Plugiva Pulse – Inline Feedback Plugin for WordPress

Description

Plugiva Pulse lets you collect lightweight feedback and quick reactions directly inside your content.

Create structured pulses using yes/no, emoji, or short text questions, or embed inline feedback prompts anywhere using a shortcode. Responses are submitted instantly via AJAX without page reloads.

It is designed to be privacy-conscious, fast, and easy to manage from the WordPress admin without relying on third-party services.

Key Features

• Create and manage pulses from the admin panel
• Embed inline feedback questions directly inside posts and pages (e.g. “Was this helpful?”)
• Support for yes/no, emoji, and custom response types
• AJAX-based submissions (no page reloads)
• Built-in spam protection and duplicate prevention
• Admin responses table with filtering and pagination
• CSV export with post context
• Developer-friendly filters for customization
• Clean uninstall (optional data removal)

Use Cases

• Quick inline feedback inside blog posts
• One-question reactions (e.g. “Was this helpful?”)
• Emoji-based engagement prompts
• Lightweight internal polls

Plugiva Pulse is intentionally focused. It does not try to be a full form builder.

Usage

Inline Feedback (New)

Plugiva Pulse allows you to embed lightweight feedback prompts directly inside your content using a shortcode.

Example:

[ppls_question q="Was this helpful?" type="yesno"]

You can also use emoji-based feedback:

[ppls_question q="How do you feel about this?" type="emoji"]

Inline feedback is designed for quick engagement:

• No page reloads (AJAX powered)
• Duplicate submissions are prevented automatically
• Feedback is stored with post context
• Works seamlessly inside posts and pages

Custom response types can be added using the developer hooks below.

Block

Use the Plugiva Pulse block in the block editor and select a pulse.

Shortcodes

Pulse

[ppls_pulse id="pulse_id_here"]

Replace pulse_id_here with the pulse ID shown in the admin panel.

Inline Feedback

Use inline feedback to collect quick reactions directly inside your content.

[ppls_question q="Was this helpful?" type="yesno"]

You can also use:

[ppls_question q="How do you feel about this?" type="emoji"]

Developer Hooks

Plugiva Pulse provides filters to customize inline feedback behavior and extend response types.

ppls_inline_options

Modify or add custom inline question types.

Each type is defined as an array of key → label pairs.

Example:

add_filter( 'ppls_inline_options', function( $options ) {

    $options['rating'] = [
        '1' => '⭐',
        '2' => '⭐⭐',
        '3' => '⭐⭐⭐',
    ];

    return $options;
});

Use in shortcode:

[ppls_question q="Rate this post" type="rating"]

Note: Validation is handled automatically based on defined options.

ppls_inline_feedback

Modify the feedback message shown after submission.

Example:

add_filter( 'ppls_inline_feedback', function( $feedback ) {

    return [
        'icon' => '✓',
        'text' => 'Thanks for your feedback!',
    ];
});

ppls_inline_hash_window

Control how long an inline session remains valid.

Default is 1 hour.

Example:

add_filter( 'ppls_inline_hash_window', function( $window ) {
    return 600; // 10 minutes
});

Notes

• Labels support safe HTML (sanitized via wp_kses_post)
• Custom types automatically work with validation
• No additional hooks are required for custom answer handling
