RedAction

Reusable Redaction Rules

Everything starts with a reusable Redaction Rule. Create a rule once, choose how it should behave, then apply it anywhere on your website using CSS selectors or the Gutenberg editor. Whether you're protecting a single word, an image gallery, pricing table, or an entire section, the same rule can be reused consistently across multiple pages.

Interactive Click to Reveal

Sometimes visitors should decide for themselves whether they want to view hidden content. Allow individual items to be revealed with a click, reveal every matching item created by the same rule, or display a popup asking visitors whether they'd like to reveal the protected content.

Perfect for spoilers, quiz answers, mature language, hidden tips, premium previews, and educational content where gradual disclosure improves the experience.

Interactive Demos:

Use the selector below to switch between RedAction’s visual redaction styles for the paragraph and image below.

You just clicked this paragraph to reveal its content. This whole paragraph block uses a class name our click to reveal rule applies to.

Any image or block can use the same reusable rule used for the paragraph block above.

You can also apply this rule to single words. For example – click the blurred word : You are awesome! This is a great way to filter some offensive words.

Reusable Notice Templates

Build reusable notice designs that can be shared across multiple Redaction Rules and destination pages. Update the notice once and every connected rule automatically uses the latest version, ensuring a consistent experience across your website.

Perfect for maintenance messages, product launches, premium content notices, legal information, and member-only announcements.

CSS Selector Targeting

Protect almost any element on your website using familiar CSS selectors. Target headings, paragraphs, buttons, pricing tables, product images, galleries, or custom elements created by your theme or plugins.

This gives you the flexibility to protect precisely the content you need without changing how your website is built.

Responsive Design & Animations

Destination notices and interactive reveals work across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Smooth entrance animations help draw attention without becoming distracting, while reduced-motion preferences are respected automatically for improved accessibility.

The result is a polished experience that feels like part of the website rather than an afterthought.

Visual Redaction Modes

Choose how restricted content should appear to visitors. Blur content, cover it with a coloured overlay, replace it with alternative content, or visually remove it from the page entirely. Different rules can use different presentation styles, allowing each scenario to feel appropriate for its audience.

Destination Redactions Example Link

Destination Redactions

Instead of waiting until visitors reach a restricted page, RedAction can notify them before they leave the page they're already viewing. Destination Redactions can automatically intercept internal links leading to protected pages, giving visitors immediate feedback without unnecessary page loads.

This creates a smoother browsing experience while helping explain why content may be unavailable, restricted, or scheduled for future release.

Scheduling & Automatic Release

Control exactly when content becomes visible. Schedule rules to activate automatically, expire after a campaign ends, or reveal content at a specific date and time without requiring manual updates.

Ideal for product launches, seasonal promotions, event announcements, limited-time offers, embargoes, and course releases.

Gutenberg Integration

Apply Redaction Rules directly from the WordPress block editor using the integrated toolbar button. Content remains clearly identified while editing, making it easy to manage protected sections without switching between different admin screens.

Editors can continue building pages naturally while applying consistent protection exactly where it's needed.

True Content Protection. Complete Publishing Control.

RedAction Pro transforms visual content management into genuine content protection. While Lite controls how visitors experience your content, Pro controls whether unauthorised visitors receive it at all. Perfect for premium websites, product launches, confidential information, member content, and situations where simply hiding content isn't enough.

Protected Image Derivatives

Images deserve the same level of protection as text.

Instead of sending the original image and relying on browser effects, RedAction Pro can generate secure blurred image derivatives on the server. Visitors receive only the protected version until the original image is permitted.

This prevents the original image from being recovered through browser tools while still allowing attractive previews for product launches, premium content, photography, artwork, and confidential media.

Role-Based Audience Targeting

Different visitors often need different experiences. RedAction Pro allows rules to target specific WordPress roles, logged-in users, logged-out visitors, or combinations of both. Equally important, roles can be explicitly excluded from individual rules.

This makes it easy to prepare content privately while editors continue working normally, or reveal content to members while hiding it from everyone else.

Custom Coverage Rules

Need even finer control? Create your own server-side coverage filter hooks for bespoke themes, builders, and custom templates. RedAction Pro adapts to your website instead of forcing your website to adapt to the plugin.

This makes the plugin suitable for developers, agencies, and advanced WordPress builds with unique layouts.

Server-Side Content Protection

Visual redaction is often sufficient for scheduled releases and interactive content, but some situations demand stronger protection. RedAction Pro filters protected content on the server before the page is delivered, ensuring unauthorised visitors never receive restricted text or media in the first place.

This makes Pro ideal for premium memberships, confidential documentation, hidden pricing, embargoed announcements, and any content that genuinely needs protecting rather than simply disguising.

Selective Server-Side Coverage

Not every website is built the same. RedAction Pro allows you to choose exactly which areas of your website should be processed by server-side protection, including post content, navigation menus, widgets, excerpts, block output, shortcodes, WooCommerce content, and additional custom output filters.

This provides flexibility for simple blogs through to highly customised WordPress installations while avoiding unnecessary processing.

Strongest Rule Priority

Sometimes multiple rules may apply to the same content. RedAction Pro automatically resolves conflicts by applying the strongest protection level, ensuring important content is never accidentally exposed because of overlapping rules.

This allows administrators to build complex rule systems with confidence, knowing protection always takes priority.

Flexible Visitor Interactions

Choose how visitors interact with protected content.

Allow content to remain permanently hidden, reveal individual items with a click, reveal every matching item at once, or present an optional confirmation popup before revealing protected information.

This makes RedAction equally suitable for spoiler protection, educational content, premium previews, hidden hints, and interactive documentation.
