MoonFarmer Reactions Lead Capture

MoonFarmer Reactions Lead Capture helps publishers, creators, and business owners understand how visitors respond to each post, page, or offer, then gives interested visitors a simple way to subscribe.

The free plugin is built to be useful on its own. It includes a front-end reaction widget, inline email capture after positive reactions, CSV export, a settings screen, 30-day analytics, Gutenberg block placement, shortcode placement, per-post overrides, and privacy controls.

MoonFarmer Reactions Lead Capture is not just a like button. It is a lightweight feedback-to-lead workflow for WordPress: visitors react, high-intent reactions can open an email capture prompt, and site owners can see which content creates subscribers.

Useful for business sites

MoonFarmer Reactions Lead Capture is designed for business owners who need simple engagement and lead capture without a heavy CRM setup.

• Learn which service pages, offers, announcements, guides, or blog posts create real interest.
• Capture emails at the moment a visitor shows intent instead of interrupting every visitor with a popup.
• Keep leads in WordPress first, then export CSV when you are ready to move them into another tool.
• Use reaction analytics to spot confusing, helpful, or high-intent content.
• Keep the front end lightweight and mobile-friendly for brochure sites, blogs, local services, creators, and niche publishers.

Why MoonFarmer Reactions Lead Capture is different

Many reaction plugins focus on icon packs and visual customization. Many lead plugins focus on forms and popups. MoonFarmer Reactions Lead Capture connects the two: visitor feedback, consent-aware capture, and useful post-level analytics in one WordPress-native workflow.

The upcoming roadmap focuses on practical business workflows: email provider connections, reaction-based tagging, stronger lead inbox views, provider/webhook sync, anti-spam controls, and clearer widget health checks for cache/CDN/theme issues.

Built for privacy

MoonFarmer Reactions Lead Capture does not need third-party tracking scripts. Reaction deduplication uses a per-site hash derived from request data instead of storing raw visitor IP addresses for reactions. Email capture stores the submitted email, consent timestamp, consent text version, source, post id, and short-lived fraud-review hashes so site owners can review abuse while keeping raw request data out of the database.

Developer friendly

MoonFarmer Reactions Lead Capture exposes WordPress hooks for reaction types, widget data, settings, capture flow, CSV export columns, analytics windows, block/shortcode placement, and Pro-style admin extensions. Hooks are namespaced under moonfarmer_reactions_lead_capture_ so developers can extend the free plugin without editing plugin files.

Source code and build tools

The distributed files in dist/ are generated from human-readable source code. The maintained public source repository is available at:

https://github.com/saintlofi-pirate/pulse-press

The source files for generated JavaScript and CSS are in resources/admin/, resources/widget/, vite.config.js, package.json, package-lock.json, and tsconfig.json in that repository.

To rebuild the generated assets from source:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Run npm install.
3. Run npm run build.

The release archive can be rebuilt with ./scripts/build-release.sh, which installs production PHP dependencies, runs the asset build, and creates the WordPress.org-ready ZIP.
