Taberipp

Description

Taberipp is a WordPress plugin for food bloggers in Japan. It lets you create beautiful restaurant card blocks that link to major Japanese restaurant reservation and review sites with affiliate links.

No external API required. All restaurant information (name, image, address, and URLs) is entered manually. When a Tabelog URL is set, review and map links are automatically generated.

Credit Link (Opt-in)

The plugin can display a small “Taberipp” credit link (to https://taberipp.com/) in the bottom-right corner of restaurant cards. This is strictly opt-in: it is disabled by default and only shown when the site administrator explicitly enables it in the plugin settings.

No Automatic External Requests

The plugin itself does not send any HTTP requests to external servers. There are no API calls, no update checks, no telemetry, and no tracking. All external services listed above are only reached when a site visitor clicks a link.
