Description

wp-blocked simply provides a query frontend to the Blocking Middleware for WordPress. It allows you to show a search box to search for blocked or censored URLs. The results are provided via the Blocking Middleware API.
See what this plugin does on https://censorship.exposed or on https://blocked.org.uk.

The Blocking Middleware is a censorship monitoring API developed by the OpenRightsGroup and needs to be run on a server in order to allow the plugin to query its database. This plugin as well as the API are Free Software. To install the Blocking Middleware server see the Blocking Middleware code repository. This is the API’s documentation.

This plugin supports the use of the polylang multilanguage plugin.
