DigitalPulse Family Archive is a free, open-source WordPress plugin that turns ordinary posts into an interactive family archive. An oak-inspired tree, leaf-shaped portraits and personal stories help visitors explore relationships across generations.<\/p>\n\n
Add a Family Tree block or the [wp_my_family_tree] shortcode to a page. Choose a full-window layout or embed the tree in your theme. People remain WordPress posts, and compatible records from the older WP Family Tree plugin can be reused.<\/p>\n\n
All included plugin features are available free of charge, with no paid plugin license or subscription required. The plugin is released under GPL-3.0-or-later and includes readable source code for modification and redistribution under that license.<\/p>\n\n
hCaptcha and Polylang are optional integrations. Their requirements and external-service terms are described below.<\/p>\n\n
New private installations remain locked until an administrator configures a password. The shared family password grants viewing access, not WordPress editing permission. The plugin must remain active for its access controls to apply.<\/p>\n\n
English is the default for new installations. Complete frontend dictionaries are included for English, Spanish, Polish, French, German, Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian Bokm\u00e5l, Norwegian Nynorsk, Finnish and Icelandic.<\/p>\n\n
Enable presets, add any number of custom languages, edit label dictionaries and configure translated titles in the Languages settings. Missing labels fall back to English. Administrator translation coverage varies: common controls are translated in the presets, with English fallback for remaining labels and editable administrator overrides.<\/p>\n\n
Polylang is optional. When configured, its translated page URLs and person posts provide content translations. Without it, the plugin language menu changes interface labels. No automatic translation service is used.<\/p>\n\n
The server-side relationship index supports automatic storage selection, WordPress transients and an existing persistent WordPress object cache. Redis or Memcached must be supplied by the host or a separate compatible cache plugin; this plugin does not install or replace an object-cache drop-in.<\/p>\n\n
Administrators can clear only the Family Tree index from settings or the WordPress toolbar. The toolbar icon rotates while clearing. Password sessions, anti-spam limits, encrypted media and other plugins' caches are retained.<\/p>\n\n
Production JavaScript and CSS are supplied minified with readable sources. Optional settings compact standalone HTML, remove emoji fallback assets and unnecessary head tags, disable public comments on ordinary posts\/pages\/media, or omit theme styles from full-window tree pages. Private family pages and API responses retain no-store behavior.<\/p>\n\n
An administrator can import eight fictional members of the Morgan family, realistic public-domain archival demo photographs and two English pages. Names, dates, biographies and relationships are invented. The photographs are illustrative and do not depict the named fictional people. The import succeeds only when all eight archival source photographs can be downloaded and validated; it never silently substitutes placeholder portraits.<\/p>\n\n
Importing requires confirmation and preserves existing records, pages, media and settings. Repeating the import preserves edits to marked demo records. It does not create an account or enable public demo access.<\/p>\n\n
On an isolated single-site installation with no real family records, a separately confirmed shared demo mode creates the username demo with password Demo@demo123Editor and front-end password demo. No such account exists by default. An existing demo username is not modified.<\/p>\n\n
The custom Family Tree Demo Editor can add, edit and remove demo persons and pages through a constrained dashboard using the regular person editor's visual layout. Personal details, contact fields, WhatsApp numbers, photo stories and dates are editable. A read-only Settings overview explains the tree page, appearance, languages, access, contact and performance options. The account cannot manage real content, site settings, users, plugins or uploads. Contact sending and the administrator WhatsApp link are disabled during shared demo mode. Demo edits are public.<\/p>\n\n
On an empty first installation the Demo tab is available during setup. After setup, enable Show the Demo tab for sample content and demo sharing in General settings whenever you need these optional tools. Hiding the tab does not disable active sharing or daily reset; General always provides a control to manage or stop active sharing.<\/p>\n\n
Removal requires confirmation. The starting person and tree landing page remain available, and up to 50 visitor-created records are allowed per reset cycle. Persons and Demo pages provide clear Add, Edit, Remove and View actions.<\/p>\n\n
Real family records, including drafts and trashed records, block shared demo mode. If isolation later fails, demo access is locked and shared sessions are revoked. Disabling the mode revokes the shared account and sessions, retains sample content, and restores normal privacy behavior. The normal family password hash is not overwritten.<\/p>\n\n
While shared demo mode is active, the plugin restores original demo titles, stories, publication status, personal details, contact fields, WhatsApp numbers, photo stories and dates to a retained starting copy every 24 hours. Removed original samples return, and records created through the shared demo editor are deleted. The reset checks demo ownership before changing a record and preserves real family records, relationships, media and normal settings. No backup plugin is required.<\/p>\n\n
The task uses WordPress cron, with an overdue check before the next demo access or edit. On a site with no requests, execution can be later than the scheduled time. Demo settings show the next reset and offer a confirmed Reset demo now control. Old editor forms must be reloaded after a reset. The saved starting copy survives disabling and re-enabling demo mode. Active older demos without a saved copy use the original bundled sample fields.<\/p>\n\n
To replace the saved starting copy deliberately, disable sharing, edit the samples as an administrator, and confirm Save current demo as reset baseline before enabling sharing again.<\/p>\n\n
The plugin has no analytics, telemetry, author-operated service or external update system. Core tree code, styles and icons are included in the package. Social links, website links and the optional author credit are ordinary links followed only by a visitor's action; the author credit is off by default.<\/p>\n\n
hCaptcha is an optional external anti-spam service and is disabled by default. An administrator must obtain an hCaptcha account, enter a site key and secret, and enable the relevant form before it is used.<\/p>\n\n
