Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Bot Lockout
No, the plugin is designed to be transparent to legitimate users. It only presents a challenge once per day per browser, and the challenge is solved automatically via JavaScript.
Users with JavaScript disabled will be blocked. This is by design as the protection relies on JavaScript execution to distinguish between real browsers and bots.
Yes, you can add user agent strings for trusted bots like Googlebot, Bingbot, and other search engines in the plugin settings.
