## Description
Give your Discord community three free tools, right on your own site:
* **Check an account’s age** before trusting a DM
* **Decode any Discord ID** to see when it was created
* **Make timestamps** that show in everyone’s own time zone
Add it as a block, a widget or a shortcode. It’s free, and nothing visitors type
leaves their browser.
#### Private by design
Everything runs in the visitor’s browser. Nothing they type is sent to Discord,
to Redact or to your server. The plugin makes no network requests, loads no outside
scripts or fonts, sets no cookies and tracks nobody. It doesn’t even add a link
to your pages.
#### Account age checker
Paste a user ID, an @mention or a profile link and see the day the account was made
and exactly how old it is. Not sure where to find an ID? A short guide right under
the box walks visitors through it. Brand new, very new and young accounts get a
clear red or amber label, so members can think twice before trusting a DM offering
a free trade, a giveaway or a “carry”.
#### Discord ID decoder
Every Discord ID has its creation time built in. Paste any ID, or a message link,
and see when that user, server, channel or message was created, down to the second.
#### Timestamp generator
Pick a date and time and copy a Discord timestamp tag like ``. Paste
it into Discord and everyone sees your event in their own time zone. All seven Discord
styles are there, from “8:00 PM” to “in 2 weeks”, with a preview of how it will
look.
#### Fits your site
* Choose your own background, text and button colors. The block offers your theme’s
palette and warns you if text would be hard to read.
* Or let it follow each visitor’s light or dark mode.
* Surfaces, borders and secondary text are mixed from your colors, and button text
turns black or white to stay readable. The green, amber and red account age labels
keep their own shades so they always mean the same thing.
* Tested with Twenty Sixteen through Twenty Twenty-One, and with the default theme
of the latest WordPress.
#### Three ways to add it
* **Block:** add the “Discord Tools” block to any post, page or block widget area.
* **Widget:** Appearance > Widgets, add “Redact Tools for Discord” to a sidebar
or footer.
* **Shortcode:** `[redact_discord_tools]` anywhere shortcodes work.
#### Shortcode options
* `title` – heading text. Empty hides it. Default “Discord Tools”.
* `tools` – which panels to show, in order: `age`, `snowflake`, `timestamp`. Default`
age,timestamp`.
* `theme` – `auto` (follows the visitor’s light or dark setting), `light` or `dark`.
* `bg`, `text`, `accent` – your own background, text and button colors as hex codes,
such as `bg="#fdf6e3"`. A `bg` decides light or dark by itself, so a dark one
switches the rest of the widget to its dark style. Without a `bg`, an explicit`
light` or `dark` theme is kept, while `auto` picks the style that suits your `
text` color, or light when only `accent` is set.
Examples:
* `[redact_discord_tools tools="timestamp" theme="dark"]`
* `[redact_discord_tools bg="#fdf6e3" text="#3b2f1e" accent="#e07a1f"]`
#### Translation ready
Every label and message can be translated, and dates, ages and times are written
in your site’s language.

## Installation
1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New and search for “Redact Tools

## FAQ
### Does it send anything to Discord, Redact or my server?
No. Everything happens in the visitor’s browser. The plugin makes no network requests
at all.
### How do I find someone’s Discord user ID?
In Discord, open User Settings > Advanced and turn on Developer Mode. Then right-
click a user (or long-press on mobile) and choose Copy User ID. Pasting an @mention
or a profile link works too.
### Can it look up usernames or profiles?
No. The creation date is stored inside the ID itself, so the plugin reads it without
contacting Discord. It never sees names, profiles or messages.
### Does a young account mean a scammer?
Not by itself. Plenty of new accounts belong to people who just joined Discord,
and an old account can be bought. The 90 day line is this plugin’s rule of thumb,
not a Discord figure. Treat account age as one sign among many.
### Can I show just one tool?
Yes. Pick the tools in the block or widget settings, or use the shortcode’s `tools`
option, such as `[redact_discord_tools tools="timestamp"]`.
### Will it match my theme?
By default it follows each visitor’s light or dark mode. You can also set your own
background, text and button colors in the block, the widget or the shortcode.
### Is it really free?
Yes. Every feature is in this plugin, with no pro version, account or license key.
