01 / The publishing record

Give your publishing history a record people can inspect.

Publishing dates tell part of a story. ContentLedger adds records of the content, its stated source, and its changes, with evidence that can be examined separately.

01

Publication details

Record the source URL, title, publisher-reported author, publication dates, and content fingerprints for an eligible version.

02

Revision history

Keep relationships between recorded versions so an update can be understood in the context of earlier evidence.

03

Separate evidence checks

Connect signatures, archive references, and timestamp proofs where available. A submitted request and a completed check are different things.

04

Portable evidence

Export supported evidence for inspection beyond the WordPress site. A certificate gives readers an accessible starting point for understanding those records.

02 / How it works

From publication to an inspectable record.

INTEGRATED PUBLISHING

The workflow for integrated certificate publishing.

  1. 01

    Publish in WordPress

    Publish a public page or post using WP ContentLedger.

  2. 02

    Record the version

    The plugin records supported publication data and a content fingerprint, then submits that evidence to the central certificate repository.

  3. 03

    Inspect the certificate

    The repository provides a stable certificate address with source details, recorded revisions, and the results of the checks it has performed.

When supported content or certified metadata changes, the plugin adds a new certificate revision while keeping the same certificate address. Delivery and additional proof checks can take time.

THE $299 LIFETIME DEAL

One purchase.
Every site you manage.

Put your publishing history on the record across your own sites and client websites, with a separate certificate allowance for every site.

Explore the $299 lifetime deal

$299 USD, paid once through PayPal. Manual purchase approval and buyer email verification are required. Lifetime covers the operating lifetime of the product and included service. Updates while maintained · 12 months of individual email support · 30-day full refunds after approval and access delivery. Read the license and terms →

Unlimited sites
Use the plugin on sites you own or are authorized to manage, including client websites. No per-site license charge.
500 new certificates / site / month
Every site has its own allowance. Capacity is not pooled or transferable, and unused allowance does not roll over.
Revisions stay connected
Ordinary updates to an existing certificate do not use another new-certificate slot. Backfilling older content does count.

03 / The certificate repository

Follow the evidence behind a publication.

Open the certificate repository to review a publication’s source, attributed author and publisher, recorded versions, and available evidence. Each certificate identifies which checks were completed and which remain pending or unavailable.

04 / What the evidence means

Different checks. Different questions.

Understand what each record tells you.

Content fingerprint
Do these bytes match?
Helps check whether a defined set of bytes matches a recorded fingerprint.
Signature
Which key signed this?
Connects a record to a signing key. Identity and authorization require their own checks.
Independent timestamp
What time bound is supported?
A verified timestamp can support a time bound for particular evidence.
Archive reference
Is there a separate capture?
Points to a separate record of the public URL, when available.

A certificate does not, by itself, establish human authorship, copyright ownership, originality, factual accuracy, or the first publication of an idea.

A publisher-reported publication date, the time a repository accepts a record, and an independently verified timestamp are different kinds of evidence.

05 / Questions & answers

A little more on the record.

The lifetime offer, site allowances and the practical details behind publication evidence.

Contact Brian about the project
What does lifetime access mean?

Lifetime refers to the operating lifetime of WP ContentLedger and its included certificate service, not your lifetime or guaranteed forever hosting. Existing LTD buyers retain unlimited eligible sites and the 500-new-certificates-per-site monthly allowance, with no recurring license fee or mandatory upgrade for core included service while it operates. Read the license and terms.

How long are certificates retained?

Accepted certificates and their recorded history are retained while the certificate service operates, subject to withdrawal, privacy, legal and abuse requirements. Uninstalling or temporarily disconnecting a site does not automatically delete its certificates. Keep portable evidence exports and your own backups. For a planned service closure, we provide at least 90 days’ notice and an export opportunity where reasonably possible. Read the license and terms.

What is the refund policy?

Request a full refund within 30 calendar days after both purchase approval and access delivery; the window starts with the later event. You do not need to demonstrate a defect. We do not deduct payment-processing fees and target processing valid requests within five business days. PayPal/provider posting times vary. Mandatory consumer and payment-provider rights remain separate. Read the license and terms.

Are updates and support included?

All updates released as part of WP ContentLedger are included while the product is maintained. Individual email support is included for 12 months after approval and access delivery, starting with the later event. Afterward, documentation, included updates, bug/security reporting and assistance with account access and service incidents remain available while the relevant service operates. We target an initial response within two business days, not a guaranteed resolution time. Read the license and terms.

What does the $299 lifetime deal include?

A one-time payment of $299 USD covers WP ContentLedger for unlimited eligible sites you own or manage, including client sites. Each connected site has its own allowance of 500 new certificates per UTC calendar month. There is no per-site license charge. Lifetime means the operating lifetime of WP ContentLedger and its included service. Product updates are included while maintained; individual email support lasts 12 months. A 30-day full refund window starts after approval and access delivery. Read the license and terms.

