Digital Deads Man Switch (DDSM) Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
This Plugin will send a text of your choice to an email address(es) in the unfortunate case in which you lose ability to access your blog, due to disability or, I hope not, untimely death. Useful for sending your person of choice your blog password, domain password, web host’s control panel password, your e-mail password, etc. — and to avoid your digital legacy being lost forever.
Why this plugin ?
WordPress, the famous blog platform, is running around 25% of ALL websites on the internet, so I’m pretty sure that, statistically, your own online activity may revolve around this tool. That, or for people you know.
But what’s going to happen in case they don’t have the time to set up a proper digital will, or time to brief their executor? What if, your website itself could contact your executor if you’re not active on this website anymore?
What does this plugin do ?
It handles what happens after we die. It monitors your own visits to your wordpress system, and will send you a warning email after a number of weeks (of your choice) without a visit. If you fail to visit your blog even after that, the system will send a mail you wrote to whoever you choose.
All time intervals and messages are customizable.
The plugin will at the same time publish a page that you’d saved as a draft as your new frontpage – if you want to – so that your readers will know something happened to you.
This should be used to have someone keep your blog on the air in the unfortunate case of something mishappening to you.
This plugin is also useful for those that want their blog to out-live them, and serve as an online memorial. Even without use of this plugin, all are recommended to make sure someone can handle their website in case of emergency.
