Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Karetaker

No. Karetaker watches and alerts. It does not filter HTTP traffic.

Not by default. There is no login lockout or renamed login URL in the default set. Hardening toggles are opt-in and reversible from Karetaker → Protection.

Define KARETAKER_DISABLE as true in wp-config.php, or create wp-content/karetaker-disable. The plugin then boots nothing.

Agency tools (issue tracking with owners, incident cases, client reports, role access and the read-only API) are no longer part of Karetaker. Everything that watches your site, alerts you and protects it stays here and stays free: every check, every alert channel, the weekly summary, all protections and the activity export.

No. Uninstall drops the events table, plugin options, and cron hooks.

Run wp karetaker incident. That runs a deeper multi-pass scan and shows a checklist (admins, plugins, uploads PHP, integrity, Guard, passwords). If you think someone else is logged in, use Karetaker → Protection → "Sign out all administrators". Karetaker does not clean malware or lock anyone out; it is a guided review, not a clean certificate.

Yes. Karetaker does not ship a WAF, does not lock logins by default, and does not write server config. wp karetaker status prints the host safety profile as JSON, and Site Health reports scan freshness, Guard flags, and the same profile. Kill switch: KARETAKER_DISABLE or wp-content/karetaker-disable.

By default, only integrity checks contact WordPress.org to fetch published core/plugin checksums (same family of APIs WordPress itself uses). Optional features you turn on yourself may also leave the site: ACT alert emails (to the address you choose), an ACT webhook POST (to the URL you set), Slack Incoming Webhooks, Telegram Bot API, Discord and Microsoft Teams webhook messages (when enabled), the weekly summary and end-of-pause emails (when enabled), and vulnerability lookup requests to wpvulnerability.net (plugin slug only,

page twice (once with a Googlebot user agent); it does not contact Google. Karetaker does not phone home to Team Krikir and does not load third-party scripts or ads.
