About this plugin
site by this plugin’s author/contributors.
site. After a site administrator explicitly saves valid service credentials and completes the connection, the plugin provides a single dashboard page for viewing service data and accepts authenticated article requests from the service.
The plugin uses HTTPS, an API key, timestamped HMAC signatures, and replay protection for service communication. It creates or updates only posts marked as managed by Youtix. Incoming featured images, in-article gallery images, and an optional promotional banner block are size-limited, decoded strictly, verified as supported image types, and stored in the local WordPress Media Library.
The Youtix service is an external service and must provide substantive functionality for this connector to operate. Before activating the connection, review the current Youtix service terms and privacy notice supplied by your service provider.
Key features
- A single, top-level Youtix dashboard page for connecting and viewing service data.
- Authenticated REST endpoints for health checks and managed article create, read, update, and delete operations.
- Authenticated REST endpoint that applies an SEO result the site owner approved in Youtix (short description, description, SEO title, meta description and extra product attributes) to an existing WooCommerce product. Requires WooCommerce.
- Timestamped HMAC verification and one-time replay protection for incoming service requests.
- Protection against updating, reading, or deleting posts that were not created by this connector.
- Secure local handling of optional featured images, in-article gallery images, and a promotional banner block, with strict size and type checks and duplicate-upload avoidance across re-syncs.
- A scheduled health ping while connected and an hourly cleanup task for expired replay records.
- Suggested privacy-policy content for site administrators.
Privacy
This plugin adds suggested content to the WordPress privacy-policy guide. Site administrators must review and adapt that suggested text before publishing a privacy policy. The service connection is initiated only after an administrator enters credentials and selects Save and connect.
External services
site, to synchronize and publish articles on this site on behalf of the site administrator.
It sends the following data:
- During the connection handshake (triggered manually by the administrator when saving credentials): the site URL, the WordPress version, and the plugin version.
- On every scheduled health check (hourly, while a connection is active) and on every authenticated request coming from the service: a timestamped HMAC signature used to verify the request, no personal data.
- The service, in turn, may send article titles, content, SEO metadata, optional featured images, optional in-article gallery images, and an optional promotional banner block to this site for publication, and approved SEO text (descriptions, SEO title, meta description, extra attributes) for existing WooCommerce products.
- When an article contains a standalone product link (a paragraph or list item with only a link) that points to another website, the plugin requests that single public page (a normal HTTP GET, no site or visitor data in the request beyond the standard User-Agent containing this site’s address) to read its title, image and price for the product card. Results are cached as transients for up to 12 hours and at most 6 external pages are requested per article. This can be turned off with the youtix_sync_auto_link_cards filter.
No data is sent until an administrator has explicitly entered valid credentials and selected “Save and connect”.
