How did you make your plugin tour?

    Your plugin is great!

    Straight after activation, the site tour was very useful. Looks good and feels easy. I wondered if you could briefly share how you did that, for the benefit of other plugin developers?

    Hey @jakebrumby,

    Thanks for the kind words. Yes this tour has been a great help especially in explaining some of the concepts. It was instrumental in reducing support volume based on new user questions.

    It’s actually implemented using the WordPress wp-pointers library which is included in core.

    Here’s a quick guide I found:
    https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/integrating-with-wordpress-ui-admin-pointers–wp-26853

    There’s lots of other guides and tips around if you Google for wp-pointers.

    You’re welcome to inspect our code as well which shows you how to show them one by one sequentially.

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers,
    Josh
