Customizing the WordPress Header: What You Need to Know

The WordPress header is one of the most essential components of your website, appearing at the top of every page. It often includes key elements such as your logo, navigation menu, and sometimes a search bar or social media icons. The header not only helps visitors navigate your site but also contributes to your brand's visual identity.

"how do I keep my art from being scraped for AI from now on?"

if you post images online, there's no 100% guaranteed way to prevent this, and you can probably assume that there's no need to remove/edit existing content. you might contest this as a matter of data privacy and workers' rights, but you might also be looking for smaller, more immediate actions to take.

...so I made this list! I can't vouch for the effectiveness of all of these, but I wanted to compile as many options as possible so you can decide what's best for you.

Discouraging data scraping and "opting out"

robots.txt - This is a file placed in a website's home directory to "ask" web crawlers not to access certain parts of a site. If you have your own website, you can edit this yourself, or you can check which crawlers a site disallows by adding /robots.txt at the end of the URL. This article has instructions for blocking some bots that scrape data for AI.

HTML metadata - DeviantArt (i know) has proposed the "noai" and "noimageai" meta tags for opting images out of machine learning datasets, while Mojeek proposed "noml". To use all three, you'd put the following in your webpages' headers:

<meta name="robots" content="noai, noimageai, noml">

Have I Been Trained? - A tool by Spawning to search for images in the LAION-5B and LAION-400M datasets and opt your images and web domain out of future model training. Spawning claims that Stability AI and Hugging Face have agreed to respect these opt-outs. Try searching for usernames!

Kudurru - A tool by Spawning (currently a Wordpress plugin) in closed beta that purportedly blocks/redirects AI scrapers from your website. I don't know much about how this one works.

ai.txt - Similar to robots.txt. A new type of permissions file for AI training proposed by Spawning.

ArtShield Watermarker - Web-based tool to add Stable Diffusion's "invisible watermark" to images, which may cause an image to be recognized as AI-generated and excluded from data scraping and/or model training. Source available on GitHub. Doesn't seem to have updated/posted on social media since last year.

Image processing... things

these are popular now, but there seems to be some confusion regarding the goal of these tools; these aren't meant to "kill" AI art, and they won't affect existing models. they won't magically guarantee full protection, so you probably shouldn't loudly announce that you're using them to try to bait AI users into responding

Glaze - UChicago's tool to add "adversarial noise" to art to disrupt style mimicry. Devs recommend glazing pictures last. Runs on Windows and Mac (Nvidia GPU required)

WebGlaze - Free browser-based Glaze service for those who can't run Glaze locally. Request an invite by following their instructions.

Mist - Another adversarial noise tool, by Psyker Group. Runs on Windows and Linux (Nvidia GPU required) or on web with a Google Colab Notebook.

Nightshade - UChicago's tool to distort AI's recognition of features and "poison" datasets, with the goal of making it inconvenient to use images scraped without consent. The guide recommends that you do not disclose whether your art is nightshaded. Nightshade chooses a tag that's relevant to your image. You should use this word in the image's caption/alt text when you post the image online. This means the alt text will accurately describe what's in the image-- there is no reason to ever write false/mismatched alt text!!! Runs on Windows and Mac (Nvidia GPU required)

Sanative AI - Web-based "anti-AI watermark"-- maybe comparable to Glaze and Mist. I can't find much about this one except that they won a "Responsible AI Challenge" hosted by Mozilla last year.

Just Add A Regular Watermark - It doesn't take a lot of processing power to add a watermark, so why not? Try adding complexities like warping, changes in color/opacity, and blurring to make it more annoying for an AI (or human) to remove. You could even try testing your watermark against an AI watermark remover. (the privacy policy claims that they don't keep or otherwise use your images, but use your own judgment)

given that energy consumption was the focus of some AI art criticism, I'm not sure if the benefits of these GPU-intensive tools outweigh the cost, and I'd like to know more about that. in any case, I thought that people writing alt text/image descriptions more often would've been a neat side effect of Nightshade being used, so I hope to see more of that in the future, at least!

SO-31: And We're Back!

If there's a lot of engagement on this, this post is liable to get real long, beware before you expand.

No art, but I am working on it and I will add it retroactively. I hope.

Welcome to the Engagement Lounge, for April Fool (260|31) an instalment! Short comments can go in the replies, but there's a 475 character limit. Longer ones will need a reblog. Remember to @asksoldieron if you're reblogging someone else's reblog, so I can see it too!

Okay! WordPress's latest updates have given me the power to do simple things I should've been able to do years ago without a plugin - for example, freezing the backgrounds. I HAD TO REFORMAT EVERYTHING due to missing style options FINALLY being available in the templates. I may have broken some stuff trying to fix it, let me know.

