter baseline.
Archived for comparison and parallel-line testing. No further development
is planned on this line; the active line continues at v1.2.0 in
ranger/a-wp-notes.
