</div>

<?php
// Check if content is protected
if (daon_is_protected(get_the_ID())) {
echo '<div class="protection-badge">';
echo '🛡️ Protected by DAON';
echo '<a href="' . daon_get_verification_url(get_the_ID()) . '">Verify</a>';
echo '</div>';
}
// Get protection details
$protection = daon_get_protection_details(get_the_ID());
if ($protection) {
echo '<p>Protected: ' . $protection['date'] . '</p>';
echo '<p>License: ' . $protection['license'] . '</p>';
}

🔍 Advanced Features
Conditional Protection
// Only protect posts with certain criteria
add_filter('daon_should_protect_post', function($should_protect, $post_id) {
$post = get_post($post_id);
// Don't protect drafts or private posts
if ($post->post_status !== 'publish') {

Custom Protection Workflows
// Multi-step protection workflow
add_action('publish_post', 'daon_queue_protection', 20);
function daon_queue_protection($post_id) {
// Add to protection queue instead of immediate protection
wp_schedule_single_event(time() + 300, 'daon_process_protection_queue', [$post_id]);

// Recent edit, delay protection another 5 minutes
wp_schedule_single_event(time() + 300, 'daon_process_protection_queue', [$post_id]);
} else {
// Stable content, proceed with protection
daon_protect_post($post_id);
}
}
}
🛡️ Security & Performance
Performance Optimization
// Cache protection status
function daon_is_protected_cached($post_id) {

}
$is_protected = get_post_meta($post_id, '_daon_protected', true) === '1';
wp_cache_set($cache_key, $is_protected ? '1' : '0', '', 300); // Cache for 5 minutes
return $is_protected;
}
// Async protection processing
add_action('wp_ajax_daon_protect_post', 'handle_async_protection');
function handle_async_protection() {
check_ajax_referer('daon_protection_nonce');
$post_id = intval($_POST['post_id']);