And we're doing the fascism now, I guess? IRL? I mean, I'm not, but I'm definitely hearing a lot of voices ready to slide into denial or be oppressed. Like, because that's the rules. Just hand the obvious shrieking fascist all the toys and shake his hand, because anything else would be bad for democracy. I honestly did not expect that to be the story. Like, from Biden and the establishment, OK. They never believed democracy as really in danger in the first place. But I'm also seeing it from the media and individuals who are left-of-centre, politically. That shit's fucked.

I'm not certain how to amplify my assertion that the shit is fucked, and my fictionalized methods for coping with it, but the sporadic nature of the updates needs to stop. You're not gonna remember what's going on and you're gonna miss stuff!

I may need another break when this six is done, just so I can get a head start on everything I've been putting off and stop taking all these breaks. I am working on a new way of illustrating, but my eyes are also improving. I was told I'd have a year's recovery at most. I appear to still be recovering. My blurry vision isn't as bad as that sheet I rendered a few months back, I can compare. I have started driving again - short distances, no highways yet. I want to draw, but I'm not sure if I should wait and see if my eyes improve enough to give me more options, or how long I would be waiting in that case. (I definitely need to collage less. The Public Domain is infested with AI images and I can't always tell them on sight anymore. I'm not even going to be able to avoid AI by cutting up magazines like I used to, or by buying stock images. WTF?)

But, in the meantime, you get a text-based six pack! And David's back! Yaaay?

Well, I like him. Everyone in the story is more ambivalent. It is April 1st, in-universe, so maybe they'll forgive him his little prank. That's him pretending to be Erik as soon as he spins around in the chair the second time - his language is a little more sloppy than the real Erik, he can't help making fun of the kid, but it's subtle.

I will eventually get you the three versions of David's backstory, all of which have elements of the "true" one. Erik knows what really happened already - it's pretty bad. David prefers his illusions.

Did I break the screenwriting rules and have the good guys fail to save the cat? Well, you'll have to wait a while to see. I thought they'd be home by now, but there's a whole world out there to explore. It took way more words to do it any justice.

So Matt Mullenweg has decided that if you’re a host he’s threatened by, he will pull the plug on your access to WordPress.org’s resources. So none of your users (who are just trying to host their websites, by the way) can install any security updates or add new plugins or themes. 

I have absolutely zero desire to touch anything hosted by Automattic. The Jetpack plugin is abysmal. WordPress.com is the worst possible way to host a WordPress site. Matt Mullenweg being hostile towards a major host that people are happy with is pretty scary. Are we all gonna need to eventually fall in line and pay Automattic if we don’t want the CEO to aggressively break functionality of our sites?

10 Best Free Social Media Plugins for WordPress – Speckyboy

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/10-best-free-social-media-plugins-for-wordpress-speckyboy/

10 Best Free Social Media Plugins for WordPress – Speckyboy

WordPress and social media are a powerful combination. And there are plenty of ways to integrate platforms like Facebook, Instagram, X, or TikTok into your website. You can display social content on your site, allow users to share your content, or add functionality like social logins.

The social platform landscape is also changing. The Fediverse makes it easier to integrate with services like Mastodon or Bluesky. It allows you to publish in multiple places via a unified protocol. The WordPress ecosystem has embraced this model.

Social media’s importance is evident in the number of available plugins. You’ll find options for top platforms that offer a variety of functions. There’s something available for every niche.

With that in mind, let’s look at some top social media plugins for WordPress!

ActivityPub turns your WordPress website into a federated profile. It publishes your content to multiple platforms that support the Fediverse (Mastodon, among others). Followers will then see your blog posts in their feeds. The neat aspect is that your profile name is consistent across federated platforms.

Users follow you on the service of their choice and enjoy your content. It’s a great way to nurture an online community.

This plugin solves a longstanding problem for those posting to multiple social networks. It combines your Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter/X profiles into an attractive grid layout embedded on your site. It creates better awareness of your profiles and ensures users won’t miss anything.

AddToAny is a longtime favorite that makes it easy for visitors to share your content. It works with every social platform you can imagine – there’s also an option to share via email. In addition, you can customize the design and location of the plugin’s sharing UI. This plugin is perfect for taking full control of social sharing.

Open Graph is a protocol for sharing rich content on social platforms like Facebook and Twitter/X. This plugin allows you to customize the Open Graph tags generated by your content.

Thus, content looks how you want when embedded into social media. The plugin works with all WordPress content and integrates with WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, and others.

Posting links to your content across multiple platforms is a pain. Blog2Social makes it easier by automating the process.

The free version works with Bluesky, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, and more. There’s also an add-on that works with Twitter/X and a premium version with advanced features. It turns a tedious task into a piece of cake.

WP Social is a suite of tools for adding social media to your WordPress website. First, you’ll find sharing buttons that work with a selection of social platforms. You can customize the layout and services displayed.

A social counter shows how many times your content was shared on a particular service. Lastly, a social login/registration function lets users create an account using one of nine compatible services (Facebook, GitHub, Google, etc.). It may be the only social plugin you need.

