## Description

**FixSeal is the easiest way to collect visual feedback and bug reports from WordPress
site owners and clients.**

A floating button appears on your site. Click it, draw a box over any problem area,
describe the issue, and submit — your developer or agency gets a rich, actionable
notification instantly. No back-and-forth emails. No vague “the site is broken” 
messages.

Whether you’re a freelancer managing client sites, an agency running dozens of WordPress
installs, or a site owner who wants a direct line to your developer, FixSeal turns
visual feedback into structured fix requests your team can act on immediately.

**Visual User Feedback & Bug Reporting**

 * Draw a selection box over any element on the page — no guessing where the issue
   is
 * 4 request types: Fix a Bug, Improve This, Add Something, Security Concern
 * Urgency levels: Whenever / This Week / URGENT
 * File upload: images, video, PDF — up to 10 MB
 * Built-in screen recording via browser MediaRecorder API
 * Auto-captures full site context: page URL, browser, device, viewport, PHP version,
   active theme, WordPress version
 * All reports saved as private posts in WordPress admin — no external database

**Fix Request Management**

 * Fix Requests dashboard — every submission in one place with full context
 * Rich HTML email notification with screenshot preview, browser info, and site 
   details
 * Submitter receives an instant confirmation email
 * Reply-to is set to the submitter so you can reply directly from your inbox
 * Filter, search, and track status of every request

**Site Health Monitoring**

 * Automatic background checks every 6 hours via WP-Cron
 * Monitors: SSL certificate, PHP errors, site speed, WordPress core updates, form
   health, Elementor status
 * Email alerts when a check changes from OK to warning or critical
 * Status overview on the FixSeal dashboard

**Broken Links & 301 Redirects**

 * Automatic 404 error logging with URL, referrer, and hit count
 * Set 301 redirects directly from the admin — no .htaccess editing needed
 * Admin debug bar on 404 pages (visible to admins only)

**Site Tools**

 * Cache Manager — purge cache from W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, 
   WP Super Cache, Autoptimize
 * One-Click Quick Fixes — clear Elementor CSS cache, flush permalinks, reset Gravity
   Forms locks, clear transients
 * WP-Cron Inspector — view upcoming scheduled jobs, spot overdue or stuck events
 * Fix Report — email a professional site health summary to yourself or your client
 * Server Environment — PHP version, memory limit, WP_DEBUG status, file editor 
   state

**Email Delivery (Free)**

 * Default WordPress mail (wp_mail) — zero configuration needed
 * Custom SMTP — use your own mail server with no external account required

**Optional Pro / Agency add-ons**

Separate add-on plugins and services are available at [fixseal.dmitru.com](https://fixseal.dmitru.com).
They are not required for this WordPress.org plugin to work.

 * **FixSeal Pro add-on** — Mailgun and SendGrid delivery, project-management integrations,
   webhooks, and ticket push workflows
 * **FixSeal Agency add-on** — white-label overlay branding, booking CTAs, central
   client reporting, and multi-site workflow tools

**Developer-Friendly**

 * Zero frontend dependencies — vanilla JS, no jQuery, no React
 * Scoped CSS — no conflicts with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, or the block 
   editor
 * Small JS payload, loads asynchronously
 * Multisite compatible

FixSeal is built for WordPress developers, freelancers, and agencies who want a 
professional, self-hosted alternative to tools like UserFeedback, BugHerd, and Marker.
io. The WordPress.org plugin works without a subscription, without sending client
data to third parties, and without complexity.

### Pro & Agency Add-ons

The free plugin on WordPress.org is fully functional and includes all core features.
For API email delivery, integrations, and agency white-labeling, separate add-on
plugins are available at [fixseal.dmitru.com](https://fixseal.dmitru.com).

**FixSeal Pro add-on** adds:

 * Advanced mail-provider adapters and delivery diagnostics
 * Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, Teamwork, and webhook integrations
 * Automatic and manual ticket push workflows

**FixSeal Agency add-on** adds:

 * White-label overlay branding
 * Booking CTAs in the feedback popup
 * Central client reporting and multi-site workflow tools

The add-ons are installed separately and extend this plugin through WordPress hooks.
No feature in the WordPress.org plugin requires a license key.

### External Services

FixSeal does not send data to third-party services by default. The core plugin stores
bug reports in WordPress and sends email using WordPress mail or the SMTP server
configured by the site administrator.

#### Custom SMTP

This plugin can optionally send notification and confirmation emails through a custom
SMTP server configured by the site administrator.

Data sent through the configured SMTP server:
 – Email recipient and sender addresses–
Email subject and message body – Bug report title, description, metadata, and links
to uploaded files when included in the email

No email is sent through a custom SMTP server unless the administrator selects Custom
SMTP and saves SMTP credentials in the plugin settings. The SMTP service is chosen
by the site administrator and is governed by that provider’s terms and privacy policy.

#### Teamwork

This WordPress.org plugin does not contact Teamwork by itself. A separately installed
FixSeal add-on can optionally integrate with Teamwork (teamwork.com) to allow bug
reports to be sent directly to a Teamwork project as tasks, with optional file attachments.

This integration is only active when the site administrator installs the add-on 
and explicitly configures Teamwork credentials in the add-on settings. It is never
triggered automatically by this WordPress.org plugin.

Data sent to Teamwork by the separate add-on:
 – Bug report title, description, 
and metadata (when creating a task) – Screenshot or attachment files (when file 
upload is enabled) – Teamwork account credentials (API key and site URL, used for
authentication)

No data is sent unless the add-on is installed, the integration is configured, and
a bug report is submitted.

## FAQ

### Does this require an API key or external account?

No. The core plugin works on your own WordPress installation — no FixSeal account,
API key, or subscription required. Optional integrations with external services 
are available only through separately installed add-ons from [fixseal.dmitru.com](https://fixseal.dmitru.com).

### Where are submitted feedback reports stored?

All submissions are saved as private posts in the `fixseal_lead` custom post type,
visible under **FixSeal  Fix Requests** in the WordPress admin. No data is sent 
to FixSeal servers by the WordPress.org plugin.

### Can I control who sees the floating feedback button?

Yes. Under **FixSeal  Settings  Access**, you can show the button to everyone, logged-
in users only, or specific user roles. Ideal for limiting feedback collection to
clients or admins.

### Does it work with page builders?

Yes. All CSS uses the `.fixseal-` prefix. The overlay uses `position: fixed` with
a high `z-index`, compatible with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and the block
editor.

### Will the monitoring checks slow down my site?

No. Health checks run via WP-Cron on a background schedule (every 6 hours), not 
on page loads. There is no performance impact for your visitors.

### Does this affect frontend page speed?

The frontend script is small and loads asynchronously from your own server. No external
scripts are loaded for the base functionality.

### Is this a self-hosted alternative to UserFeedback, BugHerd, or Marker.io?

Yes. FixSeal gives you visual feedback collection, bug reporting, and site monitoring
entirely on your own WordPress server. No SaaS subscription required, no client 
data sent to third parties.

### Is this plugin GDPR-friendly?

Yes. All feedback submissions are stored on your own WordPress installation. No 
data is shared with third-party services by default. If you configure custom SMTP
or install a separate integration add-on, data is sent only according to that explicit
configuration.

### Does the submitter get a confirmation email?

Yes. Every time a fix request is submitted, the submitter automatically receives
a confirmation email acknowledging receipt. The developer’s notification email also
CCs the submitter so replies go directly back to them.
