Description

WPHelpful is a totally free WordPress plugin that helps your users provide feedback for any pages they visit. It helps you learn if your posts are actually helpful to your visitors.

All you have to do is pick which pages or posts you want to ask for feedback on and WPHelpful appends the feedback widget to the page for you.

There’s no programming required! It works with every WordPress theme, WordPress course plugin, and is ready to use instantly.

WPHelpful is available as a FREE plugin with lots of extra features to help you customize:
* Multiple templates – choose between stars, emojis or simple yes/no.
* Customize everything – choose different wording and colors for the widget text and buttons.
* Unrestricted feedback – view all your user’s detailed feedback.

Nag message on every admin screen

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.
