The free Humanums WordPress plugin adds verified human content badges to your posts. Enter a certificate code in the editor, and readers see proof that your writing is real — with a single click to verify.
Add a certificate code in the post editor meta box and the badge appears automatically below (or above) your content.
Use the [humanums] shortcode or sidebar widget to place badges exactly where you want them.
Badge data is cached with WordPress transients so it never slows down your page loads.
Write your content on humanums.com or with the Chrome extension. Certify it to get a short code like HM-7K2X-9M4N. Then open your WordPress post, paste the code into the Humanums Certificate meta box, and click Verify. The plugin fetches your certificate data and displays the badge on your published post.
Readers see a recognizable Humanums badge linking to a public verification page where anyone can confirm the certificate is valid.
By default the badge appears below your post content. You can change this to above the content or switch to manual mode and use the [humanums] shortcode to place it anywhere inside the post body. There is also a sidebar widget for displaying a badge in any widget area.
Choose between inline, full, and compact badge sizes. Pick a dark or light theme to match your site design. Optionally show the human confidence score alongside the badge. Add a custom CSS class for further styling control.
The plugin sends only the certificate code to the Humanums API — no user data, no post content, no visitor information. Certificate data is cached locally using WordPress transients with a configurable duration (default: 24 hours). Badge images load from the Humanums CDN with proper width and height attributes to prevent layout shift.
Upload the humanums folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or search for Humanums in the WordPress plugin directory. Activate it, then find the Humanums Certificate meta box on any post.