You can use Jetpack Social to automate content sharing and increase engagement. Share posts and WooCommerce products automatically and use the included scheduling tools to choose the perfect timing.

The plugin integrates with multiple services and adds helpful tools to the Block Editor. If you have a Jetpack Social plan, you’ll have access to the social image generator feature.

Here’s a plugin that helps spread the word about your WooCommerce products. It adds a custom set of social sharing icons to individual product pages.

Here are options for icon placement, shape, and order. There’s also a handy “copy to clipboard” option so users can grab your product’s URL. The pro version includes a “floating” icon bar, tooltips, and more.

Video creators will love Feeds for YouTube. It’s a tool for easily embedding a YouTube channel into your WordPress website. You can customize the look of your feed and even display multiple feeds.

The plugin will check for new videos hourly (or choose a custom interval), so your site will always show the latest content. The Pro version adds compatibility with live broadcasts via the YouTube Live API.

Use AdTribes to expand the reach of your WooCommerce store. The plugin creates product feeds that integrate with services like Facebook and Google. Filtering options let you choose which products and what product data is included in your feed. Now, customers can view your products right from their social feeds.

Seamlessly Add Social Media to WordPress

Integrating social media into your website has real benefits. For example, embedding a feed adds dynamic content and builds awareness. Even better is that feeds are relatively simple to set up. From there, it’s smooth sailing.

The other big benefit is the opportunity to add functionality. Social logins make it easier for users to register for your site. And product feeds entice users to visit your online shop.

The idea is to reach people where they are. The options above (and the untold number of other social plugins) help you do so. The possibilities are almost limitless.

Firefish - a twitter alternative

TLDR: Looks like twitter, functions better. Lets you interact across multiple platforms. Allows NSFW. Has built in anti AI scraping.

If you ever used Twitter, it's going to look similar in structure, so the learning curve is low. There's more features that that, but they're not so intrusive you HAVE to learn them right away but also aren't hard to find. It's a nice balance.

The big difference is post length- it allows up to 8000 characters, so like Mini-Tumblr.

one of the features I like that familiar's but better is if you hover cursor over name on desktop is it pops up the profile for the person and a follow button. So you can immediately hover over name and get context about the person posting when it's not someone you already follow. Is this health info being posted by a professional or by someone that thinks you should stick rocks in your vagina?

That feature also means its incredibly easy to follow people regardless of the instance. On Mastodon it was extremely annoying to follow people. If that the thing that put you off Mastodon, Firefish fixed that and made it better than Twitter.

Firefish runs off ActivityPub, so it lets you follow and interact with anyone using the plugins for that. So includes Mastodon, WordPress, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Misskey, and Tumblr is allegedly developing an integration to run it.

Okay, NSFW content! We're about to get slightly in the weeds here. whether NSFW content is allowed is generally by server. When you go to join Firefish, it'll ask you what server you want to use and it'll tell you about rules. If you want NSFW, pick one that allows!

That's it. If you picked one that did not, it generally won't allow you to follow things that do or boost stuff from a location that did.

NOW, A GREAT FEATURE! Spoilering stuff is super easy on Firefish. Just click the button! Say you see something you wanna boost but its *not* spoilered. You can boost AND spoil the image/text of the quoted item! MAGIC.

now, on to antennas.

The Antenna feature on there lets you track tags or users in a separate panel so you can see it in one spot. You can also add NEGATIVE tags to the antenna. So say you want to see news about your city. So you set the main tag as the City. But you don't want sports news. So you can put in negative tags of sports, specific sport names, and individual teams in the city. And then you get news about the location, but no sports

For fandom purposes, you can use it to filter out things you just don't vibe with. hate that one ship? BEGONE.

PROFILES: you can stick hashtags in your profile and it'll turn up in searches easily. also it will ask you "are you a cat?" If you say yes, it gives your profile pic cat ears.

Overall when I'm posting links to Firefish posts (or posts via something from ActivityPub hosted sites that I interacted with via Firefish), so far it renders the preview link well on most platforms. I'm not sure how it works for embedding a whole message into a static page (like you could do with Twitter for news articles).

AN IMPORTANT NERDY NOTE: okay, you wanna sign up for Firefish now. Select from the servers offered some have different rules restrictions and some have Non-english default languages. Pick the one you like. If you pick Firefish.social itself that one IS the largest but also it gets day one code updates... so sometimes it gets funky or won't load properly for a few hours. If that will drive you bonkers, pick *any* other server. The server size is almost irrelevant because Firefish plays so well with other services!

also, if you don't see one today, check again in a few days! admins rotate through open enrollments to keep the growth rate managable. also, if you're *that* kind of nerd, you can host your own server. Even with only YOU on it. and it still interacts normally with the rest of the ActivityPub servers!