On enabled challenge forms, the browser loads https:\/\/js.hcaptcha.com\/1\/api.js and contacts hCaptcha and its challenge\/asset hosts. hCaptcha receives browser\/network information and challenge interactions as described in its privacy policy. The site's server sends the site key, secret, challenge response token and visitor IP address to https:\/\/api.hcaptcha.com\/siteverify to verify the response. The secret is not exposed to the browser.<\/p>\n\n
The optional administrator-triggered demo import can download a fixed set of public-domain archival photographs from Wikimedia Commons. This request happens only when an administrator imports or refreshes demo content; no family records, passwords, contact details or visitor identifiers are sent by the plugin. If any photograph cannot be downloaded and validated, the import\/refresh reports that file and does not report a successful media refresh. The sample names, dates, biographies and relationships remain fictional and the photographs do not depict the named sample people.<\/p>\n\n
Contact messages use wp_mail() and the site's configured mail transport. An optional photograph is attached to the email, not published or added to the Media Library. Temporary upload files are removed after processing. Your mail provider or other mail-logging plugins may retain their own copies.<\/p>\n\n
Normal family viewing uses a server-validated cookie. Demo sharing uses a separate cookie and session namespace. No service worker or offline family-data cache is registered.<\/p>\n\n
Readable PHP, JavaScript and CSS are included. Minified assets are built with esbuild 0.25.5; package.json, package-lock.json and scripts\/build-assets.mjs are supplied. Developers can run npm ci followed by npm run build with Node 18 or newer. Node and npm are not needed on the WordPress server.<\/p>\n\n
Source and ordinary bug reports:\nhttps:\/\/digitalpulse.click\/<\/p>\n\n
See readme.md for the complete administration, privacy, backup and troubleshooting guide. See SECURITY.md before reporting a security issue. Do not include real family records, photographs, passwords, keys or private logs in public issues.<\/p>\n\n\n
The shortcode accepts root=\"123\" for a starting person or view=\"list\" for the directory. Legacy [family-tree] and [family-members] shortcodes are supported for migration.<\/p>\n\n
Back up the site, then upload the complete new ZIP through Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin and choose Replace current with uploaded. Keep the digitalpulse-family-archive folder name and verify the tree after updating. Existing family data and settings are retained.<\/p>\n\n
Version 1.2.3 changes the public plugin name and folder to DigitalPulse Family Archive \/ digitalpulse-family-archive. WordPress treats it as a separate plugin, so its uploader will not replace the old wp-digitalpulse-family-archive folder.<\/p>\n\n
Deactivation revokes shared demo access. On an isolated demonstration site, re-enable shared demo mode explicitly if needed; imported samples and their saved reset baseline remain available. Future updates within the digitalpulse-family-archive folder can use WordPress's normal replacement workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n
Yes. Enable the optional administrator button in Contact & hCaptcha and enter an international phone number with its country code. The administrator button is visible before and after family sign-in, except in public demo mode. Each person has a separate optional WhatsApp field. Clicking a button opens https:\/\/wa.me\/ using WhatsApp\u2019s click-to-chat feature. No WhatsApp script loads and no contact request is sent automatically. WhatsApp is operated by Meta; its terms and privacy policy apply after following the link: https:\/\/www.whatsapp.com\/legal\/ and https:\/\/www.whatsapp.com\/legal\/privacy-policy\/.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Each gallery photograph has a description and a flexible When \/ date field in the person editor. These are saved for that person, without changing a shared attachment\u2019s captions elsewhere. Performance & cache can prepare smaller AVIF or WebP display copies where the server\u2019s WordPress image editor supports them. Original files are retained. Existing archives use the manual batch tool; later person edits queue background preparation. Protected copies remain encrypted and use authenticated delivery. Animated images keep their existing format, and unavailable encoders fall back to ordinary WordPress image sizes.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Yes. DigitalPulse Family Archive is a free, open-source WordPress plugin licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later. All included features are available without a paid plugin license or subscription. Optional third-party integrations remain subject to their providers' terms.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Yes. Interface languages work independently. Polylang is optional for translated WordPress pages and biographies. The settings provide an installation link when it is absent; it is not installed automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Yes. Add a language code, display name, locale and optional frontend\/admin label overrides in Languages. There is no fixed language-count limit. Missing translations use English.<\/p><\/dd>\n
No. The plugin's interface-language control affects its own labels. Administrator presets have varying coverage and use English where a translation is missing. WordPress core and the theme use their own language packs.<\/p><\/dd>\n
It can read compatible existing person posts and relationship metadata. Deactivate the older plugin to prevent competing shortcodes and its legacy errors. Keep the existing posts and photographs; a database import is not required.<\/p><\/dd>\n
No. It clears this site's Family Tree performance index and updates plugin asset version URLs. It does not clear viewing sessions, passwords, anti-spam limits, encrypted files or other plugins' caches.<\/p><\/dd>\n
No separate service is required for transient caching. Persistent object caching needs a supported host\/cache plugin backend, which can use Redis, Memcached or another compatible store. The plugin reports the available backend and falls back to transients when necessary.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Shared mode is intentionally blocked when any real family record exists, including unpublished and trashed records. Use a separate demonstration site. Importing sample content by itself does not enable shared access.<\/p><\/dd>\n
No. The custom demo role can add, edit and remove demo persons and pages through a restricted editor, and inspect a read-only Settings overview. It has no normal Editor privileges, upload access or permission to save site settings. Disable demo mode to revoke the account and its sessions.<\/p><\/dd>\n
No. The sample people are fictional and use invented names, dates, biographies and relationships. Optional demo import downloads public-domain archival photographs for illustration; those photographs do not depict the named fictional people. If Wikimedia Commons is unavailable, the administrator is shown the failed source instead of silently receiving placeholder artwork.<\/p><\/dd>\n
