Lightweight, per-post/page admin notes. Adds a simple metabox on edit screens and a tiny "Note" column in the list table. No menus. No nags.

== Description ==
**Beckin Post Notes** gives editors a fast, private way to attach notes to individual *posts/pages*, right where they work. Notes are stored as post meta and only visible to users who can edit the post.


**Why it’s unique**
1. Most "notes" plugins add *global dashboard notes*. This one is **contextual** — notes live *on the post or page itself* and appear in the list table.
2. **Zero clutter:** no admin menus, no persistent banners, no database tables.
3. **Clean and compliant:** sanitized input, nonces, capability checks, no direct SQL.


**Features**
- Side metabox labeled automatically (e.g. "Post Note" or "Page Note").
- "Note" column in the list table with a 🗒️ icon when a note exists.
- New **filter dropdown**: quickly show only posts *with* or *without* notes.
- Only users who can edit the post can view or edit its note.
- Extendable: use `beckin_postnotes_supported_post_types` to enable notes on custom post types.

**Example**:
`add_filter( 'beckin_postnotes_supported_post_types', function( $types ) {
    $types[] = 'your_custom_post_type';
    return $types;
} );`


== Installation ==
1. Upload the `beckin-post-notes` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
3. Edit any post or page and use the **Post Note** box on the right side.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Can I enable this for custom post types? =
Yes. Add a small snippet in a theme or mu-plugin:
`add_filter( 'beckin_postnotes_supported_post_types', fn( $types ) => array_merge( $types, [ 'your_cpt' ] ) );`

= Where can I view existing notes? =
In the **Posts** or **Pages** list table — look for the note icon under the **Note** column, or filter by "Has Note" / "No Note".
