## 描述

ObitMaker Lite gives membership organisations, associations, and community groups
a structured way to publish and manage obituaries on their WordPress website.

It is built around a one-time setup principle. Configure the Sentence Builder once
to define how obituary announcements are worded, then every new obituary is created
by filling in the details. The announcement text is built automatically from your
templates.

#### Key Features

**Obituary Management**
 * Custom post type for obituaries, separate from normal
WordPress posts * Auto-generated post titles from first name, last name, and date
of death * Featured image support for obituary photos * Standard and legacy obituary
templates

**Sentence Builder**
 * Define announcement templates using simple and conditional
phrase tokens * Conditional phrase tokens suppress missing fields automatically *
Separate templates for standard obituaries, legacy historical records, funeral details,
wake details, and Roll of Honour entries * Live preview updates as you type * Named
link tokens for directions and other per-obituary links

**Roll of Honour**
 * Display obituaries whose date of death falls in the current
month * Configurable Roll of Honour sentence template * Shortcodes for current month,
specific month, all entries, all entries by year, and category-based obituary lists*
Supports both ObitMaker obituaries and existing WordPress post obituaries

**Book of Condolences**
 * Visitors submit condolence messages directly on the obituary
page * Messages held for admin moderation before appearing publicly * Email notification
when a new message is received * Edit, approve, or delete messages from the admin
panel * Spam protection with an arithmetic question and honeypot field * CSV export
of condolence messages

**Comments & Tributes**
 * Display tribute messages collected from other sources
such as email, letters, or social media * Text formatted as `Name: message` displays
the name in bold automatically * Collapsible panel on the public obituary

**CSV Export**
 * Export stored obituary records to a CSV spreadsheet for backup,
reporting, or migration

#### ObitMaker Pro

ObitMaker Pro is a separate plugin available outside WordPress.org. ObitMaker Lite
is fully functional as distributed on WordPress.org.

## 常见问题

### Does ObitMaker work with any WordPress theme?

Yes. ObitMaker uses a custom post template and shortcodes that work with any properly
coded WordPress theme. The plugin includes its own CSS for the obituary display 
and admin panels.

### Can I restrict obituaries to logged-in members only?

For member-only or private pages, use WordPress page passwords or a membership plugin
alongside ObitMaker Lite.

### Does ObitMaker work with existing WordPress post obituaries?

Yes. The Roll of Honour shortcodes support both ObitMaker obituary posts and existing
WordPress posts assigned to the Roll of Honour category. The standalone shortcodes`[
obitmaker_lite_book_of_condolences]` and `[obitmaker_lite_comments_tributes]` can
be added to any post or page.

### Is ObitMaker GDPR compliant?

ObitMaker provides tools to manage obituary data and condolence submissions responsibly.
Site administrators are the data controllers and are responsible for their own GDPR
compliance.
