Frequently Asked Questions

Have more questions? These FAQs might help 

What is a private note in User Registration and Membership plugin?

A private note is a dashboard notice an admin sends to a specific user’s account. Only the people you target — one user, a role, or everyone — can see it.

Can I make a note public instead of private?

Yes. Each note can be sent to specific user individually (private) or to everyone in the site, so you decide per note who can see it.

Can users reply to a note?

Yes, if you enable replies for that note. Replies show up in the Reply Archive, and both admin and user get an email notification.

Can I attach a file to a note?

Yes. Both admins and users can attach files to notes and replies.

Can users see notes meant for other members?

No. Each note is only visible to the audience you selected — a specific user, a role, or everyone, depending on how you set it up.

Can I send a note to multiple users at once?

Yes. Target a note by role, or select multiple specific users, and everyone in that group sees it on their own dashboard.

What file types can be attached to notes and replies?

Any file type supported by your WordPress media library settings. Both admins and users can attach files when creating a note or writing a reply.

Is this different from WordPress’s built-in comments?

Yes. Comments are public and tied to posts. Private Notes are account-level, targeted to specific users or roles, and can be kept private — built for direct admin-to-member communication, not public discussion.

Do I need to set up the user dashboard separately?

No. The User Profile is created automatically when you activate User Registration. Notes appear there on their own — no extra setup required.

Do I need the full membership setup to use this?

Private Notes is an add-on for User Registration & Membership. You need the core plugin active, though you don’t need to set up membership tiers or payments unless you want to.

Send Private Notes, Files and Get Replies Right on the User Profile
