@aaron D. Campbell sorry but I’m done with this plugin, did you really just remind me of the forum guidelines…funny.

It will be easier to just delete this plugin completely across hundreds of sites and install another one (Sucuri/Wordfence or All in One Security % Firewall) rather than spend the time to fix each one.

I’m sure in the big picture it doesn’t really matter to you, just the same I won’t be recommending it to anymore clients or colleagues.

@dwinden thanks for the tip on where to find advanced settings and things that are missing, I was pre-occupied trying to fix settings and stop being inundated with email notices.

I’m sorry if you are offended by me posting related experiences and problems I’m having with the update of this plugin, and in your eyes it’s equal to a “randomly dump anything” mindset on my part. Granted I went off a bit quick but these are problems we are experiencing and besides not being able to find things easily at first there are other issues.

I didn’t realize you were a moderator and dictate how people should respond, my apologies. Will you be answering the questions posted initially by @boriskrielen which is the same thing I am experiencing plus other problems or just stick to “Sounds like a bug since iThemes states in the New Dashboard FAQs section on this page that all old settings are migrated to the new iTSec Dashboard when updating to the 5.4.0 release.”

That’s not really helpful…but thanks just the same.

Oh my mistake malware scanning is there, off in the right sidebar now.

Can’t disable ‘local brute force protection”
Can’t disable “File Change detection” automatically sets to email notifications on update too.
Malware Scanning option is gone…oh wait is it only available in pro now.

What a disappointment.

‘Away Mode’ has no options in it to do anything

oh and you can’t disable 404 detection…

A bug? This is a great big screw up, we have 100’s of sites using this plugin and I am getting notice after notice of lock outs, backup zip files being emailed from sites we never had set up to email along with ’email lockout notifications being set to enable, all other settings lost on multiple installations.

It is not a user friendly ‘new improved’ dashboard, where is hide the back end feature and now my email is automatically added to receive updates under the Network Brute Force Protection? Each section has to be saved individually or your new settings will revert back, sometimes it refreshes back to the top sometimes it doesn’t.

Did they do any QA or testing before launching…sure doesn’t seem like it was very intensive if there was. Unfortunately a lot of our sites are set to auto update, going to change that straight away and going to delete this plugin and use something else. I would highly advise NOT to update this plugin and look for an alternative or wait until they sort it out.
