Recognyze.AI for WordPress Plugin Directory

Recognyze.AI is a WordPress plugin for publishers who want to protect content, monetize AI usage, and control how agents access their site. Use the dashboard to sign posts in bulk, connect securely to the Recognyze Publisher API, and monitor signed and unsigned access-including Bot Wall blocks and optional Markdown for AI agents.

Key Features

Content Protection: Cryptographic signatures that verify authenticity and register content with Recognyze

Post Management Dashboard: Overview of recognized, pending, and bulk sign/sync actions

AutoRecognyze: Optionally recognize new Posts and Pages automatically on publish (Essentials settings)

API Integration: Connect with your Recognyze account; API keys are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM when OpenSSL is available)

API Key Rotation: Automatic rotation before expiry (14-day buffer), manual “Rotate now”, and visible key ID/expiration in Essentials

Bot Wall (Agents & Bot Access): Rules-driven blocking for AI crawlers with per-bot and per-category controls (HTML/Markdown), powered by portal Bot Rules

AI Bot Detection: Track signed and unsigned visits, including blocked Bot Wall requests and bot attribution metadata

Access Logs: Logging for signed content access with event-based export and retention cleanup

Unsigned Access Logs: Track unsigned content access and bot-like traffic separately

Bulk Operations: Sign or synchronize many posts at once

Encrypted Storage: API keys stored encrypted; Basic Auth credentials used only once to obtain a key and are never saved

Export Functionality: Export access logs to Recognyze when batch size or time-based conditions are met

Markdown for Agents: Serve content as Markdown via .md URLs or Accept: text/markdown, with Recognyze frontmatter, verify URLs, usage fees in points, and token estimates

Privacy Policy Recognyze.AI collects and stores the following data:

Access Logs: When visitors access your signed content, the plugin may log:

* IP address

* User agent

* Timestamp

* Referrer URL

* Post ID accessed

Unsigned / Bot Wall logs: When enabled, the plugin may also log unsigned visits and Bot Wall blocks (including bot identity metadata where configured).

API key metadata: Key ID, name, status, and expiration date (not the secret) are stored locally to support rotation scheduling.

Exported logs are removed immediately after successful export.

Export: If configured, access logs may be exported to external systems via API.
