Certificate Manager Plugin

A secure and modern WordPress plugin for managing and displaying certificates.

Description

This plugin allows administrators to upload certificate images and associate them with unique codes. Users can then use a shortcode on the front-end of your website to enter a code and view the corresponding certificate.

Key Features

• Secure Certificate Management: Administrators can easily upload and manage certificates through a dedicated dashboard in the WordPress admin area.
• User-Friendly Certificate Verification: Users can quickly verify certificates by entering a unique code via a simple shortcode on any page or post.
• SQL Injection Prevention: Implements secure database queries using $wpdb->prepare() to protect against SQL injection attacks.
• CSRF Protection: Utilizes WordPress nonces to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks, ensuring that actions are only performed by authorized users.
• Clean and Modern Codebase: Built with WordPress coding standards, including object-oriented programming, proper file organization, and asset enqueueing.
• Translatable: Fully internationalized to support multiple languages.

Installation

1. Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

Usage

1. Admin Dashboard: After activating the plugin, a new menu item called "Agrad Certificate" will appear in your WordPress admin dashboard. Use this to upload certificates and assign them unique codes.
2. Shortcode: To display the certificate search form on a page or post, use the [certificate_search] shortcode.
