#add user generated content in wordpress

"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!

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!

Work Smarter, Not Harder Use Dropbox As WordPress Hosting

Running a WordPress site often means juggling increasing hosting costs as your content grows. Many website owners find themselves paying premium prices for storage space, especially when their sites become media-heavy with images, videos, and documents.

Maximize Efficiency and Minimize Hosting Costs with Our Integrate Dropbox Plugin for WordPress

Integrate Dropbox best plugin for WordPress. Our Dropbox integration plugin reimagines how WordPress handles media storage. Instead of relying solely on your hosting server's storage, your media library seamlessly connects with Dropbox's robust infrastructure.

In the digital age, managing media files and optimizing website performance are top priorities for businesses and content creators. The balance between delivering rich media content and maintaining hosting efficiency can be challenging. That’s where Dropbox Integration Plugin comes in, providing a seamless bridge between Dropbox and WordPress to help you streamline file management, save on hosting costs, and enhance your user experience—all without coding hassles.

Why Hosting Optimization Matters

Every media file, video, or high-quality image hosted directly on your WordPress site consumes hosting resources. For companies scaling their content, this can quickly lead to higher hosting costs, slower load times, and potential website downtime. By integrating Dropbox with WordPress, CodeConfig’s plugin allows users to manage, display, and play Dropbox-hosted files directly on their site, significantly reducing the hosting load.

Integrate Dropbox Key Features To Solve Real Problems

Our plugin is packed with features designed to make Dropbox integration simple, secure, and efficient:

Media Library Integration Directly access Dropbox files from your WordPress Media Library. Upload files, use high-quality images for featured posts, and seamlessly add media to your content without overloading your hosting.

Elementor and Gutenberg Integration Designed to work with popular page builders, our plugin offers 7 customizable blocks for Gutenberg and over 7 Elementor widgets. Effortlessly add Dropbox-hosted media, galleries, sliders, and file browsers to your pages without coding.

WooCommerce Compatibility For e-commerce sites, our plugin provides a unique solution for downloadable products. Upload product files to Dropbox and offer them as downloadable products in WooCommerce. This ensures smooth delivery and saves precious server space.

Dynamic File Browser, Gallery, and Media Player Add Dropbox files as interactive elements, such as galleries or media players, directly into your content. This feature is ideal for course creators and content-heavy websites. Our Slider Carousel and Media Player are customizable to fit your brand’s aesthetic, offering both style and function.

Shortcode Builder and Custom Embeds With our intuitive Shortcode Builder, users can quickly generate and customize modules like media players, sliders, and file browsers. Embed files, set view-only permissions, and create download links—all with simple shortcodes. This means less reliance on heavy plugins and more control over your content display.

Saving Costs Without Sacrificing Quality

Using CodeConfig’s Dropbox Integration Plugin not only reduces hosting expenses but also delivers a faster, more reliable user experience. By offloading storage to Dropbox, your website can handle more traffic and richer content without performance dips.

Our responsive design ensures that these features look great on both desktop and mobile, providing a seamless experience across devices.

Lightning-Fast Media Management

WordPress users can now upload media directly through the familiar WordPress interface while the plugin automatically syncs it to Dropbox. No need to learn new tools or change your workflow - everything happens behind the scenes.

Enhanced Website Performance

By offloading media storage to Dropbox, your WordPress site becomes significantly lighter and faster. Your server resources focus on running core WordPress functions rather than handling heavy media requests.

TRENDS IN ICT

As the world of ICT continues to grow, the industry has focused on several innovations. These innovations cater to the needs of the people that benefit most out of ICT. Whether it is for business or personal use, these trends are the current front runners in the innovation of ICT.

CONVERGENCE.

Technological convergence is the synergy of technological advancements to work on a similar goal or task. For example, besides using your personal computer to create word documents, you can now use your artphone. It can also use cloud technologies to sync files from one device to another while also using LTE technology which means you can access your files anytime, anywhere. Convergence is using several technologies to accomplish a task conveniently.

Also, mobile devices use different operating systems:

1.iOS – used in Apple devices such as the iPhone and iPad

2.Android – an open source operating system developed by Google. Being open source means several mobile phone companies use this OS for free.

Blogging and digital learning

Blogging refers to writing, photography, and other media that's self-published online. Blogging started as an opportunity for individuals to write diary-style entries, but it has since been incorporated into websites for many businesses. The hallmarks of blogging include frequent updates, informal language, and opportunities for readers to engage and start a conversation.

What Is Blogging?

The word blog is actually a shortened form of its original name, "weblog." These weblogs allowed early internet users to "log" the details of their day in diary-style entries. Blogs often allow readers to comment, so as they became more common, communities sprung up around popular blogs.

If you want to create your online presence and share content you are passionate about, blogging can be a lucrative career choice. In this article, we answer, “What is blogging?”, explore its advantages, understand how you can start blogging and make money from it and share some tips for running a successful blog.

