@dennisgoslar I have removed your admin credentials and flagged your account temporarily. That just means that your post will need to be approved and @ notifications from you will not work.

I flagged your account as a precaution to make sure that does not happen again.

13 hours ago you created and invited all the bad people on the Internet to log into your site. As an admin. That’s very bad, please delete that new account right now. Also check your site for hacks.

If you need to contact the moderators about this then you can do so via the Slack #forums channel.

To use that channel you need a Slack account. You can obtain one via these instructions.

Plugin author or anyone really, are not permitted to access user’s installations under any circumstances. If the plugin author did that then they would get into a great deal of trouble.

They would risk having their plugins removed from www.remarpro.com if they accepted anyone’s offer to access a user’s site that way.

If the author asked for that (the author did not do that here) then this would be the reply to them.

I’ve deleted your offer to login to your user’s site. I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please never ask for credentials. I have flagged your account temporarily. That just means that your post will need to be approved and @ notifications from you will not work.

Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.

If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided without warranty.

Please be aware that repeatedly asking for credentials will result in us asking you to repeatedly stop before escalating up to the plugins team.

Followed by this.

There are many ways to get information you need and accessing the user’s site is not one of them. That’s going too far.

• Ask for a link to the https://pastebin.com/ log of the user’s web server error log.
• Ask the user to create and post a link to their phpinfo(); output.
• Ask the user to install the Health Check plugin and get the data that way.
• Walk the user through enabling WP_DEBUG and how to log that output to a file and how to share that file.
• Walk the user through basic troubleshooting steps such and disabling all other plugins, clear their cache and cookies and try again.
• Ask the user for the step-by-step on how they can reproduce the problem.

You get the idea.

Volunteer support is not easy. But these forums need to a safe place for all users, experienced or new. Accessing their system that way is a short cut that will get you into real trouble in these forums.

In this case the author did not ask, you offered and posted admin credentials on a public forums.
