The plugin grew around the needs of a working media platform. It favors direct integration with WordPress because it powers site-specific workflows, not a general-purpose marketplace product.

Security and portfolio-release changes

This public version intentionally contains no production credentials. The article-import secret must be supplied outside source control:

define( 'FISM_ARTICLE_IMPORT_KEY', getenv( 'FISM_ARTICLE_IMPORT_KEY' ) );

The release also uses constant-time secret comparison, sanitizes import fields, removes an obsolete password-notification override, and uses cryptographically secure randomness for generated credentials.

See SECURITY.md before adapting any part of this production-derived snapshot.

Authorship note

The current implementation was redesigned, rewritten, and is maintained by Elijah Kelley. A stale author line and historical class/file names remained in the working plugin package; this portfolio release corrects that metadata and renames those identifiers to match the current codebase.

Local review

This is an architecture and source-review artifact, not a one-command standalone product. It depends on a configured WordPress installation, organization-specific content, theme integration, and external media services.

For an isolated review:

Read financialissues-plugin.php for the entry points.
Review fism_tools.php for shortcodes and publishing features.
Review api/index.php for the protected content-import path.
Review libs/ for focused search, news, donation, partner, chat, and platform classes.
Review templates/ for the live and on-demand presentation layer.

Next engineering steps

Separate features into namespaced modules with Composer autoloading
Replace the custom query-string API with versioned WordPress REST routes
Add WordPress Coding Standards, PHPStan, PHPUnit, and integration tests
Move remaining environment-specific URLs and analytics IDs into configuration
Audit and modernize bundled browser dependencies
