Validate BIMI and DMARC settings for a domain directly in WordPress. Use shortcode [bimi_checker] to embed the checker anywhere on your site.

== Description ==

BIMI Checker is a WordPress plugin that allows you to validate **BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification)** and **DMARC** records for any domain.

Features include:

* Input form with domain and optional selector (defaults to `default`)
* BIMI checks:
  - Locate BIMI record (`selector._bimi.domain.com`)
  - Parse `a=`, `l=`, and `avp=` tags
  - Ensure HTTPS URLs are used
  - Differentiate between self-asserted vs. VMC
* DMARC checks:
  - Verify `_dmarc.domain.com` exists
  - Confirm `p=` and `sp=` are `quarantine` or `reject`
  - Ensure `pct=100` (or default)
  - Warn if `rua=` is missing
* Results shown with ✅ / ⚠️ / ❌ indicators
* Preview card showing the domain logo and example inbox view
* Modern, mobile-friendly design

Use the shortcode `[bimi_checker]` to embed the form anywhere on your site.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is BIMI? =
BIMI stands for *Brand Indicators for Message Identification*. It lets email senders display a verified brand logo in inboxes, provided the domain has strong authentication in place.

= What do I need for BIMI to work? =
A domain with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC in place (`p=quarantine` or `p=reject`), plus a properly formatted BIMI record. Some inbox providers also require a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC).

= Can I use this plugin to fix my records? =
No — this plugin only checks and reports. You’ll need to update your DNS records at your DNS host or provider.

= Does it work on mobile? =
Yes. The layout is responsive and adapts to smaller screens.
