Dizze plugin **is net hifke mei de lêste 3 grutte releases fan WordPress** . It 
kin net langer wurde ûnderhâlden of stipe en kin kompatibiliteitsproblemen hawwe
as it wurdt brûkt mei resinte ferzjes fan WordPress.

## Beskriuwing

Automatically encrypt certain WordPress messages using your GPG public key to ensure
no one but you can ever read the message.

This is primarily used to secure password reset emails so, even if an attacker were
to gain access to your email account, they couldn’t change your WordPress password.

## Ynstallaasje

#### Requirements

This plugin requires PHP 7 or greater to operate. It _does not_ check for PHP compatibility
directly and _will not work_ if installed on an older server.

The GPG functionality requires GPG to be installed and available to WordPress. The
plugin will try to test for this functionality upon activation, but _will not work_
if GPG is unavailable.

#### Manual Installation

 1. Upload the entire `/secure-messaging` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate Secure Messaging through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

  Installation Instructions

#### Requirements

This plugin requires PHP 7 or greater to operate. It _does not_ check for PHP compatibility
directly and _will not work_ if installed on an older server.

The GPG functionality requires GPG to be installed and available to WordPress. The
plugin will try to test for this functionality upon activation, but _will not work_
if GPG is unavailable.

#### Manual Installation

 1. Upload the entire `/secure-messaging` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate Secure Messaging through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

  Does the server sign messages as well?

Not by default. On many installations, the GPG keychain folder needs to live in 
the `/wp-content` directory and might be readable by third parties. To avoid leaking
GPG secret keys, none are ever added by the system in the first place. This means
the server can’t sign messages before they’re sent.

  Is there a limit to the size of the GPG key I can use?

Not to my knowledge. We’re using Pear’s [Crypt_GPG](http://pear.php.net/package/Crypt_GPG)
module, which defer’s to the server’s GPG module directly. So long as GPG itself
supports a key, this plugin will as well.

  What if my host doesn’t support GPG?

Not every host does. Most self-hosting platforms will have GPG support by default,
but some (like _WP Engine_) do not support the GPG subsystem and will not allow 
you to proactively encrypt messages.

I highly suggest you look into a managed host like [Liquid Web](https://www.liquidweb.com/managedwordpress/),
who _does_ support GPG, for your hosting needs.

_Note:_ This plugin has been tested to work with both Liquid Web’s managed WordPress
hosting platform and the [Dockerized WordPress](https://github.com/10up/wp-local-docker)
system published by [10up](https://10up.com/).
