Frequently asked questions
Who can see and edit the note?
Administrators (manage_options) and Super Admins in Multisite.
Can I use HTML?
Yes. HTML is allowed but strictly sanitized.
Why does it show in English even though my site is in another language?
WordPress 6.5 introduced a major upgrade to how plugin translations are loaded natively. On WordPress versions older than 6.5 (like 6.2 or 6.4), the translation engine can sometimes fail to intercept the widget rendering in time, falling back to English. For perfect internationalization support, updating to WordPress 6.5+ is required.
