About this plugin
FFA-Links Badge lets you register your website with the FFA-Links partner
de) directly from the WordPress admin, without having
to visit the directory’s own website.
How it works
- Under Settings → FFA-Links Badge, fill in the registration form (name,
email, website, category, description, optional logo).
- FFA-Links sends an email with a link to your personal badge code.
- Paste that link (or the finished HTML code from the linked page) back
into the plugin. The plugin then embeds the badge in the footer of every
page automatically, and shows you once the listing has been approved.
Instead of automatic footer placement, the shortcode [ffa_links_badge]
can be used to place the badge in a specific spot.
External services
This plugin connects to two external services in order to register your
site with the FFA-Links directory:
1. de (directory API)
When the registration form is submitted, the plugin sends the entered data
(name, email address, website URL, category, description, optional logo
de/api/register to register the site with
the directory. When clicking “Check now”, the stored badge token is sent to
de/api/verify to check the approval status. Both
calls only happen on explicit admin action in the WordPress backend, never
automatically in the background.

2. Supabase Storage (logo upload)
If an optional logo is uploaded with the registration form, the plugin
sends that image file directly to a public Supabase Storage bucket
co ), the same one used by the registration
de itself. No other site or user data is transmitted,
only the image file. This step is skipped entirely if no logo is uploaded.

3. de (frontend badge image)
Once registration is approved and a badge token is saved, the plugin embeds
in the footer of every
front-end page (or wherever the [ffa_links_badge] shortcode is placed).
This means every visitor’s browser loads that image directly from
de, which will see the visitor’s IP address, user agent and
referrer header for that request, the same as with any externally hosted
image or web font. No cookies are set and no other data is read from or
written to the visitor’s browser. This behavior is core to the plugin’s
purpose (displaying a directory-verified badge) and is turned on by the
site owner when they enable automatic footer placement in the plugin
settings; it can be disabled at any time under Settings → FFA-Links Badge.
