CloudAnts Image Moderation Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
CloudAnts Image Moderation hooks into WordPress’ core upload handling to
automatically scan every image upload — media library, WooCommerce review
photos, bbPress/BuddyPress attachments, or anything else built on
wp_handle_upload — against a CloudAnts moderation policy, without you
writing a line of integration code.
Policies available:
- General Marketplace — blocks explicit exposure, flags breast/buttocks exposure (swimwear/fashion photos are common and shouldn’t auto-block).
- Dating Profile Photos — same block thresholds, more lenient flag threshold for breast/buttocks exposure.
- Classifieds Strict — no flag tier; any exposure above a low threshold is blocked outright.
- Custom — your own per-category thresholds, configured from your CloudAnts dashboard.
What happens to a flagged or blocked image is configurable from the
plugin’s Settings page:
- A block decision is always rejected — the upload fails immediately with a clear error, and the file is removed.
- A flag decision can be set to:
- Notify admin only (default) — the upload proceeds, but the site admin is emailed and alerted in wp-admin.
- Quarantine — the upload succeeds but stays hidden (private) until an admin approves or rejects it from the Moderation Log page.
- Reject — treated the same as a block.
Requirements
This plugin calls the CloudAnts API with the public URL of each uploaded
image, so your site must be publicly reachable from the internet for
scanning to work — it cannot scan images on a purely local/offline
development site. You’ll also need a CloudAnts account and API key from
https://cloudants.io/dashboard/api-keys.
Third-Party Service
This plugin sends data to CloudAnts (https://cloudants.io), a third-party
image moderation API, in order to function. Specifically:
- Every time an image is uploaded on your site (and auto-scan is enabled), the plugin sends the public URL of that image and your chosen policy name to
https://api.cloudants.io/moderate-listing/v1, and receives back a moderation decision (allow/flag/block) and category scores. No other post content, user data, or site information is sent. - The “Test Connection” button on the settings page sends your API key to
https://api.cloudants.io/whoami/v1to verify it and show your plan/quota — this does not send any image data. - Your CloudAnts API key is stored in your site’s own database (
wp_options) and sent only toapi.cloudants.io, over HTTPS, as anAuthorization: Bearerheader.
