The plugin's identity has shifted over the day's work — from a notes
pad to a work-logbook with time tracking, earnings, and a Wallet
tile on the v4 roadmap. "WP Notes" undersold what it had become and
collided semantically with WordPress's notes-as-memos connotation;
"WP Logbook" matches both the freelancer use case ("logbook for
clients") and the student use case ("logbook for teachers"), and
matches the exact word the plugin's own About-page intro had been
using all day.
USER-FACING CHANGES
- Plugin Name header: A-WP-Notes → WP Logbook
- Description header rewritten to reflect the work-logbook framing
- Admin menu top-level: WP Notes → WP Logbook
- Admin sidebar submenu: My Notes → My Log (matches new parent —
reads cleanly as "WP Logbook → My Log")
- Admin bar count menu: WP Notes (N) → WP Logbook (N)
- Dashboard widget title: WP Notes → WP Logbook
- Settings page H1: WP Notes Settings → WP Logbook Settings
- Main page H1: WP Notes → WP Logbook
- About page: every brand mention updated; "Go to WP Notes →" CTA
now reads "Go to My Log →" to match the new submenu
- About page version history now leads with v3.2.0 (this release)
as latest, demotes v3.1.0 to the previous entry
- CPT menu_name label: WP Notes → WP Logbook (cosmetic only — CPT
hidden from admin UI since the duplicate-form fix in v3.1.0)
- Migration notice text updated
- Email-feedback subject + body intro updated
- Legacy feedback.php subjects (WP Notes Feedback / Help Request)
→ WP Logbook variants
- error_log() prefix [WP Notes] → [WP Logbook]
ZERO-MIGRATION COMMITMENT — these stay unchanged
- All wp_notes_* function names
- All WP_NOTES_* constants
- All DB option keys (wp_notes, wp_done_notes, wp_notes_settings,
wp_notes_migration_completed, wp_notes_version,
wp_notes_dismissed_empty_active|completed)
- All user_meta keys
- Admin page slug 'wp-notes' (preserves bookmarks, admin-bar
#new-note anchor, and the legacy ?page=wp-notes-create redirect)
- Plugin text domain 'a-wp-notes'
- File and directory names (wp-notes.php, inc/wp-notes-*.php,
assets/wp-notes-banner.jpg)
- Gitea repo name (ranger/a-wp-notes-v3) — David can rename on the
Gitea side separately if he wants
The rename is purely user-facing strings. Existing installs see the
new name appear after a plugin file refresh, with zero behaviour
change. No re-activation needed.
VERSION BUMP
- wp-notes.php header Version: 3.1.0 → 3.2.0
- WP_NOTES_VERSION constant: 3.1.0 → 3.2.0
- CHANGELOG: new [3.2.0] section that bundles the rename with the
post-3.1.0 unreleased work (About-page rewrite, feedback form)
