BaqFlo – RedAction

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.

• Hidden tips and bonus content

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.

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.
