Customizable Reasons: Define your own report reasons
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
Accessible: WCAG 2.1 compliant modal with focus trap and keyboard navigation
Translation Ready: Fully internationalized

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.

FAQ

Can guests report content?

Yes, you can enable guest reporting in the settings. Guest reports are tracked by IP address for rate limiting purposes.

Can visitors report comments?

Yes. When comment reporting is active, a Report button appears below each approved comment automatically. Reports are tracked separately for posts and comments.

How do I customize the report reasons?

Go to Reports Settings and scroll to the “Report Reasons” section. Add, edit, or remove reasons as needed. If you save custom reasons, the default reasons are replaced entirely.

Can I use this with custom post types?

Yes. Any public post type registered on your site appears in the settings, and you can enable reporting for any of them.

How do I receive email notifications for new reports?

Go to Reports Settings Notifications & Automation, enable Admin Email Notification, and enter the email address you want to notify.

What is the Threshold Action?

When the number of pending reports for a post reaches the configured count, the plugin can automatically: move the post to draft (Unpublish), send it to trash, or just send you an urgent email without touching the post. Each post only triggers this once.

How do I reset the threshold for a post?

Delete the _sprp_threshold_triggered post meta from the post. You can do this under the post editor’s Custom Fields panel, or via WP-CLI: wp post meta delete <post_id> _sprp_threshold_triggered

Is the plugin GDPR compliant?

The plugin stores IP addresses (for guest rate limiting) and report details. You should mention this in your privacy policy. Use the Data Retention setting to automatically delete old reports after a set number of days. All data is permanently removed when the plugin is uninstalled.

You can also enable a Privacy Notice in settings to display a note inside the report form.

Can I export reports?

Yes. Click the Export CSV button on the Reports page to download a spreadsheet of all reports. The export respects the filters currently applied, so you can export only pending reports, or only reports from the last 30 days, etc.

Can I style the report button?

Yes. The button uses the class sprp-button and the wrapper uses sprp-wrapper. Add CSS to your theme’s stylesheet or via Appearance Customize Additional CSS.

How do I prevent spam reports?

The plugin includes built-in rate limiting (configurable maximum reports per user or IP per 24 hours) and a honeypot field that silently blocks automated form submissions.

What happens when I deactivate the plugin?

Reports and settings are preserved. Only scheduled cleanup events and transient caches are cleared. Data is removed only when you permanently delete (uninstall) the plugin.

What happens when I uninstall the plugin?

The reports database table, all plugin options, and the admin capability are permanently removed. This cannot be undone.
