WordPress Plugin
The Footprint OnChain plugin adds your site's full fingerprint — the build-id meta tag, the hidden canary marker, and both monitoring beacons — to every page of your WordPress site automatically. No code editing, and nothing your visitors can see.
Free for Footprint OnChain customers. The plugin installs the fingerprint; your monitoring, alerts, timestamps, and evidence packs are the service itself, set up by Pearce Studios.
Current version: 1.0.0 · Requires WordPress 5.8+ and PHP 7.4+ · File: footprint-onchain.zip
You will need your Build ID and canary phrase — both are in the plugin install details we send when your protection is set up. No account yet? Get protected first, then install.
Use the button on this page and save footprint-onchain.zip — do not unzip it; WordPress wants the zip itself.
In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip, then Install Now and Activate.
Go to Settings → Footprint OnChain, enter your Build ID and canary phrase exactly as given, and save. The settings page confirms your protection is ACTIVE.
Every page now carries your fingerprint. If your site is ever copied, we will know — and so will you.
No — the plugin installs your fingerprint, which is one half of the system. The protection service (registration, content stamps, monitoring, alerts, and evidence packs) is what watches that fingerprint and acts on it. The plugin is for Footprint OnChain customers; if you are not set up yet, start there.
No meaningful impact. The plugin outputs a meta tag, a hidden marker, one small script that loads last (async), and a 1-pixel stylesheet beacon — the same tiny footprint as our hand-installed snippet.
In the plugin install details Pearce Studios sends when your protection is set up. (Your regular setup confirmation email deliberately leaves the canary out — the canary is half of your fingerprint, so it travels separately.) Lost them? Call 510-619-0213.
Each protected website has its own Build ID and canary. Install the plugin on each of your WordPress sites and use that site's own details — your plan determines how many sites you can protect.
