# [Plugin: Dashboard Post-it] Update plugin while keeping settings

 * Here’s a noob question. Years ago I coded a simple plugin to display a note on
   the WP Dashboard. I still use it on many of my sites because there is nothing
   as simple and as minimal.
 * I want to update it to mark it compatible with WP3.5 and also to address an issue
   with HTML filtering that somebody once noted in a support thread.
 * However I think I may need to add some code to make sure the settings are kept
   during the update. Can a code wizard help my by looking at this extremely simple
   plugin and giving me some directions on how to do this? I’m just not enough into
   the details of how plugin settings are saved to know this. It should be very 
   straightforward.
 * If you’re a trusted WP plugin developer I can also add you as a developer. I 
   haven’t updated the plugin in years for lack of time but people seem to have 
   found it useful (16 five star reviews).
