Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about RangerHQ Buddy

Yes. Buddy is stored per-user in user_meta. Other admins on the same site cannot see your Buddy, and you cannot see theirs.

No. The plugin stores everything in your own WordPress database. The only outbound network call is the update checker which queries the public Gitea release endpoint at git.davidtkeane.com to check for new versions. No personal data is sent.

No. The plugin only loads on admin pages, never on the public front end. It uses inline SVG (no image files) and a small CSS file. There is no JavaScript framework involved.

Not yet. Phase D will add a species picker (dog, dragon, sprite, etc.) but each user will still have one Buddy at a time.

That is Phase E on the roadmap. For now Buddy's stats just persist. Time-based decay is Phase C, interactions are Phase B.

Yes. The plugin is GPL v2 or later and the full source is published on Gitea at git.davidtkeane.com/ranger/rangerhq-buddy. You can inspect every line.
