Title: Vurl Evidence Badge Author: m2devio Published: September 11, 2026 Last modified: September 11, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/vurl-evidence-badge.svg) # Vurl Evidence Badge By [m2devio](https://profiles.wordpress.org/m2devio/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/vurl-evidence-badge.1.0.1.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/vurl-evidence-badge/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/vurl-evidence-badge/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/vurl-evidence-badge/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/vurl-evidence-badge/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/vurl-evidence-badge/) ## Description The Vurl Evidence Badge puts a small, unobtrusive button on your site. A reader who clicks it gets a short menu of tools for **the page they are on**: * Check a claim * Audit this page’s citations * Create a citation * Learn how Vurl works That is the whole feature. No account, no dashboard, no tracking. #### What this badge is not This plugin does **not** display a trust mark, a seal, or a score. It will never say “Vurl Verified”, “Factually verified”, “Trusted by Vurl”, “Accuracy certified”, or anything similar, because Vurl does not produce such a judgement. Every panel the badge opens carries this line: > Vurl shows what cited sources say. It does not certify this publisher or > determine > whether every statement is true. Vurl reads a page and reports what it says about a specific claim. That is evidence a reader can check. It is not a verdict on a publisher, and this plugin will not present it as one. #### Privacy This plugin collects nothing. * It stores one option row containing your badge settings. Nothing else. * It reads no WordPress user data, no post content and no visitor data. * It sets no cookies and uses no local storage. * It sends no analytics, no referrer and no page information automatically. The badge script is bundled inside the plugin and loaded locally. It makes **no network request** until a reader opens the badge. When a reader chooses a tool, the address of the page they are on is included in the link they followed, so that Vurl can act on that page. That is the only time any information about your page leaves the reader’s browser. If you list evidence passport IDs in the settings, the badge fetches a public summary of those passports from Vurl when a reader opens the panel. That request carries no cookies and no referrer. #### Third-party service This plugin depends on Vurl, a service operated by m2Dev LLC. * Service: https://vurl.ai * Badge documentation: https://vurl.ai/webmasters * Terms of use: https://vurl.ai/terms * Privacy policy: https://vurl.ai/privacy ## Installation 1. Upload the `vurl-evidence-badge` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it through the Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to **Settings Vurl Evidence Badge**. 4. Choose a label, a placement and a theme, then save. No account or API key is required. ## FAQ ### Does this certify my website? No, and it never will. Vurl reports what a cited page says about a specific claim. It does not assess publishers, and this plugin does not display any mark that implies it does. ### Will it slow my site down? The script is around 20 KB uncompressed, has no dependencies, loads asynchronously, and is cached. After that download, it makes no additional request until a reader opens the badge. ### Will it cover my cookie banner? It is placed below the top of the stacking order so a banner can sit above it, and there is a **Lift above other UI** setting to move it up by a number of pixels if you need to. ### Does it work with a Content Security Policy? If your site sends a CSP, allow `https://vurl.ai` in `script-src`, and https:// vurl.ai in `connect-src` if you list evidence passports. The badge styles itself inside a shadow root using CSSOM, which is not subject to style-src. ### Can I place it inside my content instead of a corner? Set placement to **Inline**. The badge renders where the script tag loads. ### What happens when I delete the plugin? The single option row it created is deleted. It leaves nothing behind. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Vurl Evidence Badge” is open source software.
