Installation Instructions

Manual Installation

1. Upload the entire /user-feedback directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate User Feedback through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Visit the front-end to submit feedback
4. Watch your inbox

How can I enable the plugin for guests too?

You can configure where the User Feedback tool should be loaded in ‘Settings’ -> ‘General’. It’s possible to show it for guests and also inside the WordPress admin.

How can I leverage this tool in my own plugin?

If you’re a developer, you may want to support User Feedback in your own plugin. For example, if you have a custom settings page and want to load the plugin there, just add the following snippet on that screen:

do_action( 'user_feedback_init', array(
    'name'      => 'My Awesome Plugin',
    'data'      => array(), /* some additional debug data */
    'recipient' => '[email protected]', /* your email address */  
) );

This snippet registers your plugin properly so the User Feedback plugin gets loaded on that screen. If the user now submits some feedback, the email gets sent to you, including the debug data you provide. How awesome is that!

How can I change the wording inside the tool?

This is possible by leveraging the user_feedback_script_data filter. For example, you can change the message after submitting the feedback like this:

/**
 * Modify the script data passed to the user feedback tool.
 *
 * This example function changes the message shown after submitting feedback.
 *
 * @param array $data User Feedback script data.
 *
 * @return array
 */
function custom_user_feedback_script_data( $data ) {  
    $data['templates']['wizardStep5']['intro2'] = '– awesome company';  

    return $data;
}

add_filter( 'user_feedback_script_data', 'custom_user_feedback_script_data' );

What else can I do with this plugin?

You can dig into the source code and the wiki on GitHub if you’re interested in that.
