Method 2: Using the WordPress Shortcode

You can add the badge using a shortcode:

1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
2. Go to Settings → WPMissionControl.
3. Copy the Security Badge shortcode.
4. Paste the shortcode into any page, post, or widget. For best results, we recommend placing it in the footer so it appears consistently across your site.

The shortcode will generate the same Security Badge without needing to edit HTML directly.
