I would like to mention that this being my first plugin, it is heavily based on Matt Mullenweg’s Hello Dolly plugin. The facts are taken from Wikipedia and I’m planning to add more to the list soon.
This plugin ensures that all users who utilize this plugin can be updated with facts about WordPress.

Here is a short description of the plugin.

Papy3D Fact Viewer for Chuck365 is a modern and lightweight plugin designed to add a touch of humor to your WordPress site. It automatically retrieves a unique Chuck Norris “fact” every day via the official Chuck365.fr API.
The plugin is built with performance and security as top priorities:
<ul>
<li>Optimal Performance: It utilizes the native WordPress Transients API to cache the daily fact locally, ensuring your site remains fast and minimizes external server requests.</li>
<li>Maximum Security: Developed according to 2026 coding standards, the plugin includes strict data sanitization, XSS protection, and CSRF validation. </li>
<li>Full Customization: A dedicated administration panel allows you to adjust colors, titles, and display options to perfectly match your theme.</li>
</ul>
Note on External Services: This plugin connects to <code>https://chuck365.fr/api.php</code> (API) to fetch daily facts. This is a mandatory external service for the plugin to function as intended.
