## Description

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.

#### Key Features

 * **User Reporting**: Visitors can report content with customizable reasons
 * **Comment Reporting**: Visitors can report individual comments, not just posts
 * **Admin Dashboard**: Comprehensive reports management interface with stats
 * **Admin Notifications**: Receive an email every time a new report is submitted
 * **Threshold Actions**: Automatically unpublish or trash a post when report count
   exceeds a limit
 * **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

 1. Install and activate the plugin
 2. Configure settings under **Reports  Settings**
 3. Choose which post types should have reporting enabled
 4. Customize report reasons (or use the built-in defaults)
 5. Visitors can now report content and comments using the report button
 6. Review and filter reports under **Reports**
 7. 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, a honeypot field, and optional Cloudflare
Turnstile / Google reCAPTCHA support for guest reports.

### 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.
