## Installation

 1. Upload the `instant-emoji-reactions` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Display reactions manually with the `[instant_emoji_reactions]` shortcode in posts,
    pages, products, or widgets — or enable **Display Settings** to automatically show
    reactions on selected post types.
 4. Customize emoji reactions and configure automatic placement via **Instant Emoji
    Reactions  Settings** in the WordPress dashboard.

## FAQ

### How do I use the plugin?

Simply activate the plugin, and use the [instant_emoji_reactions] shortcode in any
post, page, product, or widget where you want the reactions to appear.

### How can I add emoji reactions to WooCommerce products?

Simply paste the [instant_emoji_reactions] shortcode into the product description
or short description area inside your WooCommerce product editor. Once added, the
emoji reactions will automatically appear and start working on the product page.

### Can I customize the emoji reactions?

Yes, you can customize the emoji reactions in the plugin’s settings page. You can
choose which emojis to display and configure their behavior.

### Can guest users react to posts?

Yes, guest users can react to posts without needing to log in. The plugin stores
their reactions under a dynamic user ID, which is generated and stored in a cookie.

### How do I use the shortcode in custom pages or templates to show the reactions?

You can use the `do_shortcode()` function in your PHP code to display the reactions
in custom pages or templates.

### Does the plugin work with Gutenberg or other page builders?

Yes, the plugin is compatible with Gutenberg and most popular page builders. You
can add the shortcode using a shortcode block or widget.

### Can I use the reactions on any page, post, product, or custom post type?

Yes, you can use the reactions on any page, post, product, or custom post type. 
Simply add the [instant_emoji_reactions] shortcode to the content or use the do_shortcode()
function in your template files.

### Are the reactions stored permanently?

Yes, the reactions are stored permanently in the database for each post. Guest reactions
are tied to a dynamic user ID stored in a cookie, while logged-in users’ reactions
are tied to their user accounts.

### Can I automatically display reactions without using the shortcode on every post?

Yes. Go to **Instant Emoji Reactions  Settings  Display Settings**, enable **Automatically
display reactions**, choose your post types, and select whether reactions appear
before or after content. If a post already contains the `[instant_emoji_reactions]`
shortcode, automatic placement is skipped for that post so reactions are not duplicated.

### Can I change the position of the reactions on the page?

Yes, you can control the position of the reactions in two ways:

 1. **Automatic display:** In **Display Settings**, choose **Before Content** or **
    After Content** when automatic placement is enabled.
 2. **Manual placement:** Place the shortcode `[instant_emoji_reactions]` in your desired
    location within the post, page, product, or widget content. For more advanced positioning,
    you can use the `do_shortcode()` function in your theme templates.

### Is the plugin compatible with caching plugins?

Yes, the plugin is compatible with most caching plugins. However, if you notice 
any issues with reactions not updating correctly, you may need to exclude the reactions
section from caching or configure your caching plugin to handle dynamic content 
properly.

### Can I use this plugin with other reaction or rating plugins?

While it’s technically possible to use this plugin alongside other reaction or rating
plugins, we recommend testing for conflicts. Some plugins may override each other’s
styles or functionality.

### Does the plugin include analytics for reaction trends?

Yes. The built-in analytics are lightweight and designed to give you quick insights
such as total reactions, tracked posts, and top-performing content without adding
heavy overhead to your site.

### Is advanced analytics available in a premium version?

Yes. **Instant Emoji Reactions Pro** includes unlimited analytics, date filters,
per-emoji breakdown charts, and CSV export. See the **Instant Emoji Reactions Pro**
section above for the full list of Pro features, or open **Instant Emoji Reactions
Pricing** in your admin to view plans.

### How do I upgrade to Instant Emoji Reactions Pro?

Open **Instant Emoji Reactions  Pricing** in your WordPress admin, or click **Upgrade**
on the Plugins screen. After purchase, install and activate Pro, then enter your
license key. The free plugin will deactivate automatically, and your existing reaction
data can migrate to Pro.

It was easy to setup, and the emoji reactions work well on my site. It would be 
nice if the Gutenberg block was included in the free version.

I have been using this plugin for a few weeks. The reactions load smoothly, and 
the settings are easy to understand. It has been a useful addition without requiring
much setup.

I like the lightweight settings and the reaction analytics feature. The plugin works
very well on my blog website and was easy to set up. It's a great way to encourage
reader engagement without affecting performance.

Really like this idea but to have to add the shortcode to all my posts manually 
is a pain so would be good to tick a box to add it to all posts. Also not sure if
its my theme but for me it's rather small.
