Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Guard Forge – Security, Login Protection, 2FA & Audit Log

No. Every protection runs on your own server, and the one thing that reaches the network needs no account: the file-integrity scan asks wordpress.org for the official checksums of your WordPress version and your wordpress.org plugins, and says nothing about you. See External services above. Nothing else in this plugin ever leaves your site.

Pro features ship in a separate "GuardForge Pro" add-on. Install this free plugin first, then add Pro from https://avakode.com.

Only what each feature needs. Nothing about your site reaches Avakode, the company behind GuardForge, from this plugin at all: its one outgoing request is the integrity scan's checksum lookup, and that goes to wordpress.org. See External services above. GuardForge Pro is a separate plugin; its own readme lists what it sends and where.

Press "Verify chain" on the audit-log screen. Every row carries the hash of the row before it, so an edited field breaks its own row, and a deleted row leaves the next one pointing at a hash the table cannot produce — the check names the first row that failed. Restoring a database backup over a live log will break it too, for the same honest reason. On a log larger than fifty thousand rows the check covers the oldest part and says plainly that it was truncated, rather than dying half-way and leaving you an empty screen; there is no resume yet, so lower the retention window if your log is routinely that big.

Only for the things that should. Each channel has its own minimum severity and you can batch the traffic into an hourly or a daily digest instead of sending it as it happens. Quiet hours hold ordinary alerts until the hour you name — but a lockdown and a malware finding are let through immediately, which is why every signal carries a category as well as a severity. Alerts are part of the Pro add-on.

GuardForge is designed to coexist with Wordfence, Sucuri, iThemes Security, and similar plugins. If you notice a conflict, please open a support thread.
