16257	Contextual help for plugin	frankpw		"Contextual help never shows unless I echo it in my added filter.

Excerpt from my plugin:

add_filter('contextual_help', 'fpw_cat_thumbs_help', 10, 3);

function fpw_cat_thumbs_help($contextual_help, $screen_id, $screen) { 
    global $fpw_cat_thumbs_hook;
 
    if ($screen_id == $fpw_cat_thumbs_hook) { 
        $contextual_help = 'My help goes here...'; 
    } 
    return $contextual_help; 
}

That does not work!

function fpw_cat_thumbs_help($contextual_help, $screen_id, $screen) {
    global $fpw_cat_thumbs_hook;

    if ($screen_id == $fpw_cat_thumbs_hook) {

        $contextual_help = 'My help goes here...';

        echo $contextual_help;

    }

    return $contextual_help;

}

That works."	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Administration	3.0.4	normal	worksforme	close