How Blogging Works

Blogging is as simple as obtaining a website and publishing original content on it. Tech-savvy bloggers can buy a domain name and build the website themselves. Those with less HTML knowledge can create an account with sites like WordPress that simplify the web design and publishing process.

Blogs are usually simple websites. Older pieces may be archived in separate sections of the site, and there may be a separate page with contact info or a bio, but the blog itself is usually just a single page that can be scrolled through—similar to the news feed on social media sites like Facebook. As with a Facebook news feed, a blog displays the newest content at the top of the page.

Pros and Cons of Blogging

Pros

Good for SEO

Maintains communication with customers

Builds rapport with customers

Generate alternate income

Cons

Time-consuming

Constantly requires fresh ideas

Payoff is delayed

Blogging in and of itself won't generate income

Requirements for a Blog

The good news is that starting a blog or adding a blog to your existing site is relativity easy and affordable. All you have to do is follow these four steps.

Set Up the Blog

There are free blog options such as WordPress and Blogger, but to retain control and a professional image, consider investing in a domain name and a hosting service. You can install WordPress or another content management system on your host if you don't want to create the whole site from scratch.

Add Content

Once your blog is up and running, you need to keep it active with new content to grow your business. Develop a set schedule for writing and posting blog articles. Create a content calendar so you always know what you're going to post.

Market

Like all other business ideas, your success comes from marketing and getting your message in front of your target market. Great ways to reach your market are through social media apps, email lists, and by reaching out to other bloggers, podcasters, and media outlets for publicity. Repurpose your blog content to promote your business across platforms, such as by using quotes on your Twitter or Instagram profiles, or by creating a video of your article to share on YouTube.

Add Income Streams

While your blog can complement an existing business, it's also a great way to add additional income streams to your home business. You can promote other companies' products and services in affiliate marketing. You can advertise or feed ad networks, such as AdSense, on to your blog. If you have a service business you're promoting with your blog, you can create your own information products to complement it. Or, if you have your own product, you can offer a service.

Wix Vs WordPress

Both Wix and WordPress offer fantastic features, regardless of whether you think a free website builder should host your blog or build an e-commerce website for selling your handcrafted items. If a feature isn't native to one platform or the other, there are programs or plugins to help you expand the functionality of your site. Your needs and goals, which you will discuss with your website application development business, will determine the best option for you.

The Difference Between WordPress and Wix in 2023

Comprehensive solutions, including WordPress and Wix*-based content management systems, are offered by seasoned website creation companies like Novalabs. Ask our specialists how to utilize the free website builder.  

What is Wix?

With Wix, you can create your own website without needing to know how to code. It's a "software-as-a-service" (SaaS) tool, meaning you pay a monthly price to utilize it rather than own the product. 

What is WordPress?

In 2003, Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little founded WordPress as a platform for blogging. Since then, it has evolved into a totally free website builder.

By the year 2022, it will be widely known. According to BuiltWith.com, the platform is currently used by about 36.5 million live websites. 

There are two distinct WordPress configurations to take into account: 

Web-based WordPress

Similar to Wix, hosted WordPress is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for creating and managing websites that can be accessed at wordpress.com. 

Although it started out as a blogging service, it is now a fully functional website builder. You pay a regular charge to use it, and in exchange, you get access to a wide range of components that help you build a website. 

WordPress Self-Hosted

You can download and install the self-hosted WordPress program from wordpress.org on your own web server. This suggests that you should get hosting so that your website has a location. Currently, WordPress is open-source, which means that the code that powers it is easily available and modifiable. 

Wix vs. WordPress: Points to consider

1. Usability

One of the simplest website builders to use to create a website is Wix. Why? You can change everything in your program without installing any additional software. Their user interface is quite simple and intuitive, especially for total beginners. They also have an Application Market where you can add features with a single click if you ever want to add more functionality. 

However, compared to WordPress, Wix requires far more work to construct a website. WordPress is also well-known for its modules and plugins. However, installing or performing them is typically not that simple. To establish a site, the software as a whole basically needs a little bit of specialized training or at the very least some development experience. 

2. Design and adaptability

There are roughly 1,000 (yes, 1,000!) free templates in Wix's layout library. They are organized into classes (websites, cafés, photographers, etc.) and are slick and modern.

Whatever the case, you can undoubtedly relax because Wix offers a perspective that is entirely transportable. Although this is totally acceptable for Google (more on this later), you might need to re-arrange a few features (using intuitive) to properly serve your site on mobile devices. 

With Wix versus WordPress, you can get the exact you need if you know CSS and HTML or, on the other hand, if you wouldn't mind investing a few hours figuring out how to update your layout's code.

3. Plugins and Apps

There are many methods to expand your industry-specific site on Wix, and you can choose from 300 free and paid applications in the application market. There are incredible apps for things like lodging reservation systems, artist picture displays, or invoice generation, for instance. The fact that some of these applications are created by Wix itself is actually extremely significant. 

