TrueProof

TrueProof turns supported recent activity on your site into notification bubbles. Real Data Mode can display recent WooCommerce orders and approved comments/reviews; Pro adds Easy Digital Downloads sales and new-user registrations. Start with the free WooCommerce workflow: install the plugin, open Settings → TrueProof, select Real Data and WooCommerce orders, review Fully anonymous output, then enable and save. A recent Processing or Completed order must be inside your look-back window. No hosted activity-feed account or payment card is needed for this Free path. The illustrated WooCommerce setup checklist shows the actual 2.4.0 interface with synthetic fixtures. It includes public-field checks, cache behaviour and troubleshooting rather than a promised sales increase. The widget is disabled after a new installation until you review its sources and enable it. Use Simulation Mode only to design and preview notifications with sample data; its visible “Demo” badge is always shown. Use Real Data Mode to display supported records from enabled sources on your site. Data modes

• Real Data Mode reads supported records from WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, user registrations and approved comments/reviews.
• Simulation Mode is for previewing only. A visible "Demo" badge is always shown on simulated notifications.
• Site owners control the displayed sources and remain responsible for configuration, disclosures and legal compliance.

Features (free)

• WooCommerce order notifications
• Recent approved comment / review notifications
• Simulation Mode with a visible "Demo" badge that is always shown
• Fully anonymous display (“Someone”, with no location) is the default for new installs; shortened or full names remain available for sites that have an appropriate basis
• Vanilla-JavaScript frontend with no jQuery dependency; measure page impact with your own theme and plugins
• Position, accent colour and timing controls; free display scope is all eligible pages or the front/posts page
• Results cached server-side; events served over the REST API
• No built-in analytics or advertising integrations. The widget fetches event data from this site's REST endpoint; licence requests use the data flow disclosed under Privacy

TrueProof Pro The free plugin includes WooCommerce order notifications, approved comment/review notifications, Real Data and Simulation modes, core appearance and timing controls, and all-pages or front/posts-page display. TrueProof Pro unlocks:

• Easy Digital Downloads sales notifications
• New-user signup notifications
• Display rules — limit notifications by supported contexts (front/posts page, blog posts, pages, WooCommerce products and archive views)
• Activation on multiple sites, subject to the purchased plan's site limit
• Priority email support during the paid licence period

Pro is activated with a license key from wptrueproof.com. Activating a key validates it with our store — see Privacy below. Privacy The order, user and comment records used to build notifications are read from your own WordPress site and are not sent to TrueProof. New installs default to “Someone” with no city/country; shortened and full-name modes are optional. See the FAQ for the exact data shown. During normal use without licence activation, the plugin's own code does not call a third-party service; the widget requests notification data from this WordPress site's REST endpoint. Entering a licence key, periodic validation while it is active, or deactivation posts the licence key, home URL and requested action to wptrueproof.com. The built-in request body does not include notification-source records. Standard network metadata is also received by the licensing service.

1. Upload the trueproof folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install via Plugins → Add New.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Go to Settings → TrueProof, choose Real Data Mode or a clearly labelled Simulation preview, pick your data sources, review the public fields, enable the widget, and save.

The setup check reports how many eligible real events match the selected sources and look-back window before you publish the widget. For a step-by-step source, privacy and placement check, use the illustrated WooCommerce guide. Existing paid users should consult the Pro installation and migration guide before changing plugin versions.

2.4.0

• Added a fully anonymous privacy mode that shows “Someone” and never exposes city/country; it is the default for new installations.
• Existing sites retain their previous shortened-name or full-name output until an administrator changes the new privacy control.
• Added an optional, non-incentivised review request only after at least seven days of successful Real Data use; dismissal state stays on the WordPress site and review clicks are not tracked.

2.3.0

• Added a setup-first dashboard with source, eligible-event and publication checks.
• Added a safe in-admin notification preview that is explicitly labelled Demo.
• Shows troubleshooting guidance when no eligible real events are available.
• Moved licence and Pro information below the core Free configuration so new users can reach value first.
• Replaced the pre-activation upgrade prompt with a direct setup action.

2.2.2

• Added an explicit disabled-by-default widget switch, made Real Data the new-install default, and always labels Simulation Mode.
• Reworded sample events and suppresses email-shaped values from public display names.
• Clarified the public fields and privacy controls in settings and documentation.

2.2.1

• Clarified source attribution, Simulation Mode guidance and privacy wording. Data sources and plan behaviour are unchanged.

2.2.0

• New Pro feature: display rules — limit notifications by selected contexts (front/posts page, blog posts, pages, WooCommerce products and archive views).
• Added a single, dismissible upgrade hint on the dashboard and plugins screens.

2.1.0

• New: TrueProof Pro license activation (Settings → TrueProof → License).
• Free now includes WooCommerce orders, reviews and Simulation Mode; Easy Digital Downloads and new-user signup sources moved to Pro.
• Pro license validates against the TrueProof store (clearly disclosed in Privacy and the FAQ).
