Interesting idea, Manny. Which screens would you want to be able to add contextual help to?

Cheers,

Ade.

Would love to see “contextual help customization” as a plugin, whereyou can edit the text or even add html to it.

Thanks for posting this. Yep, things can move fast when close to a final release.

It looks like they have updated it once again to have the new functionality while being backwards compatible. apply_filters('contextual_help', $contextual_help, $screen->id, $screen); Also remember to include the number of parameters your function accepts when registering:

add_action( 'contextual_help', 'my_admin_help_function', 10, 3 );
function my_admin_help_function($contextual_help, $screen_id, $screen) { ... }
