## Description

Backing U Wellbeing Assessments provides a configurable assessment builder for organisations
that want to publish educational wellbeing self-checks on WordPress.

The free WordPress.org edition includes:

 * Unlimited manually created assessments.
 * 10 ready-to-use starter assessments.
 * Configurable numeric scales, question weighting and per-question safety triggers.
 * Multiple score/result bands with detailed explanations and recommended next steps.
 * Optional safety override result content for assessments where individual answers
   require special handling.
 * Organisation branding, colours, logo and referral CTA settings.
 * Shortcodes for Gutenberg, Elementor and most page builders.
 * Optional participant email delivery using WordPress `wp_mail()`.
 * Optional, explicit consent-based anonymous quality/research sharing to an email
   address controlled by the site owner.
 * Assessment Page Creator for generating normal WordPress pages around assessment
   shortcodes.
 * No artificial assessment-count limit.

The included starter assessments are educational self-reflection tools. They are
not presented as validated clinical diagnostic instruments.

A separately distributed Pro edition is available from Backing U with additional
workflow automation. The free WordPress.org edition does not contain disabled or
paywalled Pro functionality. Information about the separate Pro product is available
from the plugin’s **Pro Version** admin page.

### Privacy

Assessment scoring is performed in the visitor’s browser. The plugin does not create
a WordPress database submission containing participant answers, names or email addresses.

If a visitor chooses to email a result to themselves, the information they provide
is sent to the WordPress server and processed through `wp_mail()` for that requested
delivery.

If the site owner has configured an organisation quality/research email and the 
visitor separately opts in to anonymous sharing, the plugin can send a de-identified
copy of the assessment responses/result to that organisation-controlled email address.
This consent is separate from the participant’s own result-email option. The anonymous
copy excludes the participant’s entered name and email address.

This WordPress.org edition does not send assessment data to Backing U or another
fixed external research recipient.

Site owners should disclose their own email, hosting, analytics, security and privacy
practices in their site privacy policy.

### External services

This plugin does not require a Backing U API or external service to render or score
assessments. Participant email delivery and optional organisation-owned anonymous
sharing use the WordPress site’s configured mail system via `wp_mail()`.

The **Pro Version** admin information page contains a normal external link to `https://
backingu.com.au/development-hub/` that is visited only if an administrator clicks
it. No data is sent to that URL automatically.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin ZIP through **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin**, or install
    it from the WordPress Plugin Directory when available.
 2. Activate **Backing U Wellbeing Assessments**.
 3. Open **Backing U Assessments > Brand Settings** and replace the example organisation
    details with your own.
 4. Review the included starter assessments before publishing them.
 5. Copy an assessment shortcode into a WordPress page or use **Assessment Pages** 
    to create pages automatically.

## FAQ

### Are these clinical diagnostic tests?

No. The supplied starter assessments are educational wellbeing self-checks. Site
owners are responsible for reviewing the wording, scoring, safety information and
suitability of any assessment they publish.

### Is there an assessment limit in the free edition?

No. You can create unlimited assessments manually.

### Does the plugin store participant responses in WordPress?

The standard assessment flow does not create a WordPress database record containing
participant responses. Optional email/share actions are processed only when selected
by the visitor.

### Can I use it with Elementor?

Yes. Paste the assessment shortcode into Elementor’s Shortcode widget, or use the
Assessment Page Creator.

### What is the Pro Version page?

It is an informational admin page linking to a separately distributed commercial
edition with additional workflow automation. No Pro feature is included and artificially
disabled in this WordPress.org edition.
