BugPost

BugPost adds a lightweight bug reporting button to your site’s frontend. When clicked, it opens a clean overlay panel where visitors or team members can describe an issue. Browser details, operating system, viewport size, page URL, page load time, and JavaScript console errors are captured automatically — no extra effort needed from the reporter.

Key Features:

• One-click reporting — A “Report” tab on the right side of every page opens a simple form.
• Auto-captured context — Browser name and version, OS, viewport dimensions, page URL, page load time, and console errors are sent along with every report.
• Console error capture — JavaScript errors and unhandled promise rejections are logged automatically and attached to the report.
• Reporter fields — Optional name and email fields let reporters identify themselves.
• Honeypot spam protection — A hidden field traps bots without annoying humans with CAPTCHAs.
• Rate limiting — 3 reports per IP per hour prevents abuse.
• “Me too” duplicate grouping — When multiple reports target the same page, earlier open reports get a +1 count so you can see which issues affect the most people.
• Visibility modes — Choose Beta (logged-in users only) or Public (everyone). Turn it off entirely when not needed.
• Admin dashboard — All reports in a familiar WordPress list table with status badges, reporter info, page URL, and date columns.
• Report detail view — Each report has a full meta box showing all captured context data.
• Status workflow — Mark reports as New, Acknowledged, In Progress, Resolved, or Closed.
• CSV export — Download all reports as a CSV file for use in spreadsheets or external tools.
• Customizable button color — Match the report button to your site’s brand via a color picker.
• Fully translatable — All strings use WordPress i18n functions with the bugpost text domain.

What this plugin does NOT do (by design):

• No external API calls, no tracking, no phoning home.
• No CDN dependencies — all assets are bundled locally.
• No account required to use the plugin.
