AstroAstro Daily Horoscope

Description

AstroAstro Daily Horoscope adds a WordPress widget that displays daily horoscope summaries for the twelve zodiac signs. A dynamic Gutenberg block is also included for sites that use the block editor.

The plugin uses the official AstroAstro API. If no API key is stored yet, the plugin registers the current site domain with AstroAstro and stores the returned key locally. It then uses that key to fetch daily horoscope summaries. If the API is temporarily unavailable, local demonstration texts are displayed so site owners can still test the widget layout.

Main features:

• Configurable WordPress widget.
• Dynamic Gutenberg block.
• Column, row, and sidebar layouts.
• Compact display by default, with a standard density option.
• Display all zodiac signs or a single selected sign.
• Included WebP icons for the twelve zodiac signs.
• The sign name is always displayed as text.
• Daily API response caching.
• Daily cache purge at 00:01 using WP-Cron.
• Attribution link to the full AstroAstro horoscope page below the widget.
• Strict sanitization, validation, and escaping for API data and rendered output.

Security

The plugin uses WordPress APIs to:

• escape rendered output;
• restrict API endpoints to allowed HTTPS AstroAstro hosts by default;
• use the WordPress HTTP API for outbound requests;
• clean plugin options, transients, and scheduled cron events during uninstall.
