## Description

wp-blocked simply provides a query frontend to the Blocking Middleware for WordPress.
It allows you to show a search box to search for blocked or censored URLs. The results
are provided via the Blocking Middleware API.
 See what this plugin does on [https://censorship.exposed](https://censorship.exposed)
or on [https://blocked.org.uk](https://blocked.org.uk).

The Blocking Middleware is a censorship monitoring API developed by the OpenRightsGroup
and needs to be run on a server in order to allow the plugin to query its database.
This plugin as well as the API are Free Software. To install the Blocking Middleware
server see the [Blocking Middleware code repository](https://github.com/openrightsgroup/Blocking-Middleware).
This is the [API’s documentation](https://wiki.openrightsgroup.org/wiki/Censorship_Monitoring_Project_API).

This plugin supports the use of the polylang multilanguage plugin.
