General Settings

General Settings Overview

The General Settings module provides comprehensive configuration for your cryptocurrency platform with secure API key management, Telegram integration, VIP commission rates, and regulatory compliance features. All sensitive data is automatically encrypted using AES-256-CBC encryption.

API Configuration & Encrypted Storage

Secure API key management with automatic AES-256-CBC encryption for all sensitive credentials. The system supports multiple payment gateways and cryptocurrency exchange integrations.

Supported API Integrations

API Key Security & Encryption

Binance API Setup — Step by Step

The Binance integration powers live prices, the Trading Exchange and order routing. Set it up once and the rest of the plugin works automatically.

Generating the API Key Pair

1. Log into your Binance account at binance.com.
2. Open Account → API Management (top-right user menu).
3. Click Create API, choose System generated, give the key a label (e.g. "wpcrypto-platform"), and complete the security checks.
4. Copy the API Key and Secret Key immediately — the secret is only shown once.

Required Permissions

IP Access Restrictions

Configuring the Plugin

1. Open WP Crypto → General Settings in your WordPress admin.
2. Paste the API Key and API Secret into the Binance fields.
3. Choose the environment:
   • Production — live trading on real Binance.
   • Testnet — recommended while configuring pairs / fees / risk policy. No real funds move.
4. Save. The plugin encrypts the credentials with AES-256-CBC before writing them to the database.

Binance API Proxy URL (Geo-Block / HTTP 451)

Binance geo-blocks some hosting providers' IP ranges, regardless of where the server is physically located — the WHOIS label on the outbound IP is what matters. When the API responds with HTTP 451 — Unavailable For Legal Reasons, you do not need to migrate hosting; you only need to route the calls through a thin proxy whose own IP Binance accepts.

Symptoms

• Live Crypto Prices do not load, the page logs 451.
• Trades cannot be submitted — the order form returns "Could not reach price feed".
• Direct curl https://api.binance.com/api/v3/ping from your server returns HTTP/1.1 451.

Quick Diagnostic

If your hosting provider is one of the commonly-blocked names (Hostinger US, certain DigitalOcean / Linode regions, etc.), or if whois <your-server-ip> shows a US label, you almost certainly need a proxy. Servers in Contabo NL, Hetzner DE, OVH and most EU-located dedicated IPs are usually unaffected.

Recommended Fix: Free Cloudflare Worker Proxy

Cloudflare's Workers free tier (100,000 requests / day) is far more than a small platform needs and takes about 5 minutes to set up.

1. Sign up at dash.cloudflare.com (free).
2. Open Workers & Pages → Create application → Create Worker, give it a name (for example binance-proxy), click Deploy.
3. Click Edit code, replace the default script with the snippet below, and click Save and Deploy:

   export default {
     async fetch(request) {
       const url = new URL(request.url);
       const target = 'https://api.binance.com' + url.pathname + url.search;
       const resp = await fetch(target, {
         method: request.method,
         headers: { 'User-Agent': 'CF-Worker-Proxy/1.0' },
       });
       const body = await resp.text();
       return new Response(body, {
         status: resp.status,
         headers: {
           'Content-Type': resp.headers.get('Content-Type') || 'application/json',
           'Cache-Control': 'public, max-age=10',
           'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
         },
       });
     },
   };

4. Copy the Worker URL — it looks like https://binance-proxy.<your-account>.workers.dev.
5. In WP Crypto → General Settings, paste that URL into the Binance API Proxy URL field and save.

The plugin will route every Binance call through the Worker. Test by reloading the live prices page or running a small market buy on the testnet — both should succeed with HTTP 200.
