Protect your sensitive details with GhostPress. Centralise company and legal info in WordPress shortcodes while blocking bots, scrapers, RSS, and REST API from harvesting private data.

Plugin Overview
GhostPress is a privacy-focused plugin that centralises your company and legal data into a single settings page. From there, you can output any value with a simple shortcode, such as . The plugin then injects the values using CSS so they appear in the browser but are much harder for bots and scrapers to collect.
Key benefits:
- One place to manage all company, contact, and legal details.
- Easy shortcodes for use in posts, pages, or templates.
- Automatic CSS injection makes data visible but bot-resistant.
- RSS feeds and REST API are scrubbed of sensitive shortcode output.
- Flexible fields include company info, VAT, banking, disclaimers, and team contacts.
How it Works and What to Expect
- Centralised Data – Enter details like company name, addresses, VAT ID, support email, banking info, or team members on the GhostPress settings page.
- Shortcodes – Use fields anywhere on your site via shortcodes, e.g. or .
- CSS Injection – Instead of printing the data in the HTML, GhostPress injects it via CSS ::after, keeping bots from scraping your info directly.
- Bot & Feed Blocking – Shortcodes are stripped from RSS feeds and REST API responses to prevent leaks.
- Empty Fields – If a field is left blank, nothing is shown — no risk of broken layouts.
Expect a cleaner, safer way to publish mandatory business details without handing them to every spam bot.
