About MickSystems – Boussole Conformité
From the official readme · v1.5.1Description
Boussole Conformité is a lightweight assistant for WordPress site owners running a micro-entreprise in France. It covers the whole journey, not just the paperwork that comes once a site is live:
- Getting started right — a self-checked “Parcours entrepreneurial” section covering business status thresholds, business registration (SIRET), the ACRE start-up aid, dedicated bank account rules, professional insurance, home-based business lease/insurance checks, the CFE property tax, and often-missed professional training rights. Each point links to an official government source.
- Legal documents — after a short questionnaire, the plugin generates a personalized checklist and drafts your legal notices, T&Cs, terms of use, and privacy policy as WordPress page drafts you review and publish yourself.
- An internal, non-published GDPR processing register (Art. 30), generated from your answers and meant to be printed or kept for your own records.
- Ongoing awareness — the plugin re-checks its plugin detection on every dashboard visit (WooCommerce, payment providers, analytics and cookie tools, even generic “custom code” trackers) and flags a published document for review if your answers or your site’s tools change afterwards.
Boussole Conformité always stays in an advisory role: it informs and points you to official sources, it never replaces a lawyer or accountant, and it never publishes anything on your behalf.
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/micksystems-boussole-conformitedirectory, or install through the WordPress plugins screen. - Activate the plugin.
- Answer the short questionnaire that appears on your dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Does this replace legal advice?
No. Boussole Conformité informs and guides, it is not a substitute for a lawyer or accountant. When in doubt, please consult a qualified professional.
Does it track whether I actually completed the pre-launch steps (business registration, insurance, etc.)?
No. The “Parcours entrepreneurial” checklist has no way to verify these off-site steps automatically, so you check them off yourself once you’ve handled them. The plugin never assumes something is done on your behalf.
Changelog
1.5.1
- Fix: the 1.5.0 prefix rename accidentally renamed the “bc-questionnaire” and “bc-registre” CSS classes and element IDs too, since those strings were also (coincidentally) used as script/style handles. The stylesheets were intentionally left untouched during the rename, so the questionnaire grid and the processing register lost their layout entirely. Reverted the CSS classes and IDs back to “bc-“; the script/style handles and admin page slugs correctly stay “mickboco-“.
1.5.0
- Fix (WordPress.org review): the “bc”/”BC_” prefix used on all classes, functions, constants, the option name, transients, script/style handles, localized JS objects, and admin-post actions was too short (under 5 characters) and could collide with other plugins. Renamed everywhere to “mickboco”/”MICKBOCO_”, consistent with the reviewer’s own suggested example. Note: because the saved-data option key itself was renamed as part of this fix, existing installs will start with a blank profile after updating — this is a one-time reset caused by the required renaming, not a bug.
1.4.0
- Change: plugin slug renamed to “micksystems-boussole-conformite”, consistent with the WordPress.org slugs of the other Mick Systems plugins (micksystems-droit-de-retractation-for-woocommerce, micksystems-livre-de-recettes). The folder name, main plugin file, and text domain were all updated accordingly. If you’re upgrading from an earlier version, deactivate the old “boussole-conformite” folder and install this one fresh — your saved data (stored in a single wp_options entry, unrelated to the slug) is preserved either way.
1.3.4
- Change: plugin listing name updated to “MickSystems – Boussole Conformité”, for consistency with the naming convention used across the other Mick Systems plugins. The slug, text domain, and the in-app dashboard widget title (kept short on purpose) are unaffected.
1.3.3
- Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.1 “Mary Lou” — the plugin only ever generates standard core Gutenberg blocks (paragraph, heading, list, table, separator, quote), so it is unaffected by 7.1’s enforced iframe editor mode and Block API v3 requirement, which only concern custom-registered blocks.
- Housekeeping: synced the plugin header description with the current, broader scope of the plugin (it had been left over from before the “Parcours entrepreneurial” section was added).
1.3.2
- Improvement: the “SIRET obtenu” explainer now reassures that a mistake noticed after registration is almost never permanent — most company details are corrected for free through a follow-up formality, while fiscal options like the versement libératoire go through a separate channel with their own deadlines.
