LanternHQ Bug Reporter

LanternHQ Bug Reporter is a lightweight plugin that makes it effortless to add the Lantern bug reporting widget to any WordPress site. No code editing required — simply paste your embed key from the Lantern dashboard, save, and the widget is live for every visitor.

How it works

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Go to Settings → Lantern in your WordPress admin.
3. Paste your embed key and click Save Embed Key.
4. The Lantern widget is now active on every public page of your site.

What gets added to your site

The plugin loads a single, lightweight script from https://lanternhq.app/api/widget/script on every public page. Your embed key is passed to the script to identify your Lantern workspace. No server-side requests are made — the script is fetched entirely by the visitor’s browser.

Features

• One-field setup — just your embed key.
• Zero impact on page load — deferred script injection.
• Clean uninstall — removing the plugin stops all widget output immediately.
• No external requests from the server; the script is loaded entirely by the visitor’s browser.

External Services

This plugin connects to the Lantern bug tracking service (lanternhq.app) to enable the bug reporting widget.

When the plugin is active, it loads a JavaScript file from https://lanternhq.app/api/widget/script on all frontend pages. The embed key configured in the plugin settings is passed to this script to identify your Lantern workspace. Bug reports submitted by users are sent to the Lantern API.
