By default, WordPress restricts SVG uploads due to potential XML-based vulnerabilities( such as Cross-Site Scripting and XML External Entity attacks). Svigent Tools solves this by implementing enterprise-grade DOM-level sanitization on upload, giving you complete peace of mind while designing beautiful, resolution-independent vector graphics. #### Key Features * **Enterprise-Grade SVG & SVGZ Sanitization:** Automated XML inspection powered by `enshrined/svg-sanitize` to strip malicious scripts, event listeners, and dangerous entities before files reach your disk. * **Native Media Library Previews:** Automatically fixes broken 1×1 or invisible SVG thumbnails in both Grid and List views in `wp-admin/upload.php`. * **Automatic Dimension Detection:** Parses `viewBox` and `width`/`height` coordinates on upload and writes them to WordPress attachment metadata to preserve natural aspect ratios. * **Zero-Overhead Frontend Inlining:** Replaces target `` elements with raw` ` using lightweight client-side Vanilla JS (< 2KB), enabling dynamic CSS styling (`fill: currentColor`) and hover animations. * **Smart In-Memory Caching:** Deduplicates identical SVG network requests so repeated icons on a page are downloaded only once. * **Dynamic DOM Observer:** Fully compatible with Gutenberg block insertion, Elementor, and AJAX infinite scroll using `MutationObserver`. * **Role-Based Upload Permissions:** Restrict SVG upload privileges to Administrators only or extend permissions to all users with upload capabilities (Authors/Editors). * **Lossless Vector Scaling:** Skips unnecessary raster thumbnail generation (GD/ Imagick) and disables redundant `srcset` generation to conserve server disk space. ## Screenshots [⌊Svigent Tools Settings Screen: Intuitive configuration with live security status badge and 1-click selector copy helper.⌉⌊Svigent Tools Settings Screen: Intuitive configuration with live security status badge and 1-click selector copy helper.⌉[ **Svigent Tools Settings Screen:** Intuitive configuration with live security status badge and 1-click selector copy helper. ## Installation 1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard. 2. Navigate to **Plugins Add New**. 3. Search for **Svigent Tools** or upload the `svigent-tools.zip` archive. 4. Click **Install Now** and activate the plugin. 5. Go to **Settings Svigent Tools** to configure permissions and inlining preferences. ## FAQ ### Why does WordPress restrict SVG uploads by default? SVG files are XML documents, meaning they can contain executable JavaScript and external entity references that could lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) or XXE attacks. Svigent Tools strips all hazardous elements during upload while preserving all visual graphics, gradients, and shapes. ### How do I render an SVG inline on the frontend? 1. Enable **Frontend Inline Rendering** under **Settings Svigent Tools**. 2. Add the class `style-svg` (or your custom selector) to any Image block or element. 3. Svigent Tools will automatically convert the `` tag into an inline `` element on the frontend. ### Does Svigent Tools work with page builders? Yes! Svigent Tools works out of the box with the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg), Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi, and classic themes. ### Do I need to write code to use Svigent Tools? No! Svigent Tools works automatically. Once enabled, you can upload SVGs and style them using simple settings in your WordPress Admin. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Svigent Tools” is open source software.