Is the 500-certificate allowance shared across my sites?

No. Each site gets 500 new certificates per UTC calendar month. One site’s activity does not reduce another site’s allowance, and unused capacity cannot be transferred between sites or carried forward. Read the license and terms.

What counts toward the monthly allowance?

A new certificate counts once, when the repository first successfully accepts the evidence for a new publication. Backfilling older posts and pages uses the same allowance in the month they are first accepted. Ordinary revisions to an existing certificate, withdrawals and exact duplicate retries do not use another new-certificate slot. Ordinary revisions remain subject to service safeguards against excessive use. Read the license and terms.

When does the allowance reset, and what happens at 500?

Each site’s allowance resets on the first day of each month at 00:00 UTC. Unused allowance does not roll over. Once a site reaches 500 new certificates, additional new certificates wait for its next monthly reset. Eligible revisions and withdrawals can continue; existing certificates do not consume the new month’s allowance. Read the license and terms.

Can I use the license on client websites?

Yes. Connect sites you own or are authorized to manage, including client sites, using your verified buyer account. Each site has its own allowance. Unlimited sites is permission to use the plugin on those sites; it is not permission to resell or share your buyer account. Read the license and terms.

How do payment, approval and activation work?

When purchasing opens, pay $299 USD through PayPal. We manually check and approve the completed payment, then an automatic verification email goes to your buyer account email. Confirm that email, install the plugin and authorize each site with its email connection code. Approval is manual, so activation is not immediate. If your PayPal email differs from the email you want for your buyer account, provide both when requesting approval. Read the license and terms.

What is WP ContentLedger?

WP ContentLedger is a WordPress plugin for recording evidence about published content. It brings publication metadata, content fingerprints, revision relationships, and available supporting proofs into an inspectable history.

What is a publication certificate?

A publication certificate is a public view of a recorded work and its evidence. It can show the original URL, author and publisher as reported by the source, recorded versions, and verification results. The central repository gives each work a stable certificate address separate from the publisher’s website.

How do I verify a certificate?

Open the certificate link provided by the publisher, or visit the certificate repository. Check the original source URL, select the relevant version, and review each evidence result. A pending or unavailable check should not be treated as verified.

What happens when I update a post or page?

Changes to supported content or certified metadata create a new certificate revision. Earlier records are retained under the repository’s publication and withdrawal policy, and the main certificate address continues to identify the work. Delivery status shows when the new revision has been accepted.

Does a certificate prove authorship or ownership?

A certificate records evidence and attributed claims. Hashes, signatures, and timestamps can support particular integrity and timing checks, but they do not independently establish who wrote the content, who owns its copyright, whether it is original, or whether its claims are true.

Is my article stored on the Bitcoin blockchain?

No. When OpenTimestamps is enabled, a cryptographic commitment derived from the evidence is used for timestamping. The article itself is not stored on-chain. A repository receipt, a pending timestamp proof, and an independently verified Bitcoin timestamp are different evidence states.

Is the certificate the same as an archived copy of my page?

No. A certificate presents metadata and evidence about a publication. An archive capture is a separate record of the page. Keeping a manifest or content fingerprint does not, by itself, preserve the complete article or let someone reconstruct it.

Is this an independent third-party authority?

The central repository hosts records separately from participating WordPress sites. Separate hosting does not by itself establish independent governance. The service should identify its operator and explain exactly which evidence checks it performs.

What happens if I unpublish a page or make it private?

The integration handles these changes as withdrawal events. Public certificate details can be suppressed while permitted audit evidence is retained. Publication, withdrawal, and retention policies determine what remains stored and visible; withdrawal does not erase every previously distributed copy.

Can evidence be checked without the original WordPress site?

Supported portable evidence exports can be inspected outside WordPress using the browser package checker at verify.wpcontentledger.com. What can be verified depends on the artifacts included and the verifier used. A content fingerprint alone cannot recreate a missing article, and evidence retention is different from guaranteed permanent availability.

Will this improve SEO or AI visibility?

ContentLedger makes publication evidence easier to inspect and connect to its source. Search engines and AI systems decide whether and how to use those records. The project does not promise rankings, citations, rich results, or an E-E-A-T score increase.

Will I need a second plugin, and can I install this now?

Certificate publishing is integrated into WP ContentLedger; a second plugin is not required. The repository and publishing workflow are live and being finalized. The launch offer is $299 USD once for unlimited eligible sites and 500 new certificates per site per UTC month. Purchase approval and buyer email verification are required. Public purchase and installation availability will be announced when ready. Contact Brian about the project.
