Hi Robert! Glad to hear you like the idea of …

Shield Central Set For Its Debut Release!
Hi! Thanks for your comment and glad you got it working.

I’d be curious to hear what was causing the delay? It might be useful for other people to know.

And yep, Lets Encrypt is fantastic tech and easily the better option for setting up great SSL quickly.

Thanks again!

One Less Thing For You To Do: Monitor Your WordPress Core Files For Hacks!
Hi Terry,

Glad you like the new v7 interface.

The exclusions you mention for that scanner used to be in place but they got “lost” in the transition to v7. We’ve reinstated these and those filed will be ignored in the scan from v7.1 onwards.

Shield should be ignoring inactive themes and it already detects child/parent themes. Have a check to make sure your child-parent setup is exactly as you think it is. We’ve seen several cases where people thought it was setup as a child-parent, but it wasn’t…

Thanks!
Paul.

Part 3: WordPress Firewall – Shield Security Plugin for WordPress
Hi George,

Shield does have this option – you’ll find it under the IP Manager module. It is a Pro-only feature so you’ll need to upgrade to access it. But at $12/year, it’s not a lot… and you get all the other Pro extras too 🙂

Thanks,
Paul.
