常见问题
-
Does this plugin phone home or collect analytics?
-
No. Trufend does not send site data to external services by default. Optional Pro upgrade links can be changed with the
trufend_pro_upgrade_urlfilter. -
Will uninstalling remove my data?
-
Yes. When you delete the plugin, Trufend removes its database tables, settings, scheduled events, and stored backup archives by default. Use the
trufend_uninstall_delete_backupsfilter if you want to keep backup files. -
Does the plugin modify wp-config.php?
-
Only when Pro is active and you enable the file editor protection toggle. Trufend adds a managed
DISALLOW_FILE_EDITconstant and removes it on uninstall when possible. -
Can I use this on multisite?
-
Yes. When network-activated, settings can be managed network-wide and per-site tables are cleaned up on uninstall.
-
How does the IP Lock (brute-force protection) work, and how do I unblock myself?
-
Trufend tracks failed login attempts per IP address. Once an IP exceeds the configured threshold it is blocked and redirected away from the login page. If you lock yourself out, you can unblock your own IP directly from the Trufend IP Lock settings page while logged in from a different IP, or by temporarily deactivating the plugin via FTP/cPanel and re-activating it after adjusting the threshold.
-
What does the Malware Scanner check for?
-
The scanner inspects PHP files inside your WordPress installation for suspicious patterns commonly found in malware — things like obfuscated
eval(base64_decode(...))calls, hidden backdoors, and injected redirect scripts. It flags files that match known bad signatures so you can review and remove them. It is a file-pattern scanner, not a real-time firewall, so it works best as a periodic check alongside your regular backups. -
Does Trufend replace a server-level firewall or a WAF?
-
No — and no WordPress plugin can fully substitute for server-level protection. Trufend tightens common WordPress-specific attack surfaces (login abuse, XML-RPC, user enumeration, insecure headers) and gives you visibility into suspicious activity. For defence in depth, combine it with a reputable hosting provider, a CDN-based WAF (such as Cloudflare), and strong file-system permissions. Think of Trufend as an essential application-layer layer on top of your infrastructure security, not a replacement for it.
