Questions

How to use plugin filters

Check out our Snippet Library.

Cache Plugin Support

WP Maintenance Mode can be unstable due to the cache plugins; we recommend deactivating any cache plugin when maintenance mode is active. If you really want to use a cache plugin, make sure you delete the entire cache after each change.

Exclude list

If you change your login url, please add the new slug (url: http://domain.com/newlogin, then you should add: newlogin) to Exclude list from plugin settings -> General Tab.

Notice: wp-cron.php is excluded by default.

How to report a security issue?

Plugin security is a core priority for us. If you identify a potential vulnerability, we ask that you disclose it responsibly.
