Recovery Milestone Counter lets registered WordPress members save a recovery start date and view a supportive days-in-recovery counter.
Privacy is built into the core experience:
- A member’s recovery start date is private to their account.
- The profile counter is disabled by default.
- Members can show or hide the profile counter without deleting the saved date.
- Profile visibility can be limited to the member, BuddyPress friends, or all logged-in members.
- Site owners can choose from three polished counter designs in the WordPress settings interface.
- Site owners can optionally make every miniature counter link to a chosen web address.
- Logged-out visitors cannot see profile counters.
- Members can permanently delete their recovery date and related profile settings at any time.
- Recovery data is supported by WordPress personal-data export and erasure tools.
- Site owners can enable milestone notifications, after which members can individually opt in to private email alerts.
- Milestone days are recognized privately inside the main counter.
The plugin stores data in standard WordPress user metadata. It creates no custom database tables, uses no external APIs, and adds no tracking. Optional milestone emails use WordPress Cron and the site’s configured WordPress mail system.
Recovery Milestone Counter provides informational tracking tools only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, emergency services, or crisis support.
