Plugin Description
Create, manage, and validate your Trust.txt from within WordPress, just like any other content asset. Requires PHP 5.3+ and WordPress 4.9+.
This plugin uses the Ads.txt Manager codebase as a starting point.
What is Trust.txt?
Trust.txt is an effort by JournalList to systematically and transparently disclose connections between journalists, publishers & associations.
The concept of a trust.txt file borrows heavily from two previous very successful efforts improving the overall experience of the internet: robots.txt and ads.txt.
With both, website publishers are able to create a small and very manageable file that they have full control over that helps platforms and advertisers improve the overall ecosystem, and thereby the experience for users. So it is with trust.txt.
This plugin provides a way to create & manage your trust.txt from within WordPress, just like any other content asset. The validation logic baked into the plugin helps avoid malformed records.
Technical Notes
- Requires PHP 5.3+.
- Requires WordPress 4.9+. Older versions of WordPress will not display any syntax highlighting and may break JavaScript and/or be unable to localize the plugin.
- Rewrites need to be enabled. Without rewrites, WordPress cannot know to supply /trust.txt when requested.
- Your site URL must not contain a path (e.g. https://example.com/site/ or path-based multisite installs). While the plugin will appear to function in the WP admin, it will not display the contents at https://example.com/site/trust.txt. This is because the plugin enforces the specification as defined by JournalList, which requires that the trust.txt file be located at the root of a domain or subdomain.
Can I use this with multisite?
Yes! However, if you are using a subfolder installation it will only work for the main site. This is because you can only have one Trust.txt for a given domain or subdomain per the [Trust.txt spec]. Our recommendation is to only activate Trust.txt Manager per-site.
