Plugin / SAR One Click Security

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If you use a plugin like Wordfence Security, or any other security plugin that gives you similar functionality (these that writes rules to .htaccess), you should not be using this plugin or another security plugin. Using more than one security plugin at once can give you unexpected results. Anyway, SAR One Click Security is a pretty friendly plugin, it adds his security rules without interfering in any other existing content in your .htacces file. In fact I’m using SAR One Click Security + All In One WP Security & Firewall in some sites that I manage. So technically you can do it if you know what you’re doing, but if you do you’re at your own risk. No support for problems due to the use of another security plugin together with this one.
The plugin doesn’t touch any of the current content of your .htaccess file, it only adds its own rules when you activate it, and removes its own rules when you deactivate it.
Yes. If you install this plugin in another server rather than Apache (nginx, IIS, etc…) the plugin only will show a notice in your WordPress admin dashboard, no modifications will be made.
Yes. But you must add the following line to your wp-config.php file BEFORE activating the plugin. define('SAR_ALLOW_TIMTHUMB', ''); That will allow you to use all features of the plugin excerpt for the TimThumb blocking rule. If you activated the plugin before inserting the above line in your wp-config.php file, simply deactivate/activate the plugin to allow access for timthumb.php and thumb.php (another file name used for TimThumb). And if you want to turn off TimThumb support, simply remove the previous mentioned line and deactivate/activate the plugin.
If you get an error 500 page after activating the plugin this means that your hosting provider doesn’t allow you to set some (or any) settings from your .htaccess You can manually uninstall plugin’s .htacces rules by open your favorite FTP client and removing all content between # BEGIN SAR One Click Security and # END SAR One Click Security in your .htaccess file located in the root directory of your WordPress installation. And doing the same in the .htaccess file located in the wp-content dir (or deleting the file if no more content on it).
That means that you’re running Apache 2.4.x SAR One Click Security can detect automatically your server version and use the new syntax for Apache 2.4 to prevent these lines in your logs if the version number is available from PHP. But if your ServerTokens directive in your Apache configuration is set to ‘Prod’ (recommended setting), it’s not possible to check the version number from PHP, so you will need to add the following line to your wp-config.php define( 'SAR_APACHE24_SYNTAX', true); That will force SAR One Click Security to use the Apache 2.4 syntax in the rules added. You will need to deactivate the plugin and activate it again if you have added that line to your wp-config.php after activating the plugin.
