## Description

#### Control How and When Visitors See Your Content

BaqFlo RedAction helps you control how visitors experience your content.
 Create
reusable Redaction Rules, target almost any element using familiar CSS selectors,
and choose from visual effects such as covers, highlights, underlines, blur, replacement
and interactive click-to-reveal behaviour.

Create a reusable Redaction Rule once, target content with familiar CSS
 selectors,
then apply the same behaviour wherever it is needed. Blur text or images, place 
a cover over selected content, visually replace or remove elements, or invite visitors
to reveal protected-looking content with a click or popup message.

RedAction also includes reusable Destination Redactions for coming-soon
 pages, 
temporary notices, announcements, maintenance messages and intercepted links.

Designed to be practical, reusable and easy to manage, RedAction helps
 you create
thoughtful content experiences without rebuilding the same setup on every page.

#### Why Choose RedAction?

### Reusable Redaction Rules

Create a rule once and reuse it across multiple pages, posts and site
 areas. Update
the rule later and every matching location follows the same settings.

### Flexible CSS Selector Targeting

Target headings, paragraphs, images, buttons, containers or complete
 page sections
using standard CSS selectors.

### Interactive Click-to-Reveal

Let visitors reveal one item, reveal every item matched by the same
 rule, or confirm
their choice through a popup message before content becomes visible.

### Gutenberg Toolbar Integration

Apply Redaction Rules directly while editing supported Gutenberg text
 content, 
without manually adding selector classes.

### Reusable Destination Notices

Create styled notices for coming-soon pages, maintenance periods,
 temporary restrictions,
announcements and intercepted destination links.

### Scheduling Built In

Set visual rules and destination notices to activate or expire
 automatically at
the date and time you choose.

### Intelligent Content Classifiers (Pro)

RedAction Pro introduces reusable Content Classifiers that automatically
 identify
content before Redaction Rules are applied.

Instead of manually targeting every item, Classifiers analyse rendered
 content 
and add reusable classification classes that RedAction Rules can target like any
other CSS selector.

Current Content Classifiers include:

 * Dictionary words and phrases
 * Reading Progress
 * Word Count
 * Image and Media Properties
 * Patterns (URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, social handles and
    more)
 * Numbers (currencies, percentages, comparisons and ranges)

The framework is designed to grow over time with additional optional
 Classifiers.

#### Core Features

 * Reusable visual Redaction Rules
 * CSS selector targeting
 * Solid content covers
 * Highlight and underline visual modes
 * Browser-based text and content blur
 * Adjustable image blur
 * Visual content replacement
 * Notice overlays
 * Click to reveal options
 * Gutenberg toolbar integration
 * Reusable Destination Redactions with locked, always-visible and dismissible destination
   modes
 * Automatic inbound-link interception for destination redaction
 * Automatic activation and expiry scheduling

#### Perfect For

RedAction is ideal for:

 * Spoiler warnings
 * Quiz answers and hints
 * Educational reveal activities
 * Sensitive or mature-language notices
 * Product-launch previews
 * Coming-soon pages
 * Temporary announcements
 * Hidden tips and bonus content
 * Staged publishing
 * Interactive marketing pages
 * Content that benefits from visitor confirmation

#### Visual Redaction, Clearly Explained

The free edition uses browser-based visual redaction. Matching content
 can be covered,
blurred, replaced or visually removed, but the original content remains in the delivered
page source.

This makes RedAction Lite a strong choice for presentation, interaction
 and controlled
disclosure. It should not be used as a security system for confidential information.

#### Ready for More? Upgrade to RedAction Pro

RedAction Pro expands the same reusable workflow with genuine
 server-side protection
and advanced publishing controls.

Unlock Pro features including:

 * Intelligent Content Classifiers
 * Server-side protected text
 * Server-side protected images and their urls
 * Protected blurred image derivatives
 * Server-side removal
 * User-role targeting & role exclusions
 * Locked fallback redirects
 * Broader protected-content workflows
 * Future premium enhancements
 * Expandable Content Classifier framework (NEW)

Use RedAction Pro when content must be removed or transformed before it
 reaches
the visitor’s browser, or when access needs to vary by WordPress role.

#### Built by BaqFlo

RedAction is part of the growing BaqFlo family of WordPress plugins.

Our goal is simple: build professional WordPress plugins that are fast,
 thoughtfully
designed and genuinely enjoyable to use.

#### Development Notes

RedAction is written in plain PHP, JavaScript and CSS without a
 JavaScript build
process. The files included in the plugin package are the original human-readable
source files. Some CSS used by the live animation preview is intentionally assembled
inside assets/js/admin.js so the preview can reflect the selected timing and easing
settings at runtime.

## FAQ

### What can I visually redact?

You can target text, images, buttons, containers and complete sections
 using standard
CSS selectors. Supported Gutenberg text content can also be assigned a rule directly
from the editor toolbar.

### Does the free version securely remove content from the page source?

No. Lite redaction modes are visual and run in the visitor’s browser.
 The original
content remains in the delivered HTML or original image URL. Use RedAction Pro when
server-side protection is required.

### Can visitors reveal redacted content?

Yes. Rules can reveal one matched item, reveal every item using the same
 rule, 
or show a popup confirmation before revealing content.

### Can I schedule a rule?

Yes. Redaction Rules can activate and expire automatically using their
 schedule
fields.

### What is a Destination Redaction?

A Destination Redaction is a reusable notice shown when visitors reach
 assigned
content or follow an intercepted link. It is useful for coming-soon pages, maintenance
notices, temporary restrictions and announcements.

### Can Destination Redactions be animated?

Yes. You can choose basic entrance animations, speed and easing settings.

### Can I reuse the same notice on multiple pages?

Yes. Destination Redactions are reusable, so one design and message can
 be assigned
across multiple destinations.

### Does RedAction work with Gutenberg?

Yes. RedAction includes a Gutenberg toolbar control for applying
 reusable rules
to supported text content.

### Can I upgrade later without rebuilding my rules?

Yes. RedAction Pro uses the same core rule and destination workflow, so
 existing
Lite content can continue to be used after upgrading.
