Easy access of the Genesis What's New Admin overview page – not only on updates but everytime. Makes sense, heh? 🙂

FAQ
Where does the content come from?
The content of the “What’s New” page comes straight from Genesis core! This plugin only hooks in a few links to this already existing admin page.
Why a new meta box on Genesis Settings?
The existing “Information” meta box from Genesis core has not much useful info. The new “At a Glance” box brings more info and links, also for the active child theme.
More info on Translations?
- English – default, always included
- German (de_DE): Deutsch – immer dabei! 🙂
- For custom and update-secure language files please upload them to
/wp-content/languages/genesis-whats-new-info/
(just create this folder) – This enables you to use fully custom translations that won’t be overridden on plugin updates. Also, complete custom English wording is possible with that as well, just use a language file like genesis-whats-new-info-en_US.mo/.po
to achieve that (for creating one see the following tools).
Easy WordPress.org plugin translation platform with GlotPress platform: Translate “Genesis What’s New Info”…
Note: All my plugins are internationalized/ translateable by default. This is very important for all users worldwide. So please contribute your language to the plugin to make it even more useful. For translating and validating I recommend the awesome “Poedit Editor”, which works fine on Windows, macOS and Linux.
