## Description

**Give credit where it’s due!** Acknowledgify is a lightweight and flexible plugin
that allows developers, freelancers, and agencies to showcase their contributions
to a website.

Key features include:

 * **humans.txt Generator** – Automatically create a virtual `humans.txt` file to
   recognize contributors such as developers, designers, and agencies.
 * **Meta Tags for Acknowledgment** – Insert author, designer, developer, and publisher
   meta tags dynamically into the `<head>` section.
 * **Customizable Footer Link** – Add a discreet, styled acknowledgment link in 
   the footer with flexible placement options:
    - **Auto-Insert**: Automatically place the link at the bottom of the site.
    - **Shortcode**: Use `[acknowledgify_madeby_footer]` in any post, page, or widget
      for custom placement.
    - **PHP Snippet**: Manually insert the acknowledgment via `<?php if (function_exists('
      acknowledgify_display_madeby_footer')) { echo acknowledgify_display_madeby_footer();}?
      >`.
 * **Lightweight & Compatible** – Designed for performance, fully compatible with
   WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 8.0+.
 * **Built to be Translated** – Includes translations and supports further multilingual
   setups.
 * **Export/Import Features** – Simplify plugin setup across multiple websites with
   seamless export and import functionality.

With Acknowledgify, you can showcase your work in a non-intrusive way while maintaining
flexibility over how and where the acknowledgment appears.

Translation-Ready & Multilingual Support:
 Acknowledgify is fully **translation-
ready** and supports multiple languages via WordPress.org’s translation system. 
Translations will be automatically downloaded based on your site’s language settings.

## FAQ

### What is a `humans.txt` file?

A `humans.txt` file is a simple text file placed at the root of a website to credit
the people and technologies behind it.

### Will this plugin slow down my website?

No. Acknowledgify is lightweight and dynamically generates the acknowledgments without
unnecessary database queries or file writes.

### Can I customize the acknowledgment text?

Yes! The plugin provides customizable templates for `humans.txt`, meta tags, and
footer text.

### Will it work with my theme?

Acknowledgify is tested with major themes and page builders like Gutenberg, Elementor,
Bricks, and Divi. If your theme has custom footer structures, manual placement options
are available.

### Is this plugin translation-ready?

Yes! Acknowledgify is fully translation-ready and supports automatic translations
via translate.wordpress.org.

### What options are available for inserting the footer link?

Acknowledgify provides three flexible options for inserting the footer acknowledgment
link:
 – **Auto-Insert**: Automatically adds the acknowledgment link at the bottom
of the website. – **Shortcode**: Use `[acknowledgify_madeby_footer]` within posts,
pages, or widgets for precise placement. – **PHP Snippet**: Developers can manually
insert the acknowledgment link within theme files using `<?php if (function_exists('
acknowledgify_display_madeby_footer')) { echo acknowledgify_display_madeby_footer();}?
>`. – These options provide full control, making it easy to integrate the acknowledgment
into various layouts.