WordPress is renowned for its plugins, which include those for virtual entertainment, contact management, website design improvement, and more. WordPress serves as a good example of this since there is actually a plugin for everything. Although Wix's applications are much easier to set up and maintain, your choice is subject to some restrictions. 

Conclusion

It implies that the best free website builder depends on the type of site you want to create. Hiring a WordPress website development business is perhaps the best option if you require a solid solution that will scale over time. 

However, Wix is helpful for smaller, more modest sites that take less work and have an adequate design. The choice you make in the end will rely on what you really want from your website.

Responsive Design: With the increasing use of mobile devices, having a responsive website design is essential. WordPress offers a wide array of responsive themes that automatically adjust the layout and design to fit various screen sizes, ensuring a seamless user experience across devices. This helps improve user engagement and reduces bounce rates.

It is highly scalable and can accommodate your growing needs as your website expands.

Making Your Divi Site More Accessible : Easy Wins for 2025

In today’s digital landscape, making your website accessible is no longer just a choice—it’s a necessity. Divi, one of the most popular WordPress themes, provides an easy way to create beautiful websites. However, when it comes to accessibility, it's crucial to follow best practices to ensure that everyone, including users with disabilities, can navigate and enjoy your site. This guide will walk you through some simple and effective steps to make your Divi site more accessible in 2025.

Why Accessibility Matters for Your Website

The goal of website accessibility is to ensure that all users, regardless of their physical abilities, can access and use your content. An accessible website not only expands your audience but also complies with legal standards and boosts SEO. Ensuring your Divi site is accessible provides a better experience for all users, leading to higher engagement and improved site performance.

If you're unsure where to start or need help implementing accessibility features, you might want to consider hiring a Divi theme developer who specializes in accessibility.

1. Use Accessible Fonts and Colors

One of the most important aspects of accessibility is text readability. Divi offers several customization options to help you choose fonts and color schemes that enhance visibility. Ensure that your text contrasts well with the background, making it easier for users with visual impairments to read. Additionally, opt for sans-serif fonts like Arial or Helvetica, which are generally easier to read.

By improving the readability of your website, you’re not only making it more accessible but also enhancing the overall user experience, which can contribute to better retention and engagement on your site.

2. Add Alt Text for Images and Media

Alt text (alternative text) is crucial for users who rely on screen readers. It helps describe images, videos, and other media for those who cannot see them. Divi makes it easy to add alt text to images in the settings panel.

For each image or media item on your site, make sure you add a meaningful description. Not only does this improve accessibility, but it also benefits SEO by allowing search engines to index your content properly.

If you need assistance with optimizing your images for accessibility, you could take WordPress development services to ensure everything is set up correctly and efficiently.

3. Ensure Proper Heading Structure

Headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.) are essential for both accessibility and SEO. They provide structure to your content, making it easier for users to navigate. Divi automatically assigns the H1 tag to your page title, but it's important to use H2 and H3 tags for subsections to maintain a logical hierarchy.

By ensuring your content is properly structured, you make it easier for screen readers to interpret your website and provide a better user experience for those with disabilities.

4. Add Keyboard Navigation for All Interactive Elements Not all users can use a mouse or touchpad to navigate your site. That’s why it’s essential to make sure all interactive elements, like forms and buttons, are keyboard accessible. Divi offers options to customize and add accessible navigation features. You can use plugins or custom code to enable better keyboard navigation, ensuring your website remains fully functional for all users. Regular updates and testing are key to maintaining accessibility.

5. Provide Clear and Simple Navigation A clear and easy-to-understand navigation structure is vital for accessibility. Ensure that your menus, links, and buttons are easy to find and use. Avoid cluttered layouts and focus on a streamlined user experience. Divi’s built-in navigation options allow you to create menus that are both user-friendly and accessible. For enhanced navigation, you may consider professional assistance to implement changes more efficiently.

6. Use Descriptive Link Text

Instead of generic phrases like "click here," use descriptive text that tells users exactly what they can expect when they click the link. For example, "Learn more about our services" is far more accessible than just "click here." This is important for users who rely on screen readers to navigate your site.

By making these small adjustments to your link text, you can significantly improve accessibility and ensure that all users understand where links will take them.

7. Test Accessibility Regularly

Once you've made the necessary changes to improve your Divi site's accessibility, it's essential to test it regularly. You can use tools like the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool or the Axe Accessibility Plugin to check your site’s accessibility score. Regular testing will help you identify and fix any issues that may arise.

For those who manage multiple websites or require ongoing support, WordPress maintenance services can assist in ensuring that your site remains accessible and compliant with the latest web standards.

Conclusion

Making your Divi site more accessible is not just about adhering to legal requirements - it’s about providing a better experience for all users. By implementing these simple steps, you can ensure your website is accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. From improving font readability to ensuring keyboard navigation and testing regularly, there are plenty of ways to enhance accessibility.

If you find accessibility implementation challenging or time-consuming, there are professionals who can help you make your site more inclusive. Additionally, regular updates and maintenance are crucial to keeping your site accessible and up to date.
