外掛說明

4WP Notifications delivers a unified in-app notification inbox for logged-in WordPress users: a header bell with unread badge, a full notifications page, optional WooCommerce order alerts, and tools for developers to fire notifications from custom code.

A plugin by 4wp.dev. 4WP is our project brand; the letters “WP” appear only as part of that brand name, not as a reference to WordPress. This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by WordPress.

Source code: github.com/4wpdev/4wp-notifications

Key features

Notifications Bell block — dropdown with unread count; add inside a Navigation block (header menu)
Notifications List block — full inbox page with mark read/unread and live polling
Shortcodes — [forwp_notifications_bell] and [forwp_notifications] for classic themes
Direct notifications — admins broadcast to roles and/or individual users
WooCommerce — optional alerts for new orders and status changes
Developer hooks — forwp_notification_event / 4wp_notification_event from PHP
REST API — list, unread count, mark read/unread, and send notifications (authenticated)

Privacy

Notifications are stored in your WordPress database and shown only to the logged-in recipient. Read endpoints require an authenticated user session. Send endpoints require administrator capability (default: manage_options). No data is sent to 4wp.dev.

Development

Human-readable PHP source is in the public GitHub repository above. No npm build step — block editor scripts ship as plain JS in assets/blocks/.

Run tests: composer install && composer test && composer run lint

Blocks

This plugin provides 2 blocks.

4WP Notifications Bell (forwp/notifications-bell) — bell icon and recent notifications dropdown (Navigation child block).
4WP Notifications List (forwp/notifications) — full notification list for a page.

常見問題集

Do visitors see notifications?: No. The bell and list render only for logged-in users.
Can I send a message to all customers?: Yes. Use Direct notifications, select the Customer role (or any role), and send.
Can developers send notifications from custom code?: Yes. Use the PHP hook forwp_notification_event or POST to /wp-json/forwp/v1/notifications (requires manage_options by default). See Documentation in the admin app.
Does WooCommerce require extra setup?: Install WooCommerce, then enable event types under Notification types.
Are shortcodes still supported?: Yes. Blocks are recommended for block themes; shortcodes remain for classic content and menus.
