Don't use this plug in if you don't want your core files changed

  • This caused me no end of problems, you have to change your core files to make it work right. NO plugin should have to do that. Now I have to figure out how to get core files changed back as it is interfering with other plugins from working. Wordfence is no better, let a hacker in and kicked me out. Best bet for security is one that is not as invasive as the this one and Wordfence.

  • You shouldn’t change files around if you don’t know what you are doing, the plugin is very clear that the step is optional and substantial.

    Too true, it was indeed a mistake of a newbie like myself. Then again I now have Sucuri and Simple Firewall that DON’T have to change root files to operate and protect my site. There might be a lesson there!
