Recognyze.AI

AI is a WordPress plugin for publishers who want to protect content, monetize AI usage, and control how agents access their site. Use the dashboard to sign posts in bulk, connect securely to the Recognyze Publisher API, and monitor signed and unsigned access-including Bot Wall blocks and optional Markdown for AI agents.

Key Features

• Content Protection: Cryptographic signatures that verify authenticity and register content with Recognyze

• Post Management Dashboard: Overview of recognized, pending, and bulk sign/sync actions

• AutoRecognyze: Optionally recognize new Posts and Pages automatically on publish (Essentials settings)

• API Integration: Connect with your Recognyze account; API keys are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM when OpenSSL is available)

• API Key Rotation: Automatic rotation before expiry (14-day buffer), manual “Rotate now”, and visible key ID/expiration in Essentials

• Bot Wall (Agents & Bot Access): Rules-driven blocking for AI crawlers with per-bot and per-category controls (HTML/Markdown), powered by portal Bot Rules

• AI Bot Detection: Track signed and unsigned visits, including blocked Bot Wall requests and bot attribution metadata

• Access Logs: Logging for signed content access with event-based export and retention cleanup

• Unsigned Access Logs: Track unsigned content access and bot-like traffic separately

• Bulk Operations: Sign or synchronize many posts at once

• Encrypted Storage: API keys stored encrypted; Basic Auth credentials used only once to obtain a key and are never saved

• Export Functionality: Export access logs to Recognyze when batch size or time-based conditions are met

• Markdown for Agents: Serve content as Markdown via.md URLs or Accept: text/markdown, with Recognyze frontmatter, verify URLs, usage fees in points, and token estimates

AI collects and stores the following data:

Access Logs: When visitors access your signed content, the plugin may log:

* Referrer URL

* Post ID accessed

Unsigned / Bot Wall logs: When enabled, the plugin may also log unsigned visits and Bot Wall blocks (including bot identity metadata where configured).

API key metadata: Key ID, name, status, and expiration date (not the secret) are stored locally to support rotation scheduling.

Storage: All data is stored in your WordPress database on your server.

Retention: Logs are automatically exported and cleaned up from the database based on export conditions (batch size reached or 120-minute fallback interval).

Exported logs are removed immediately after successful export.

Export: If configured, access logs may be exported to external systems via API.
