SlopStopper vs Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation

Give your users control over their AI slop intake. SlopStopper lets website owners identify AI-generated content and provides visitors with a simple toggle to show or hide it. Some website owners find that a bit of AI assistance can be a helpful time-saver. Others use it to extend their verbal or artistic skills. However, many users are turned off by AI content on aesthetic or moral grounds. SlopStopper provides websites with an on-off toggle for AI content, allowing site owners to employ AI as needed, better disclose its non-human provenance, and grant users the ability to scrub AI content from their user experience if they prefer. Links Support Forum Rate Plugin Plugin Features Visual toggle for generative content Supports multiple content types Administrative control panel Responsive design Persistent preferences Background image support Custom AI container block Customize or randomize obscuration filter Cache plugin compatible Visual Toggle SlopStopper adds a floating toggle switch on front end of your site. When clicked by a user, their localized display of the site will toggle between modes of showing or hiding your AI-generated content. The switch is unobtrusive by default, becoming prominent when hovered over. The labels and position of the switch can be configured from the admin control panel in the settings section of your site’s backend. Multiple Content Types AI-generated content can be identified by image, post, page, or by a custom Gutenberg block type for sections of AI content within any post, page, or template. AI Images Compatible with all image formats! SlopStopper adds an “AI generated” checkbox to the Details modal of every image in your Media Library. Checking the box will identify that image as being AI-generated. When the user elects to hide AI-generated content, these images will be hidden behind a black overlay. Clicking the toggle to show AI content will remove the overlay, allowing the image to display. Posts and Pages SlopStopper adds a checkbox to the edit screen of every post and page. Checking the box will identify that post or page as being entirely AI-generated. When the user elects to hide AI-generated content, the content of the page will be replaced by a notice that the content is AI generated. Clicking the toggle to show AI content will reveal the content of the post or page. Other Content SlopStopper adds a custom “AI Generated Content” block type that serves as a container for blocks containing any AI-generated sections within a post, page, or template. Any number of blocks can be placed within the “AI Generated Content” container. When the user elects to hide AI-generated content, contained content will be hidden or replaced. Clicking the toggle will reveal the hidden content. Admin Control Panel SlopStopper adds an SlopStopper settings page under the Settings section of your WordPress backend. From here, you can set the position and labels of the toggle switch and an optional message to show when AI content has been hidden. Responsive Design SlopStopper uses responsive design techniques to adjust to displays on desktop and mobile devices. User Preference Memory SlopStopper remembers a user’s preference for showing or hiding the AI-generated content on your site, providing a consistent experience as the user navigates from page to page. The preference is saved to the user’s browser and is not accessible to the website owner or plugin developer. Background Image Support When an image is identified as AI-generated and used as a background image, the AI-generated image will be overlaid in black while the foregrounded content will not be affected unless also identified as AI-generated. Custom Gutenberg Block SlopStopper adds an “AI Generated Content” block to the Gutenberg editor. This block acts as a container for content in any blocks of AI content placed within it. Customize Obscuration Filter From the admin settings, slop images can be obscured with four basic filters: light and dark patterns, solid color, and a circuitry pattern. These can be customized with hue, saturation, and brightness to match the look of any website. The appearance can also be randomized and set to change daily. Cache Plugin Compatibility SlopStopper integrates with 15+ popular caching plugins including: * WP-Optimize * WP Rocket * W3 Total Cache * LiteSpeed Cache * WP Super Cache * And many more… This ensures AI content changes are immediately reflected without manual cache clearing.

This super lightweight plugin is intended primarily for developers, designers and site administrators that need to allow clients to preview the site before being available to the public or to temporarily hide it while undergoing major updates. Any logged-in user with WordPress administrator privileges will be allowed to view the site regardless of the settings in the plugin. The exact privilege can be set using a filter hook – see FAQs. The behaviour of this can be enabled or disabled at any time without losing any of the settings configured in its settings pane. However, deactivating the plugin is recommended versus having it activated while disabled. When redirect is enabled, it can send a different header types. A list of IP addresses can be set up to completely bypass maintenance mode. This option is useful when needing to allow a client’s entire office to access the site while in maintenance mode without needing to maintain individual access keys. Access keys work by creating a key on the user’s computer that will be checked against when maintenance mode is active. When a new key is created, a link to create the access key cookie will be emailed to the email address provided. Access can then be revoked either by disabling or deleting the key.
