Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about KW Members Fortress

Files too — that's the point. Requests to /wp-content/uploads/… are routed through WordPress and served only to logged-in members. The only exception is a small public sub-folder, uploads/kw-members-fortress/public/, which holds just your chosen login background and logo so they can load on the logged-out login screen.

On Apache/LiteSpeed the upload-protection rule is added to .htaccess using WordPress' own marker API (the same mechanism core uses for permalinks), inside a clearly-marked block. Deactivating the plugin removes the block and restores normal file serving.

A tiny sentinel file lives in the plugin's folder inside uploads (uploads/kw-members-fortress/canary.txt — a location that must stay locked). About once an hour, while you're in the dashboard, the plugin requests that file's URL without sending your login cookies. If the file comes back, the gate isn't working and you get a red dashboard warning. It only ever contacts your own site — it is not a third-party service. I'm on nginx and files are still reachable. nginx configuration can't be edited from PHP, so the plugin shows the exact location snippet to add to your server block. Add it and reload nginx; the Lockdown tab and the self-test will confirm the seal.

Yes. Under Footer & Pages, set a slot to Built-in page, give it a title and content, and it renders on its own theme-less page that's reachable without login (and noindex). Images embedded inside that content won't display to logged-out visitors, since uploads stay locked — use text and HTML. The login throttle locked me out. After several failed logins from one IP, a short, growing cool-down is applied; it expires on its own (no permanent lockout). Note that visitors sharing one office/NAT IP share the counter. You can turn the throttle off on the Lockdown tab.

Deactivating removes the .htaccess rule and turns protection off — by design. Deleting honours the Advanced → "remove all data" option: leave it off to keep your settings, or turn it on to remove the settings and the public-asset folder on uninstall.
