The trust certificate page is the public-facing verification view for your website.
It typically presents:
Example:
https://YOURDOMAIN.com/?tie_verify=1&id=YOUR_IDUse iframe embeds for maximum compatibility, especially on external sites where scripts may be blocked, stripped, or restricted by content security settings.
<iframe
src="https://YOURDOMAIN.com/?tie_widget_iframe=1&id=YOUR_ID&theme=dark&mode=compact"
style="border:0;width:100%;max-width:520px;height:54px"
loading="lazy"></iframe>https://YOURDOMAIN.com/?tie_seal_iframe=1&id=YOUR_ID&template=shield_1&theme=dark&size=mdUse this endpoint when you want a smaller seal-style trust display.
The plugin exposes verification data in JSON format through its API layer.
Example endpoint:
https://YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-json/trust-engine/v1/verify?id=YOUR_IDUse cases include:
The plugin schedules a daily recalculation event using WP-Cron. This process updates trust data and stores snapshots used by the trend view.
Scheduled hook:
tie_daily_recalcIf the trend area says there are not enough snapshots yet, that usually means the plugin needs at least two completed recalculation cycles before drawing a line.
wp-cron.php. This improves consistency for scheduled trust updates.
Prepare 8–15 clean screenshots that show both admin and public-facing functionality.

10-diagnostics-panel.pngNo. WooCommerce is optional. The plugin can still work without it, but WooCommerce enhances trust metrics when available.
Use the iframe widget format. If embedding is still blocked, check server headers such as X-Frame-Options or restrictive content security policies.
The trend line needs saved history points. Wait for at least two daily recalculations or ensure WP-Cron is running correctly.
The plugin provides an honest printable HTML export so buyers and reviewers are not misled. The report can still be saved as PDF using the browser print dialog.
Yes. That is one of the main purposes of the verification certificate page.
| Problem | Likely cause | Suggested fix |
|---|---|---|
| Widget does not display | Blocked scripts or iframe restrictions | Use iframe mode and review server security headers |
| Trend line not showing | Not enough saved snapshots | Wait for scheduled recalculations and confirm WP-Cron is running |
| Score or grade not updating | Stored data not refreshed yet | Check settings, cron execution, and latest verification data |
| API returns homepage or wrong content | Incorrect endpoint used | Use the REST endpoint shown in this documentation |
| Reports page empty | Incomplete setup or missing stored data | Complete setup wizard and confirm trust data has been generated |
