## Description

Create your own category-controlled ‘Top Tip’ to display next to relavant posts.

Display you favourite top tip next to a post with the same category. If you have
more than one tip in the matching category the chosen top tip will be a random selection
from all within that category. It’s also possible to specify the top tip by id in
a shortcode. An optional feature is to add a link to another post containing further
information about your Top Tip.

### From within WordPress

 1. Visit Plugins -> Add New
 2. Search for ‘Top Tips’
 3. Activate Top Tips from your Plugins page

### Manually

 1. Upload the directory `top-tips` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Set the colours and icon via Top Tips > Top Tips Settings.
 4. Create some new top tips and assign them to one or more categories.
 5. Add the shortcode [top-tips] to your posts or in a template file `<?php echo do_shortcode('[
    top-tips]'); ?>`.
 6. Remember your post needs to be assigned to the same category as the Top Tip for
    the tip to display.
