Description
Solana Login and Content Locker is a Web3 authentication plugin for WordPress that allows you to token-gate your content or create exclusive areas using the Phantom wallet on the Solana blockchain.
Say goodbye to traditional email/password logins and embrace the decentralized web.
Key Features
Phantom Wallet Support: Seamlessly connect and authenticate users via Phantom.
Cryptographic Security: Utilizes robust Ed25519 signature verification via libsodium to ensure maximum security against spoofing.
Content Protection: Easily lock your posts and pages. Only authenticated Web3 users can access the content.
Automatic Account Creation: Automatically handles WordPress sessions and creates standard subscriber accounts for authenticated wallets.
Lightweight & Fast: Strictly object-oriented architecture that won’t slow down your site. Fully bundled libraries ensure compliance with WordPress directory guidelines.
Included Libraries & Third-Party Code
To ensure maximum performance and compliance with WordPress guidelines regarding external assets, this plugin includes the following library bundled locally:
Solana Web3.js (solana-web3.min.js)
Description: The official Solana JavaScript API, required to interact with the Solana blockchain and Phantom wallet.
Source: The minified version bundled in this plugin (assets/js/solana-web3.min.js) is the exact distribution file from @solana/web3.js.

External Services
This plugin relies on external services to function properly. By using this plugin, your website’s frontend will interact with the following third-party services:
Solana Public RPC Nodes
Purpose: The bundled solana-web3.js library connects directly from the user’s browser to Solana’s public RPC nodes (Mainnet-beta, Devnet, or Testnet) to verify blockchain states and facilitate cryptographic requests.
Data Transmitted: No Personal Identifiable Information (PII) from your WordPress database is sent. The user’s browser only transmits cryptographic requests (such as public keys) to the Solana network.
Terms & Privacy: Solana Terms of Service(https://solana.com/tos) | Solana Privacy Policy(https://solana.com/privacy-policy)
Phantom Wallet
Purpose: The plugin interacts with the user’s installed Phantom browser extension to request connection authorization and cryptographic signatures.
Data Transmitted: The plugin requests the user’s Solana Public Key and asks the wallet to sign a secure, randomly generated challenge string. No private keys, balances, or financial data are ever accessed or transmitted.
Terms & Privacy: Phantom Terms of Service(https://phantom.app/terms) | Phantom Privacy Policy(https://phantom.app/privacy)

FAQ
-
Do I need an SSL certificate?
-
Yes. Web3 wallet extensions require a secure context (HTTPS) to interact with your website. The connection will fail on standard HTTP connections.
-
What happens if a user doesn’t have a Phantom wallet installed?
-
The plugin intelligently detects the missing browser extension and provides a direct, safe link for the user to download the Phantom wallet.
