## Description

The purpose of this project is to create a set-it-and-forget-it plugin that can 
be installed without much effort to get a WordPress site compliant with the current
[`security.txt`](https://securitytxt.org/) spec. It is therefore highly opinionated
but built for configuration. It will automatically configure itself but you are 
encouraged to visit the plugin settings page after activating it.

[`security.txt`](https://github.com/securitytxt) is a [draft](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-foudil-securitytxt-00)“
standard” which allows websites to define security policies. This “standard” sets
clear guidelines for security researchers on how to report security issues, and 
allows bug bounty programs to define a scope. Security.txt is the equivalent of `
robots.txt`, but for security issues.

There is a help page built into the plugin if you need help configuring it. For 
developers, there is [documentation for `wordpress-security-txt` online](https://austinheap.github.io/wordpress-security-txt/),
the source of which is in the [`docs/`](https://github.com/austinheap/wordpress-security-txt/tree/master/docs)
directory. The most logical place to start are the [docs for the `WordPress_Security_Txt` class](https://austinheap.github.io/wordpress-security-txt/packages/WordPress.Security.Txt.html).

### Translations

If you would like to contribute a new languge or you spotted in error in one of 
the translation files, please feel free to contribute directly to the [public `wordpress-security-txt` POEditor project](https://poeditor.com/join/project/utTvBn327C).
Once accepted additions/modifications are automagically built by POEditor to PO/
MO files and published to the [wordpress-security-txt-translation](https://github.com/austinheap/wordpress-security-txt-translations)
repository.

The translations repository is included in builds submitted to the WordPress plugin
directory. Users with the [GitHub Updater Plugin](https://github.com/afragen/github-updater)
don’t have to wait for builds to the WordPress plugin directory — they can get updated
translations as soon as they’re published to the repository by POEditor.

### Anonymous Statistics (Opt-in)

This plugin has an option — that is **disabled** by default and _can only be enabled
by explicilty opt-ing in_ on the `security.txt` Settings page — to collect anonymous
statistics to help better understand how this plugin is used and how people are 
implementing their `security.txt` documents. The goal of collecting this data is
to aid in research and design of the [specification](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-foudil-securitytxt-00),
the [PHP library](https://github.com/austinheap/php-security-txt), the [plugin](https://github.com/austinheap/wordpress-security-txt)
itself, and to help us create a better experience for all users.

For example, one function of anonymous statistics is to send your `security.txt`
document to our servers. This allows us to track what percent of users are implementing
the specification according to the draft RFC, and how it might differ from the explicit
definitions submitted to the [Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)](https://www.ietf.org/).

We respect your privacy and are happy to clarify on any aspect of the statistics
collection and analysis. More importantly, you can [verify this in the code for yourself on GitHub](https://github.com/austinheap/wordpress-security-txt/tree/master/trunk).

We do not track **any** personally-identifiable information and we are committed
to protecting your privacy. With regards to performance, the tracking is implemented
in such a way so as to not impact of your WordPress site at all.
