About this plugin
Some Plus Report Post is a powerful and easy-to-use plugin that allows your website visitors to report inappropriate, spam, or policy-violating content — including individual comments. Site administrators can review reports, receive email notifications, and automatically take action when reports exceed a threshold.

- Post Type Support: Enable reporting for any public post type
- Rate Limiting: Prevent spam reports with built-in rate limiting
- Guest Reporting: Optionally allow non-logged-in users to report
- Spam Protection: Built-in honeypot plus optional Cloudflare Turnstile or Google reCAPTCHA for guest reports
- Privacy Notice: Show a GDPR-friendly notice inside the report modal
- Data Retention: Automatically delete old reports after a configurable number of days
- CSV Export: Download all reports as a spreadsheet
- Shortcode Support: Place report buttons anywhere with [sprp_report]
- Auto-Append: Automatically add report buttons to post content
- Advanced Filtering: Filter reports by post type, status, item type, reason, and date range
- AJAX Submission: Smooth, no-refresh reporting experience

How It Works
- Install and activate the plugin
- Configure settings under Reports → Settings
- Choose which post types should have reporting enabled
- Customize report reasons (or use the built-in defaults)
- Visitors can now report content and comments using the report button
- Review and filter reports under Reports
- Take action: delete, unpublish, dismiss, or let the threshold automation handle it
Shortcode Usage
Display the report button anywhere:
[sprp_report]
Target a specific post:
[sprp_report post_id="123"]
Add a custom CSS class to the button:
[sprp_report class="my-custom-class"]
For Developers
Some Plus Report Post is built with extensibility in mind:
- Action hook: sprp_report_submitted( $report_id, $post_id, $reason_id, $reason_text ) — fires after a report is saved
- Clean, well-documented code following WordPress Coding Standards
- Namespace SomePlusReportPost\ with SPL autoloader
- All queries use $wpdb->prepare()
Privacy Policy
Some Plus Report Post stores the following data:
- For logged-in users: User ID and report details (post ID, reason, additional note, date)
- For guests: IP address (for rate limiting) and report details
If optional captcha protection is enabled, captcha verification tokens and the visitor IP address may be sent to Cloudflare Turnstile or Google reCAPTCHA for verification. If captcha is disabled, no report data is sent to external servers.
To limit how long data is stored, use the Data Retention setting under Notifications & Automation to automatically delete reports after a set number of days. All stored data is permanently deleted when the plugin is uninstalled.
