Display custom message on wordpress admin
In some point of view when we developed a custom WordPress plugin or theme, we have to notify users for any urgent update, error or any custom message on WordPress admin section. All this done by admin_notices hook function.
In this post I am going to create a simple plugin to display custom message, but if you want then you can do it with functions.php file. But displaying a message every time is irritating the user, so in this plugin i also gives the functionality to hide your custom message with the Hide this notice button. This button completely hide your notice.
[php]
/**
* Plugin Name: Omnizz Custom Dashboard Message
* Plugin URI: http://webomnizz.com
* Description: Small Plugin to Create Custom Dashboard Message.
* Version: 0.1

class OCDashboard{
public function __construct() {
add_action( 'admin_print_styles', array( $this, 'omAdminNotices' ) );
}
public function omAdminNotices() {
$display = get_option( 'om_cdm_settings' );
if( ! empty( $_GET['om_hide_notice'] ) ){
update_option( 'om_cdm_settings', $_GET['om_hide_notice'] );
return;
}
if( $display != 'true' ){
wp_enqueue_style( 'om_notice_style', plugins_url( '/om-dashboard-message/assets/css/custom_style.css' ) );
add_action( 'admin_notices', array( $this, 'customDashboardMessage' ) );
}
}
public function customDashboardMessage(){
?>
<div id="message" class="updated custom-welcome-panel-content wc-connect">
<h3><?php _e( 'Welcome to your custom dashboard Message!' ); ?></h3>
<div class="button_section">
<a class="button-primary" href="<?php echo add_query_arg( 'om_hide_notice', 'true' ); ?>">Hide this notice</a>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}
}
$init = new OCDashboard();
