openai moderation for attachments and comments

running a small website can be a hassle when idiots upload nasty stuff or spam your comments. this plugin uses openai's moderation api to automatically check images and comments for bad content.

why use this plugin?

it keeps your site clean by blocking offensive or illegal images and comments before they become a problem. saves you headaches.

features

attachment moderation: images are checked during upload. flagged images are blocked from being accessed.
comment moderation: comments are reviewed before they're saved. flagged comments are set to unapproved.
admin integration: see moderation status directly in your media library and comments list. detailed info available in edit screens.
easy setup: just add your openai api key in the settings.

installation

upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/, or install through the wordpress plugins screen.
activate the plugin.
go to settings > openai moderation and enter your openai api key.

how it works

attachment moderation

when an image is uploaded, the plugin sends it to openai's moderation api using the omni-moderation-latest model.
if the image is flagged, the plugin blocks access to it by sending a 403 forbidden response when someone tries to view it.

comment moderation

before a comment is saved, the plugin checks the content with openai's moderation api.
flagged comments are set to unapproved, so they won't show up on your site unless you approve them.
