General considerations
When setting up your AudiencePlayer integration in Wordpress, please pay close attention to the following general
considerations:
- CREDENTIALS : Ensure that the AudiencePlayer OAuth credentials are never exposed on your
production website (e.g. mind debug settings and error handling).
Automatic synchronisation of all user accounts between Wordpress and the AudiencePlayer backend. Moderators may
In general, it is strongly advised to pay close attention to the security of your Wordpress site.
- SECURITY : We strongly advise you to setup security measures such as "IP-Firewall/whitelisting"
and "rate-limiting". This is especially important if you have enabled AudiencePlayer User synchronisation
(enabled by default), which greatly expands the automatic actions that this plugin takes, such as creating,
modifying and deleting users!
There are many security plugins available in the Wordpress ecosystem to consider.
Since the AudiencePlayer backend may also actively
synchronise user data with this Wordpress website, ensure that these actions are allowed in your setup (e.g. by
your Firewall plugin).
- HTTP/SSL : Ensure that HTTPS/SSL is ALWAYS
implemented on your Wordpress website. Not only does it dramatically increase overall security, it is also
required for 3rd party payment and encrypted video playback, facilitated by this plugin.
- IN PRODUCTION : While in production, before upgrading this plugin always first
test on your test/staging environment. Plugin releases follow semantic
versioning: Patch and minor updates are typically always safe roll out, however major version updates
may change or break existing functionality which may impact your integration. In any case, it is
always recommended you test first.
- TROUBLESHOOTING : This plugin keeps it own log files, mainly of the User Synchronisation
efforts, which can be viewed in the section {{SECTION_LOGS_TAB_OVERVIEW_TITLE}}.
They can be useful in case of any problems.
