Post Descriptions Plugin

What does it do?

Post Descriptions lets you add descriptions to posts and pages, which lets you do things like add small to-do’s or don’t-forget’s for your team members or yourself.

How does it work?

Adding post descriptions
Post descriptions can be added from two places:
1. The Edit screen
2. The Quick Edit screen

Checking Post Descriptions
You can check your post descriptions in two places:
1. In the column from your posts or pages admin overview
2. As a post state (the bold text next to your page or post title)

Enabling/disabling Post States
When you add longer descriptions, your admin might get a bit cluttered. In those cases you could disable showing post descriptions in post states with a simple checkbox.

Installation

After installing the plugin, you will only see a column added on the posts and pages admin screens. If you go to Settings > Post Descriptions, or click Settings on the Plugins page, you\’ll find a single option to turn on Post States. When you enable them, you\’ll see the description in bold after the page or post title.

1. 

   Add longer descriptions to the extra Post Descriptions column

2. 

   Show small descriptions/to-do\'s by using Post States

3. 

   A super easy and lightweight setup so you can start right away
