Then you provide said client with instructions \u2013 either via printed manual, video tutorials, or even emails \u2013 but no matter how many ways you tell them how to use the site you just made for them, they keep asking you for instructions?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve found this is typically because most clients want instructions that appear \u201cin your face\u201d.  They like immediate answers to their questions \u2013 they don\u2019t want to have to find that file, or search their email for the answers.  It\u2019s much faster for them to just call you and ask what to do.<\/p>\n<p>This plugin solves the issue.  Now there can be no more excuses for not finding the answers you\u2019ve already supplied for them <em>ad nauseum<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h4>Features<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Version 3.0 now has the option of using a custom tab, or the ability to be integrated in the WordPress \u201cHelp\u201d tab.<\/li>\n<li>Due to popular demand, I\u2019ve added in a new feature where you can add a single instruction to multiple pages. <\/li>\n<li>Choose the tab (named by your post title), and the \u201cinstructable\u201d displays the content.\n<ul>\n<li>Content can be a written list of instructions, or some other form of media.<\/li>\n<li>Content can be anything you like, and you can use it just like you would any other post \u2013 the only difference is, this stuff shows up in the back-end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The options page will allow you to set what user level can add\/edit\/delete \u201cinstructables\u201d, as well as allow you to choose whether or not to make the instructions viewable from the front end. You can also choose to make front-end \u201cinstructables\u201d viewable to the public, or only to logged-in users.  You can also give non-logged-in users \u201ccapabilities\u201d to restrict what they see.<\/li>\n<li>You can set what end user level can view which instructions. For example, you don\u2019t want an Author to see the same instructions for \u201cEdit Posts\u201d that an Administrator would see \u2013 it would confuse them. So you can also create content and serve up specific information based on the user level, if you so desire. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Note that upper levels will also see lower-level videos, so keep that in mind while preparing your instructions. I recommend making videos\/content specific to the lowest level first, and then build onto that base as you go up the user-level chain of command.<br \/>\n6.
