Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HT Security

Successful logins, failed logins, CVE vulnerabilities (if enabled), vulnerable WordPress version alerts (if enabled), and available plugin updates (if Plugin Update Management is enabled).

Yes, through the settings page.

Yes, since version 1.1.0 we added this functionality to provide clear security visibility for administrators.

The plugin queries the NVD (National Vulnerability Database) to check for known vulnerabilities in WordPress Core and active plugins. The check runs automatically every 12 hours and can also be run manually.

It's not required, but recommended. Without an API Key, the rate limit is 5 requests per 30 seconds. With a free API Key, it increases to 50 requests per 30 seconds, making checks much faster.

Yes! In HT Security settings there's an option to disable badges on the plugins page. The top alert will continue to work.

You can close alerts on the plugins page by clicking the X. They won't reappear until the next vulnerability check. The dismissed state is saved per user.

The plugin blocks attempts to list users through the REST API and redirects via author parameters.

Go to Settings > HT Security > Login Captcha, enable it and choose SVG (built-in) or Cloudflare Turnstile (requires free keys from https://dash.cloudflare.com → Turnstile). The captcha applies to the login, password reset and registration forms.

No. The SVG captcha is generated entirely on your server and never makes external requests. The Cloudflare Turnstile option loads the official Turnstile script from challenges.cloudflare.com and verifies the token via Cloudflare's siteverify API.
