ReviewBar · WordPress plugin · v1.0

Client feedback, pinned to the pixel.

ReviewBar is a WordPress plugin that puts a slim review bar on your staging site. Clients click, pin a note to the exact element, and you see every comment in one sidebar. No client accounts, no monthly SaaS, and nothing ever leaves your database.

  • Secret review link, zero client signups
  • Edit Text mode captures copy suggestions in place
  • Your logo and accent color on the bar, not mine
  • JSON export plus a wp-admin feedback overview

ReviewBar sidebar listing three numbered review notes on a staging site with open status filters and JSON export
How it works

Three clicks to a tidy punch list.

01

Send one link

Flip on link mode and share the secret review URL. Anyone holding it can comment. Everyone else sees a normal site and nothing more.

02

They click and type

Your client clicks Comment, clicks the wobbly headline, types the note. A numbered pin lands on the exact spot, not three scrolls above it.

03

You work the list

Open the sidebar, filter open against resolved, and knock them out. Export the whole list as JSON when you want receipts.

Watch a real review happen.

Recorded live on a client staging build. That logo on the bar is mine; yours goes there out of the box.

What’s in the bar

Everything a review needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

Click-to-pin comments

Numbered pins stick to the element, not the scroll position. Feedback finally points at the thing it means.

Edit Text mode

Reviewers type suggested copy right on the page. The suggestion lives in its own layer, so your real content is never touched.

White-label by default

Upload your logo, set your accent color, and the bar carries your brand. Your clients never hear my name.

Three access modes

Everyone, secret link, or logged-in only. Pick per site. Editors and admins always see the bar either way.

Live sync

Two reviewers on the same page see each other’s notes within seconds. No refresh-button mashing required.

Clean exit

Notes live in your options table, export as JSON, and uninstalling removes every trace. Your database stays yours.

Pricing

Simple yearly pricing.

Both tiers are the full plugin. The yearly part covers updates and support, not a meter on your usage.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

No. Suggested edits live in a separate layer that only people with review access can see. Your posts and pages are never modified. You read the suggestion, apply what you like in the editor, and resolve the note.

Yes, and that’s the whole point. Use everyone mode on a password-gated staging site, or flip on link mode anywhere: anyone who opens the secret review link can comment, and nobody else ever sees a thing.

In your own WordPress options table. Nothing is sent to any external service, there’s no third-party dashboard holding your client’s words, and uninstalling the plugin deletes every note it ever stored.

The bar is desktop-only for now, by design. Visitors on screens narrower than 768px never see it, so a stray phone visit to your staging site stays clean.

A year of plugin updates and support from me, the person who wrote it. ReviewBar is a plugin you install, not a SaaS (software as a service, the rent-forever model), so there’s no monthly meter running while your client thinks about fonts.

Those are hosted services with monthly seats, and they’re good at what they do. ReviewBar is a WordPress plugin: one yearly price, your branding on the bar, and every comment stays in your own database. As of 2026 it’s the simplest way I know to collect staging feedback without asking a client to create yet another account.

Ready when you are

Stop chasing feedback through screenshots and email chains.

Install ReviewBar, send one link, and watch the notes file themselves.
