Cosmonorma Real Persistent Archive

Cosmonorma Real Persistent Archive (Cosmonorma RPA) adds a durable identification layer to WordPress content and media.

Instead of relying only on internal numeric WordPress IDs, URLs, slugs, or filenames, Cosmonorma RPA can assign permanent human-readable archive IDs such as:

POST-001-260923
PAGE-001-260923
IMG-001-260923
DOC-001-260923

Core principles:

• Archive IDs are assigned once and remain unchanged.
• Posts, pages, media attachments, and public custom post types can use separate configurable series.
• Media can be separated into image, document, audio, video, and other profiles.
• Existing content is not numbered retroactively unless an editor explicitly assigns an ID.
• Frontend display is optional and independent from the archive function.
• Visible media labels can optionally be prefixed with the corresponding image, document, audio, video, or other-media Archive ID.
• Each individual object can inherit, force, or suppress frontend display.
• The backend Archive Registry supports search, pagination, type filtering, and deterministic ordering.
• Registry records remain preserved even if the original WordPress object is later deleted.
• Cosmonorma RPA data is preserved by default across plugin uninstall/reinstall.
• An explicit destructive uninstall option can remove all Cosmonorma RPA registry data, counters, settings, and Cosmonorma RPA post metadata.

Archive ID patterns support these tokens:

{prefix}
{number}
{date}

The number token is mandatory.

Frontend positions include:

• Before content
• Below post meta
• In post meta line
• After content
• Before media label (image, document, audio, video, and other media)

Cosmonorma RPA follows the WordPress interface language. Translations are delivered through the standard WordPress.org language-pack system; if no translation is available, WordPress uses the English source strings.
