## Description
Hummint Badge adds a verifiable badge to your posts and pages. Paste a Hummint certificate
slug (or the full certificate URL) and the plugin shows a live badge that reflects
the certificate’s real coverage and links readers to public verification.
Features:
* Live badge that reflects the certificate’s real state (strong / partial / limited
coverage).
* Paste a slug or a full certificate URL – the slug is extracted automatically.
* Live preview in the editor before you publish.
* Placement control: top of content, bottom, or manual via shortcode. A site-wide
default that each post can override.
* Shortcode: `[hummint_badge]` (uses the post’s saved slug) or `[hummint_badge
slug="your-slug"]`.
Hummint helps students, teachers, journalists, and writers create signed proof packs
for human writing. Learn more at https://hummint.com/wordpress-plugin
### External services
This plugin connects to Hummint (https://hummint.com), the service that issues and
hosts the certificates, in order to display the badge and to link to public verification.
The Hummint origin is configurable in Settings -> Hummint Badge (default: https://
hummint.com).
What is sent, and when:
* Badge image: when a post that has a certificate slug is viewed, the badge image
is loaded from `https:///badge/{slug}`. The public certificate slug you
entered is part of that image URL. No personal data and no post content are sent
by the plugin.
* Verification link: the badge and the accompanying link point to `https:///verify?hash={slug}`. This URL is opened only when a visitor clicks it.
By using this plugin you rely on the Hummint service for the badge image and verification
page. Please review:

## Installation
1. Install the ZIP via Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin, or upload the `hummint-
badge` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
3. Edit a post, find the “Hummint certificate” box in the sidebar, and paste your
certificate slug or URL.
4. Publish. The badge appears and links to public verification.
Optional: Settings -> Hummint Badge lets you set the default placement and the Hummint
origin.
## FAQ
### Where do I find my certificate slug?
Open your certificate on Hummint and copy its public link or slug. You can paste
the whole URL – the plugin extracts the slug for you.
### Can I place the badge in the middle of a post?
Yes. Set placement to “Manual” and use the `[hummint_badge]` shortcode wherever
you want it.
### Does the plugin send my content to Hummint?
No. It only includes the public certificate slug in the badge image URL and the
verification link. Your post content is not sent.
### What does the badge show?
The badge is a live image served by Hummint that reflects the certificate’s current
coverage (strong, partial, or limited). If the slug is unknown, it shows a neutral“
certificate not found” state.
