If you have the JSON, this plugin will render it consistently, accessibly, and without sending data to third parties. Key features * Vendor-agnostic: Works with any DPP JSON source. No provider lock-in. * WooCommerce ready: Adds a meta box on product edit screens to store the JSON. * Human-readable HTML view: Clean accordion layout with friendly labels (for example,“ End of Life and Circularity”), tuned for Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation( ESPR) naming styles. * JSON view: Inspect the raw JSON in a formatted code block; one-click Copy JSON. * Shortcode and Block: Insert the viewer with a shortcode or the included Gutenberg block. * Classic Editor button: “Insert Digital Product Passport” modal for quick shortcode setup. * Accessibility: Keyboard navigation, ARIA roles, semantic HTML (details/summary). * Responsive: Looks great on phones, tablets, and desktops. * Privacy by design: No tracking, no external calls, no cookies. * Translation ready: All strings can be localized. Why this plugin * One viewer for WordPress and WooCommerce that is independent of provider. * Displays your DPP from post/product meta in a consistent way across themes. * Uses only the JSON you supply and renders it locally in the browser. ### Usage * Quick start: 1. Edit any post, page, or WooCommerce product and find the “Digital Product Passport” meta box. 2. Paste valid JSON and update/publish. The plugin stores it as post meta. 3. Insert the viewer where you want it to appear using either the shortcode or the block below. * Shortcode: `[digital_product_passport]` - By default renders the JSON saved in the meta box for that post/product. - You can also pass inline JSON via the `json` attribute (single quotes recommended around the JSON): - Example: `[digital_product_passport json='{"id":"urn:uuid:123","type":"Product"," name":"Sample"}']` - Attributes: - `json`: Inline JSON to render (optional). If omitted, uses the saved post meta JSON. - `view`: `html|json` to pick the default tab (default `html`). - `show_raw`: `true|false` to force JSON (deprecated; overrides `view`). - `title`: Optional title displayed above the viewer. - `limit`: Number of top-level sections to show before a Show more toggle. ` 0` (default) shows all. - `include`: Comma-separated list of section keys/labels to include (case-insensitive; matches raw keys or humanized labels). Example: `include="id,type,manufacturer"`. - `exclude`: Comma-separated list of section keys/labels to hide. Example: ` exclude="identifiers,documentation"`. - `order`: Comma-separated preferred order of sections. Items not listed keep their natural order after these. Example: `order="id,type,manufacturers,identifiers"`. - `more_label` / `less_label`: Override the Show more/Show less button text. - Examples: - `[digital_product_passport view="html" title="Digital Product Passport"]` - `[digital_product_passport view="json"]` - `[digital_product_passport limit="5" order="ID,Type,Manufacturers" exclude ="Documentation"]` - `[digital_product_passport include="ID,Version,Language,Identifiers" more_label ="Show all details" less_label="Show fewer"]` - Note: The legacy `[dpp]` shortcode has been removed to comply with wp.org prefixing guidelines. Use `[digital_product_passport]`. * Block (Gutenberg): “Digital Product Passport” - Add the block and (optionally) paste JSON in the block settings to override the post/product meta for that block. - Choose the default tab (HTML or JSON) in the block inspector. * Classic Editor: Use the “Digital Product Passport” toolbar button - Click the button, pick a title and default view (HTML or JSON), then insert. It uses the JSON saved in the meta box. * WooCommerce: On product edit screens, the same meta box is available. Place the`[ digital_product_passport]` shortcode in any product description area or block to display the viewer on the product page. * Viewer controls (front end): - Tabs switch between HTML and JSON. The JSON view has a “Copy JSON” button. - Large passports show a Show more/less toggle when `limit` is set. * Troubleshooting: - If you see “No Digital Product Passport JSON found.”, either save valid JSON in the meta box or pass JSON via the shortcode `json` attribute. - Ensure the shortcode `[digital_product_passport]` is present where you expect the viewer to appear. ### Compliance and Privacy * Privacy by design: No tracking, no external calls, no cookies. * Data handling: DPP JSON is stored as post meta and rendered client-side. Nothing is sent to third parties. * Security: Output is escaped and JSON is normalized server-side before embedding. * Accessibility: Semantic HTML with ARIA, keyboard navigation, and visible focus. * Performance: Minimal CSS/JS loaded only when the viewer is present. ### External services * None required: This plugin does not connect to, depend on, or transmit data to any third‑party/external service. No data leaves your site when rendering a passport. * Example placeholders: The sample JSON shown in the editor includes illustrative links such as `https://example.com` and `https://example.com/manual.pdf`. These are placeholders for demonstration only; the plugin does not fetch or otherwise contact those URLs. Replace them with your own documentation links as needed. * Namespaces in SVG: The editor/block icon contains inline SVG markup that references the XML namespace `http://www.w3.org/2000/svg`. This is a namespace identifier, not a network request or external service. No third‑party terms of service or privacy policies apply because the plugin does not use any external services. ### GDPR and EU Privacy Notes * Personal data scope: This plugin does not collect, track, or profile users. It only renders the DPP JSON you provide. If your JSON contains personal data (for example, a contact person’s name or email), you are the controller of that data. * Lawful basis: Ensure you have a lawful basis under GDPR to publish any personal data included in the DPP. Prefer business contacts or shared inboxes over named individuals where possible. * Data minimization: Avoid including personal data unless strictly necessary for the product passport. Consider using role-based contacts (e.g., support@example. com). * Data location and transfers: The plugin does not perform network requests or transfer data to third countries. Any links inside your JSON are rendered as links only; the plugin does not fetch or proxy them. * Retention: DPP JSON is stored as post meta and retained until you edit or delete the post/product or remove the meta. * Data subject rights (DSR): The plugin does not store visitor-level personal data, so it does not add custom exporters or erasers. If you include personal data in DPP JSON, handle DSRs by updating/removing the JSON in your content. * Privacy Policy helper: The plugin registers guidance for Tools > Privacy so you can include accurate information on your site’s Privacy Policy page. * Redaction hooks: Developers can filter or redact fields before display using the `digital_product_passport_viewer_data` filter. * Access control: The viewer displays wherever the post/product is visible. Use WordPress visibility/roles or your membership tools to restrict access if needed. * Disclaimer: This is not legal advice. Consult your legal counsel to confirm compliance for your use case. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Digital Product Passport ## Installation 1.
