Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Guardian

WP Guardian gives site owners a clear place to enable practical safeguards, including file editing restrictions, directory browsing protection, optional nG .htaccess rules, and security checks for plugins, users, and REST access.

After activation, open WP Guardian in your WordPress dashboard and begin with the Security Assessment. It highlights the local checks you can review and the protection to ask your host or CDN to provide.

No. WP Guardian handles safeguards inside WordPress and, where supported, optional .htaccess rules. Your host or CDN should still provide web application firewall rules, rate limiting, bot protection, DDoS mitigation, and origin access controls.

The nG firewall uses .htaccess rules, so it is intended for Apache and LiteSpeed servers. The plugin shows a compatibility notice when the server does not support those rules.

Yes. Each available measure can be reviewed and changed from the WP Guardian settings. Make one change at a time, then check that your site and any important forms still work as expected.
