Lockora Security Audit vs Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries

Lockora Security Audit helps site owners and agencies review a WordPress site’s security posture from the admin area. Works well with Who Changed It? Lockora finds security weaknesses. Who Changed It? – Activity Log shows what changed, who changed it, and when, with severity classification, field-level diffs, and alerts. Use both together to connect a security finding to the activity that caused it. Current prototype features include: Manual security scans. Weighted security score out of 100. Bounded scan history with current-versus-previous finding comparisons. WordPress core file integrity checks using official checksums, with CSV and TXT exports. Bounded wp-content anomaly scanning for executable uploads, unexpected PHP files outside standard code directories, runtime executables, and exposed backup or secret-like files, with CSV/TXT exports and clipboard copying. WordPress authentication key and salt checks, with explicit actions to generate missing salts or rotate the keys stored in wp-config.php. Must-use plugin directory presence checks. PHP version status using WordPress.org Serve Happy data. HTTPS and HTTP security header checks. WordPress core, plugin, and theme update posture checks. Administrator account posture checks for default usernames, excess admins, inactive admins, user ID 1 exposure, and an admin username/email inventory. Public exposure checks: debug.log and readme.html reachability, uploads directory listing, PHP execution inside uploads, and author archive user enumeration. SSL certificate expiry check, database table prefix check, automatic update posture check, and detection of login protection / two-factor plugins. Site Health integration: scan summary plus key configuration checks appear under Tools > Site Health > Status. WP-CLI support: wp lockora scan and wp lockora report, with --format=json and a --strict flag for CI pipelines. Optional known vulnerability matching with a configured Wordfence Intelligence API key. Optional AI client reports on WordPress 7.0+ when the site’s AI Connector is configured. Reversible hardening toggles for XML-RPC, REST user routes, generator tag output, and basic security headers. A lockora_scan_completed action for integrations that need scan scores and finding counts. External Services Lockora Security Audit may connect to external services only when the administrator runs a scan or generates an AI client report. During a scan the plugin also sends HTTP requests to the site’s own public URL (loopback requests) to inspect response headers, debug.log and readme.html reachability, uploads directory behavior, and author archive redirects, and it opens a TLS connection to the site’s own hostname to read the SSL certificate expiry date. These requests stay within the site being scanned and send no data to third parties. WordPress.org APIs: * Used for WordPress core checksums, PHP version support status, and WordPress core/plugin/theme update data. * Data sent: the site’s WordPress version and locale for core checksums and PHP compatibility; WordPress itself may send installed plugin and theme slugs/versions to WordPress.org when update data is refreshed. * WordPress.org terms: https://wordpress.org/about/terms/ * WordPress.org privacy policy: https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/ Wordfence Intelligence: * Optional. * Used only when a Wordfence Intelligence API key is configured and an administrator runs a scan that includes vulnerability matching. * Used to retrieve vulnerability data and match it locally against installed WordPress core, plugin, and theme versions. * Data sent: the configured Wordfence Intelligence API key is sent in an Authorization header when requesting the vulnerability feed. Installed software details are not sent by this plugin to the Wordfence Intelligence endpoint; matching is performed locally after the feed is retrieved. * Wordfence Intelligence terms: https://www.wordfence.com/wordfence-intelligence-terms-and-conditions/ * Wordfence privacy policy: https://www.wordfence.com/privacy-policy/ WordPress AI Client / Connectors: * Optional. * Used only when the administrator clicks Generate Client Report. * Data sent: sanitized scan findings, score, counts, and recommendations needed to generate a client-facing report. The plugin is designed not to send passwords, salts, API keys, raw logs, full user lists, or file contents. * The configured AI provider is controlled by the site owner’s WordPress Connector settings. * Terms and privacy policy: these depend on the AI provider configured by the site owner in WordPress. Site owners should review the selected provider’s terms and privacy policy before enabling AI reports.

Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries turns every post into an AI-aware destination. It generates an inline AI summary readers can expand next to the share buttons, and offers one-click sharing to every major social network and the leading AI assistants. Among the first plugins to integrate the native WordPress 7.0 AI Connectors API: configure your AI provider once in Settings > Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and the plugin reuses those credentials — no API keys to manage, no extra accounts. Inline AI Summary Two-tier cascade: Level A uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client; Level C is a built-in PHP extractive fallback with zero API cost on any WP 6.1+ install. Choose your AI model and mode: pick the provider and model used to generate summaries, or leave it on Automatic to use a fast, cost-effective model instead of the newest, most expensive one. Set how generation behaves too: AI with extractive fallback, AI only, extractive only, or disabled. Paragraph or bullet-list format: show the summary as prose (one paragraph per sentence) or as a concise bullet list, with configurable length (1-5 sentences or points). Collapsible inline block with native , data-nosnippet and Schema.org CreativeWork microdata so search engines treat it as derived content, not competition. Editor controls in the block sidebar and the classic meta box: view, edit manually, regenerate on demand, hide per post (independently from the buttons). Visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button for posts without a stored summary, restrictable to extractive-only or open to the AI Client. Async generation via WP-Cron. [ayudawp_aiss_summary] shortcode also available. Sharing Social networks: X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, Email, Raindrop, Reddit, Bluesky, LINE, Mastodon, Threads, Pinterest. AI assistants: Claude, ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot, Qwen, Meta AI — each opens with a citation-ready prompt linking back to your URL. 6 visual styles, 4 sizes, custom colors, brand SVG icons, dark-mode auto-adaptation, drag-and-drop ordering. SEO-friendly ( or , auto-exclusion on noindex content for all major SEO plugins). Analytics Click tracking per platform and per post, timeline chart with per-platform breakdown, period comparison (previous period, same period last year, custom range), CSV export. Dashboard widget with 7-day sparkline. VigIA cross-reference (clicks vs. AI crawler visits) when active. Redis/Memcached compatible. Why use it? Cite your source naturally: when readers expand the summary or share to an AI assistant, your URL travels with the content. Reach every audience: full social spectrum plus 11 AI assistants in one place. Future-proof: built on WP 7.0 Connectors and a REST API ready for agentic clients. External services This plugin connects to third-party AI providers only when the inline AI Summary feature is enabled and an AI Connector is configured (or the WP AI Client is available). All other features — social and AI share buttons, click analytics, the extractive PHP fallback summary — run entirely on your own server and do not contact any external service. AI Summary generation When a post is saved (or when the editor / a visitor explicitly clicks “Regenerate” or “Generate AI summary”), the plugin uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client (wp_ai_client_prompt()) to request a short summary from whichever provider you configured in Settings > Connectors. The plugin never stores your API keys — they are managed centrally by WordPress core. What is sent: Post title (plain text) Post content (HTML stripped, up to ~3000 characters of plain text) A short instruction asking the provider to return a summary What is not sent: API keys (managed by core Connectors), visitor IP addresses, user accounts, analytics data, or any other personal data of your readers. Possible destinations (depending on which Connector your administrator activates): OpenAI — Terms of use · Privacy policy Anthropic — Terms of service · Privacy policy Google AI — Terms of service · Privacy policy If you do not configure any Connector, or your WordPress version is below 7.0, the plugin falls back to the local PHP extractive summarizer and no external request is made. How to opt out Set AI Summary generation to Disabled in the AI Summary tab of the plugin settings. Or choose Extractive only to keep summaries fully local — zero external requests, ever. Or choose AI only while leaving no Connector configured — no requests will be sent, and summaries simply won’t be generated. The visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button is off by default; if enabled, you can additionally restrict it to the extractive PHP path so visitor clicks never reach an external provider. Sharing buttons The social and AI sharing buttons render as / elements that open the respective destination only when the visitor clicks them — your server does not contact those services. The plugin’s analytics endpoint that records button clicks runs locally on your own site. Advanced Usage Shortcode parameters The [ayudawp_share_buttons] shortcode accepts several parameters: buttons: Comma-separated list of buttons to display – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,chatgpt,deepseek,twitter,mastodon"] – Available: twitter, linkedin, facebook, telegram, whatsapp, email, raindrop, reddit, bluesky, line, mastodon, threads, pinterest, claude, chatgpt, google_ai, gemini, grok, perplexity, deepseek, mistral, copilot, qwen, meta_ai style: Visual style to use – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons style="outline"] – Options: minimal, brand, outline, dark, custom, icons-only size: Button size preset – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons size="compact"] – Options: