Апісанне
Anni is a marketing assistant for small businesses in Switzerland (anni-marketing.ch). This companion plugin lets Anni finish your Google setup automatically after you connect your WordPress site:
- Outputs the Google Analytics 4 tag (gtag.js) in your site’s head — only if you (or Anni, with your permission) configure a measurement ID.
- Outputs the Google Search Console site-verification meta tag — only if a verification token is configured.
- Provides a small authenticated REST endpoint (
anni/v1) so the Anni app can read plugin status and set the two values above. All endpoints require themanage_optionscapability (administrators). Requests are authenticated with WordPress Application Passwords.
The plugin itself does not track visitors, does not send data anywhere, and stores only two options (anni_ga4_id, anni_gsc_verification). The Google Analytics tag is only loaded if a measurement ID has been explicitly configured; in that case Google’s terms for Analytics apply.
External services
This plugin connects your site to the Anni marketing platform (https://anni-marketing.ch), operated by
digitale rakete GmbH (https://digitalerakete.ch), so that Anni can complete your Google setup for you.
What the plugin itself sends: nothing. The plugin does not initiate any outbound request. It only
receives authenticated REST requests from the Anni app and stores/prints two values on your site.
When your site is contacted: only after you connect your website inside your own Anni account and
create a WordPress Application Password for it. The Anni app then calls the endpoints below using
that password:
GET /wp-json/anni/v1/status— reads whether the plugin is active and which values are set
(requires themanage_optionscapability).POST /wp-json/anni/v1/ga4— stores your Google Analytics 4 measurement ID (requiresmanage_options).POST /wp-json/anni/v1/gsc— stores your Google Search Console verification token (requiresmanage_options).
Data involved: your GA4 measurement ID and your Search Console verification token. No visitor data,
no personal data and no site content is transmitted by this plugin.
Google Analytics: if — and only if — a measurement ID is configured, the plugin prints Google’s
standard gtag.js snippet, which loads https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js in visitors’ browsers.
This is Google’s service, used under your own Google Analytics property. Google’s terms and privacy

- Alternatively, set the options manually via WP-CLI or the REST endpoint.
Часта задаваныя пытанні
-
Does this plugin track my visitors?
-
No. It only prints the Google Analytics tag if you configure a measurement ID. Without configuration it outputs nothing.
-
Who can change the settings?
-
Only authenticated WordPress administrators (
manage_options), typically via an Application Password issued by you. All three endpoints require this — including reading the plugin status. -
Does it work without an Anni account?
-
Yes — you can set the GA4 ID and the Search Console token yourself; the plugin is a minimal, dependency-free head-injector.
-
Why does this plugin re-enable Application Passwords?
-
Anni connects to your site exclusively through WordPress Application Passwords (the built-in
authorize-application.php flow — you approve the connection yourself, no password typing).
Some security plugins disable Application Passwords globally, which silently breaks that
connection. If you install this plugin, you explicitly want the Anni connection, so it makes
the feature available again — but only for Anni: authorization requests from any other
application keep whatever policy your security plugin enforces. WordPress’ own HTTPS
requirement for Application Passwords stays untouched.

1.1.6
- Application Passwords availability is now restored surgically instead of globally:
authorization requests whose application name does not start with “Anni” keep the policy
enforced by your security plugin (both availability filters plus the
wp_authorize_application_password_request_errors hook, scoped the same way). - Added a dismissible admin notice after activation pointing back to Anni (no redirect).
- Added a FAQ entry explaining why and how the plugin re-enables Application Passwords.
1.1.5
- Restore Application Passwords availability via the
wp_is_application_passwords_available
filter (latest priority) — some security plugins disable the feature globally, which breaks
the Anni connection entirely. WordPress’ HTTPS requirement stays untouched.
1.1.4
- Author URI auf https://digitalerakete.ch umgestellt (die alte Adresse hatte kein
gueltiges Zertifikat und wurde vom Review geruegt). - Firmenname in readme.txt an das Impressum angeglichen: digitale rakete GmbH.
1.1.3
- Tightened the
/statusREST endpoint to requiremanage_options(wasedit_posts), matching the other two endpoints and this readme’s own description.
1.1.2
- Added the required “External services” documentation.
- Corrected the documented capabilities to match the code (status: edit_posts, writes: manage_options).
1.1.0
- Search Console verification meta support (
anni/v1/gsc).
1.0.0
- Initial release: GA4 tag output + status endpoint.
