<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the following external services:
<h4>1. WordPress.org Checksums API</h4>
<ul>
<li>Service URL: <code>https://api.wordpress.org/core/checksums/1.0/</code></li>
<li>What it does: Retrieves the official MD5 checksums for all WordPress core files so the plugin can verify that no core file has been modified or tampered with.</li>
<li>When data is sent: Only when a core integrity check is explicitly triggered by the site administrator via the authenticated REST API endpoint <code>/security/core-integrity</code>.</li>
<li>What data is sent: The installed WordPress version number and the site locale (e.g. <code>en_US</code>). No personal data is sent.</li>
<li>Service provider: WordPress.org (Automattic Inc.)</li>
<li>Terms of use: <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/domains/" rel="ugc">WordPress.org Terms of Service</a></li>
<li>Privacy policy: <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/" rel="ugc">WordPress.org Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>2. WordPress.org Translations API</h4>
<ul>
<li>Service URL: <code>https://api.wordpress.org/translations/plugins/1.0/</code>, <code>https://api.wordpress.org/translations/themes/1.0/</code>, and <code>https://api.wordpress.org/translations/core/1.0/</code></li>
<li>What it does: Returns the latest available translation package versions for plugins, themes, and WordPress core in the site’s locale, so the plugin can determine which translations need updating.</li>
<li>When data is sent: When translation updates are checked, either on demand or as part of a full updates check, explicitly triggered by the site administrator via the authenticated REST API.</li>
<li>What data is sent: Plugin/theme slugs, their version numbers, and the site locale. No personal data is sent.</li>
<li>Service provider: WordPress.org (Automattic Inc.)</li>
<li>Terms of use: <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/domains/" rel="ugc">WordPress.org Terms of Service</a></li>
<li>Privacy policy: <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/" rel="ugc">WordPress.org Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
These are the only two external services this plugin connects to. No other HTTP requests are made to any third-party service.
<h4>Important note about domain name references in the source code</h4>
The plugin’s security scanner contains a hardcoded list of well-known, legitimate third-party domain names used as a local string-matching whitelist only. This list includes domains such as:
<ul>
<li>google-analytics.com, googletagmanager.com, googleapis.com</li>
<li>maps.google.com, maps.googleapis.com</li>
<li>tawk.to, crisp.chat, intercom.io, zendesk.com</li>
<li>cdn.jsdelivr.net, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, code.jquery.com, unpkg.com</li>
<li>recaptcha.net, gstatic.com</li>
</ul>
These domains are NOT contacted, called, or connected to in any way by this plugin. No HTTP requests, API calls, or any form of network communication is made to any of these domains.
The domain names appear as plain string constants in a PHP array. When the security scanner analyzes post and page content for potentially malicious script injections (e.g. <code><script src="..."></code> tags), it compares the <code>src</code> attribute against this whitelist using local string matching. Scripts referencing whitelisted domains are recognized as legitimate and excluded from the scan results, reducing false positives. The entire comparison happens locally in PHP memory — no data leaves the server.

Configuring the FTP connection in admin option page, also you can assign the images path in the panel.

<ul>
<li>“FTP Host Name” is the URL or IP address of FTP connection for you image hosting.</li>
<li>“FTP Port” is the FTP port number and it’s usually 21. Keep the default value if you don’t know what it is.</li>

<li>“FTP Password” is the password of FTP connection.</li>
<li>“FTP Root Path” is the images’ folder path in your image hosting, and it also replaces the image url which upload from media library on your web site.</li>
<li>“FTP Folder Path” is the folder saving files in image hosting. Keeping the default value “/” if your “FTP Root Path” is pointed to the image folder. You can change it after adding the folder on the image hosting.</li>
</ul>
The source code was made by Pontus Abrahamsson from <a href="https://github.com/pontusab/wp-ftp-media-library" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/pontusab/wp-ftp-media-library</a>. This plugin integrates the function of deleting remote server files and the visual options page for non-developer user, also making the plugin structure with WordPress plugin boilerplate with OOP.
