No. Notes are strictly in text format. HTML is automatically stripped from notes when saved. ### How do I uninstall? Deactivate the plugin, delete if desired. Deactivating does not delete existing notes from the database, so if you reactivate the plug-in later all your notes will be restored. ### Is there a Pro version? Yes. [Notely Pro](https://rocketapps.com.au/product/notely-pro/?origin=notely) has more features. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f2949e1420c186ba7fe9eafb8f5c406b6b29ddebb639e7c7da6f93d39b784643? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple, but very helpful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-but-very-helpful-3/)󠁿 [Martin Sauter](https://profiles.wordpress.org/martinsauter/) April 19, 2022 1 reply May I suggest the following improvements? activate comments on all post types by default add comments to the post list view (currently you need a plug-in like Admin Columns to achieve this) add the comments to the quick edit panel in the post list view ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9335de3226b6ed8babb19a8a48073bac9181c2082d80bb2b9ea745991bec25af? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A simple but useful Plugin.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-simple-but-useful-plugin/)󠁿 [UomoMacchina](https://profiles.wordpress.org/uomomacchina/) June 2, 2020 1 reply Just switched from Post Notes (no longer updated) and very happy. 🙂 I suggest to implement 2 simple feature (from Post Notes): Change the Box Title Ability to put a Notes placeholder for Contributors It also would be useful if there was an “import from Post Notes” feature.

Lets you add notes in a page’s editor. Displays those notes on the “pages” admin page too, so its easy to keep track of things. I’d give it 5 stars if: a) I could edit notes in quick edit b) it worked for custom post types ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c8cfe1de408e8a1ae5577b29255a54d3876c0de42c4ab61490b243b0e34cadab? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very useful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-useful-1051/)󠁿 [joeistoybox](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joeistoybox/) December 25, 2016 Very useful and just what I needed to keep private notes of inventory.
