Hello,

Thank you so much for your message and for your kind words about my reactions-plugin. I’m really glad to hear that you find it useful.

I understand that you’re facing an issue with the transparency of the icons when no reaction has been chosen. You mentioned that you have already set the “Select fade method for inactive buttons” to achieve the desired transparency. However, it seems that the fade effect only becomes visible in the WordPress post after selecting a reaction and reloading the page. I apologize for this inconvenience and understand that it’s not the behavior you expected.

Regarding the warnings you mentioned, it’s unfortunate that they are appearing on every WordPress backend page related to the plugin. While they don’t seem to be directly related to your question, I appreciate you bringing them to my attention.

I want to assure you that I take your feedback seriously and I will do my best to investigate and resolve these issues. However, I would like to mention that I am currently quite busy with other commitments, and I develop this project in my spare time. Despite that, I will prioritize looking into the transparency issue and the warnings you mentioned.

Once again, thank you for reporting these concerns, and I truly appreciate your patience. If you have any additional information or details that could help me in resolving these issues, please feel free to share them. I will keep you updated on my progress.

Thank you for your feedback, I mark this thread as resolved.

Hello Patrick,

I published version 4.0.3 yesterday, this should solve the problem.

I added a button to clean the internal plugin cache because the bad behaviour could persist after the update if the cache was active. You’ll find this button as Reactions > General Settings > Performance

I usually gather information using this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/debug-info/

It generates a detailed repost about your WordPress installation and also the server you are using.

Thank you for your feedback, I am going to study a way to integrate a multi-set feature in one of the next releases.

Thank you for your feedback,

regarding the changelog, it is missing for some reason, this version has two main features:

• Integration with WPFORO, a third party Forum plugin;
• Analytics page with a graph with all reactions by month, day or hour.

About the bug, I need a couple of days to investigate since I didn’t have any problem during my tests.

Meanwhile, I have a couple of suggestions for you:

• Avoid is_plugin_active it is unreliable because the plugin path can change in some cases, it is better to check the existence of a class, a constant or a functon.

/**
 * The best way to check if da-reactions
 * is installed and active is the following
*/
if (defined('DA_REACTIONS_VERSION')) {
    /// the plugin is running
}

• Convert your license as soon as possible, I am planning to abandon CodeCanyon and in the future I will update only the Freemius version. You can convert your Envato purchase code to a lifetime Freemius license using this tool: https://www.da-reactions-plugin.com/migrate-from-codecanyon/

I’ll try to figure out what is broken in 4.0.0; any help is appreciated, can you tell me anything about your configuration (PHP version, other installed plugins, any error log from the server)?

Thank you for using my plugin.

<p>Hello, the widget shows a list of content sorted by number of reactions. This widget has five options:</p>

• Title: this is the title of the widget;
• Filter by reaction: choose to a single reaction to select, if you select a reaction that is non used in any of your content the widget will be empty;
• Filter by content type: here you may select post, page, media, comment or any other registered content type, if you choose a content type that does not have reactions the widget will be empty;
• Number of items: how many items to show in the widget;
• Show icon: if you want the reaction icon next to the title in each row;

<p>If your settings are correct (i.e. you checked the right content type and you know that at least one content of that type esists, is published and have reactions, and at least one of those reaction is included in the reaction type you selected) but the widget is still empty, you may try one of those procedure:</p>

1. Disable plugin internal cache<br>
   The plugin has an internal cache system that saves data as file to improve performances, maybe there was a problem invalidating cache at some point and you are having old data.<br>To disable the cache go to Reactions > General Settings > Performance
2. Remove the widget and add it again<br>
   If you created the widget before editing your reactions you may have inconsistend settings (e.g. you are filtering the Like reaction but meanwile you deleted this reaction and even if you added it again it now has a different ID on the database) in this case you can remove the widget and add it again to solve the problem.

If none of thore solves the problem contact me using the support forum.

Hello, the feature you are looking for is not available with this plugin at the moment, since I’ve never thought of integrating reactions with comments.

Maybe I will add something like this in the future, but I don’t know when.

I’m trying to integrate my plugin with wpForo, as you wish.

Since I am not a wpForo expert user (my fault) I need your help.

If you want to test this feature, grab a working copy of DaReactions from the bottom link and give me a feedback. Any help will be appreciated.

I also replied the topic in gVector Forum, the message is awaiting for approval.

Hello, I see that the creators of wpForo already have a Emoticon add-on for their plugin, you can find it here: wpForo Emoticons.

Maybe they are missing a Reaction add-on, so I will work on this integration in the next few days.

Hello Gomle, thank you for appreciating my work.

You have a lot of suggestions, I don’t know if I will be able to adopt all of them.

The click area is a well known problem with small buttons, as I suggested to other users it can be solved adding a little CSS to your pages. Unfortunately I cannot change the default appearance without affecting the old users layouts.

I will recover the text-labels for sure, I agree that they are a distinctive feature; and I am already working on a different load icon, since the spinner is the only thing that cannot be customizad at the moment.

If you like the plugin, please consider adding a positive review: five star would help me a lot.

Hello, I don’t know WPFORO but I see that it has more than 20k active installations, so I will try to integrate Reactions to that forum too.

Keep in touch.

Sorry for the inconvenience, a lot of files gone missing during update. Now it works again.

Hello, I don’t know WPFORO, so the plugin has no integration with it.

What do you need? A simple button swap to leave their like button using DaReactions dashboard or a complete substitution of that part with a custom group of buttons?
