Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Zen Site Security

No. Your hosting provider installs the certificate (most offer free Let's Encrypt certificates in their control panel). This plugin detects the certificate, migrates WordPress to https, and keeps the site redirected and mixed-content free.

The plugin removes its .htaccess rules, and the PHP redirect stops. Your site URLs stay on https on purpose — deactivating a plugin should never push a working https site back to http. Use "Revert site to HTTP" on the settings page first if you really want to go back.

Add define( 'ZENSS_DISABLE_SSL', true ); to wp-config.php via FTP or your hosting file manager. The plugin reverts everything on the next request. Remove the line once your certificate is fixed.

Yes. The .htaccess rules skip requests that already arrive with X-Forwarded-Proto: https, preventing redirect loops. If your proxy terminates SSL and WordPress does not detect it, your proxy setup needs the standard HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO handling in wp-config.php.

No plugin can patch vulnerable code in another plugin — be wary of any that claims to. What this plugin does is defense in depth: security headers that make XSS harder to exploit, SameSite cookies that blunt CSRF, and attack-surface reduction (no file editors, no PHP execution in uploads, no XML-RPC) that turns many injection exploit paths into dead ends. Keeping WordPress, plugins and themes updated remains essential.

Version 1.x targets single-site installs. Multisite support is planned.

Yes — they are designed as a pair that fills each other's gaps. Zen Login & Authentication covers identity and login security; this plugin covers transport and platform security. When both are active, overlapping controls (like XML-RPC) are owned by exactly one of them, and site-wide security headers automatically stand down on pages where the sibling already sends them. Each plugin also works fine on its own.
