Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Shakvaro Shield
Shakvaro Shield requires PHP 7.4 or higher and WordPress 6.2 or higher. PHP 8.0+ is recommended for the best performance. The plugin is tested up to WordPress 6.7 and PHP 8.3.
No. Shakvaro Shield is designed with performance as a priority. It adds zero JavaScript or CSS to your frontend pages, uses PSR-4 autoloading so only the classes needed for each request are loaded, and the entire plugin weighs under 1 MB. The mu-plugin firewall component is extremely lightweight and adds negligible overhead to request processing.
The mu-plugin (must-use plugin) is a small firewall loader that WordPress executes before regular plugins. This allows Shakvaro Shield's Web Application Firewall to inspect and block malicious requests at the earliest possible stage, before any vulnerable plugin code has a chance to run. The mu-plugin is installed and removed automatically when you activate or deactivate Shakvaro Shield.
Shakvaro Shield is designed to be a complete security solution, so running it alongside another full-featured security plugin (such as Wordfence or Sucuri) is not recommended and may cause conflicts, especially with firewall or login protection features. However, Shakvaro Shield can coexist with specialized plugins that handle only backups, uptime monitoring, or spam filtering.
Shakvaro Shield supports Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) authentication, which is compatible with apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, and 1Password. When 2FA is enabled, users scan a QR code during setup and then enter a six-digit code from their authenticator app each time they log in. Ten single-use backup codes are also generated so users can regain access if they lose their authenticator device.
If you are locked out due to brute force protection, the lockout will expire automatically after the configured duration. If you have lost access to your 2FA device, you can use one of your backup codes to log in. As a last resort, you can disable Shakvaro Shield by connecting to your server via FTP or file manager and renaming the plugin folder (e.g., to shakvaro-shield-disabled) and removing the file wp-content/mu-plugins/shakvaroshield-firewall.php.
Activity logs are stored in a custom database table within your WordPress database. This ensures fast querying and filtering without creating files on the filesystem. Logs can be exported to CSV from the Shakvaro Shield > Tools page. By default, log entries older than 90 days are automatically purged to keep your database lean.
Shakvaro Shield sends email alerts for critical security events such as blocked attacks, failed login attempts exceeding your threshold, file integrity changes, and lockouts. To prevent notification fatigue, emails are throttled so that repeated events of the same type are batched. You can also enable a daily digest that summarizes all security activity from the past 24 hours in a single email.