compact, normal, large, fluid show_icons: Show icons with text (for non-icons-only styles) – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons show_icons="true" style="brand"] – Options: true, false icon_style: Icon corner style (for icons-only mode) – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"] – Options: circular, square alignment: Button alignment – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons alignment="center"] – Options: left, center show_title: Show or hide the section title – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="false"] – Options: true, false title_text: Custom title text – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_text="Share this content"] title_style: Title HTML element – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_style="h3"] – Options: h3, h4, h5, h6, span ai_title: Section title for AI buttons group – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI"] social_title: Section title for social buttons group – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons social_title="Share on social media"] Combined examples: [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,deepseek,twitter" style="brand" show_icons="true"] [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"] [ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="true" title_text="Share or Summarize" title_style="h3"] [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI" social_title="Share" style="outline" show_icons="true"] [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="chatgpt,qwen,meta_ai,mastodon,threads" size="compact" style="brand"] [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="square" size="large"] [ayudawp_share_buttons size="fluid" style="outline" show_icons="true"] AI summary shortcode The [ayudawp_aiss_summary] shortcode renders the AI-generated summary as a standalone collapsible block. Useful when you want to place the summary somewhere other than where the share buttons are auto-inserted, or when you have buttons disabled but still want to surface the summary. post_id: Render the summary of a specific post – Example: [ayudawp_aiss_summary post_id="123"] – Defaults to the current post in the loop when omitted The shortcode outputs nothing when the post has no stored summary, so it is safe to drop into templates without conditional wrappers. CSS Customization Guide The plugin uses CSS custom properties for all brand colors. You can override these in your theme to change any platform color globally: Override platform colors: .ayudawp-share-buttons { –ayudawp-claude: #ff0000; –ayudawp-chatgpt: #00ff00; } Main container classes: – .ayudawp-share-buttons – Main wrapper container – .ayudawp-buttons-container – Direct container for all buttons – .ayudawp-title – Title element before buttons – .ayudawp-section-title – Section title with extra top margin – .ayudawp-aiss-centered – Applied when centered alignment is enabled Button classes: – .ayudawp-share-btn – Base class for all buttons (both and elements) – .ayudawp-icon-wrapper – Container for button icons – .ayudawp-button-text – Text label inside buttons – .ayudawp-icon – SVG icon element Style modifier classes: – .brand – Brand colors style – .outline – Outline style (brand-colored borders) – .minimal – Minimal style – .dark – Dark background style – .custom – Custom colors style – .icons-only – Icons-only mode – .with-icons – Text buttons with icons – .circular – Circular icon buttons – .square – Square icon buttons Size modifier classes: – .size-compact – Compact button size – .size-large – Large button size – .size-fluid – Fluid width buttons Platform-specific classes (on buttons): – .twitter, .linkedin, .facebook, .telegram, .whatsapp – .email, .raindrop, .reddit, .bluesky, .line – .mastodon, .threads, .pinterest – .claude, .chatgpt, .google-ai, .gemini, .grok – .perplexity, .deepseek, .mistral, .copilot – .qwen, .meta-ai – .ai – Applied to all AI platform buttons Example: Change Claude button color: .ayudawp-share-buttons { –ayudawp-claude: #your-color; } Example: Change all AI buttons background: .ayudawp-share-buttons .ayudawp-share-btn.ai { background: #f0f0f0; } Example: Hide specific button: .ayudawp-share-btn.facebook { display: none; } Customize or remove separator lines: The main container has top and bottom border lines. You can hide either of them from the settings (Share Buttons → Separator lines) with no code. CSS is only needed to replace them with your own style: .ayudawp-share-buttons { border-top: 2px dashed #ccc; border-bottom: 2px dashed #ccc; } Important notes: – The use of !important is no longer needed for most overrides – Use CSS custom properties to change brand colors cleanly – Test on both desktop and mobile viewports – Icons-only buttons have fixed dimensions (44px default, 36px compact, 54px large) Technical Details System requirements WordPress 6.1 or higher (7.0+ for AI-generated summaries) PHP 7.4 or higher (compatible up to PHP 8.4) Theme compatible with wp_head() and wp_footer() Performance features Modular file structure for maximum efficiency Selective loading of resources (CSS/JS only where buttons display) No external dependencies Optimized CSS with custom properties and minimal specificity Lightweight SVG icons (under 1KB each) Minimal database impact: analytics queries are cached (5 min) and compatible with persistent object cache (Redis, Memcached) Smart responsive layouts REST API for lightweight analytics data retrieval Developer features Clean, documented code WordPress coding standards compliant Hook-based architecture Modular class structure in /includes folder Extensible icon system using Simple Icons Translation ready Comprehensive shortcode API SEO-friendly markup options Post meta for individual exclusions Centralized platform color definitions Support Need private support or custom development?
