Find out what posts logged-in users found helpful.
Have you ever wanted to know about the quality of your posts? At least a little bit?
This is exactly when That Was Helpful kicks in.
This simple plugin lets you track how many logged-in users found individual posts helpful.
<h4>Usage</h4>
What this plugin is all about is providing a means to mark individual posts helpful. Each unique user can vote only once for each post. Of course, cast votes can be retracted.
Actions
In case you want to show the form depending on some (complicated) condition (and not always), simply wrap <code>do_action( 'that_was_helpful', $optional_post_id )</code> in the condition, and put it in your desired template file(s). If you provide an existing post ID as parameter, the according post’s votes are displayed. Otherwise the current post is used.
Filters
In order to customize certain aspects of the plugin, it provides you with several filters. For each of these, a short description as well as a code example on how to alter the default behavior is given below. Just put the according code snippet in your theme’s <code>functions.php</code> file or your customization plugin, or to some other appropriate place.
<code>that_was_helpful_capability</code>
Managing the plugin’s settings is restricted to a certain capability, which is by default <code>manage_options</code>.
<pre><code>/** * Filters the capability required to manage the settings. * * @param string $capability Capability required to manage the settings. */ add_filter( 'that_was_helpful_capability', function() { return 'edit_users'; } ); </code></pre>

If you have a feature request, or if you have developed the feature already, please feel free to use the Issues and/or Pull Requests section.
Of course, you can also provide me with translations if you would like to use the plugin in another not yet included language.

Once activated, this plugin will add an admin notice to every back-end screen asking you to upgrade to their pro version. It is not dismissible.

The developers have confirmed that this is the case too.

Although the guidelines do allow admin notices that "self-dismiss when resolved" (https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/#11-plugins-should-not-hijack-the-admin-dashboard), I really don't feel this is in the spirit of those guidelines. As a result, I've uninstalled the plugin - the notice on every screen is over-bearing and unnecessary (imo).

Plugin developers need to get better at treating their users better - including those that use the free offering, as they are potential, future customers. Annoying them in this way isn't the way to get sales.
