After WP update WP till 6.8, can’t login to sites! My customers become angry! We use Pro version, paid for it. But after this bug, we uninstall from all sites!
Problem was solved!
I’m the author of plugins and themes on envato for more than 10 years. experienced many malicious code incidents. i went looking for plugins to prevent and minimize the infection of malware, i was thinking to write security plugins but i found rsfirewall. It’s so great, it completely meets our requirements. This is a plugin that deserves 100 stars.
Very good lightweight firewall. Other firewalls are cpu/memory intensive, but RSFirewall does a solid job and is feature rich.
Really, really good plugin, have been using it since Joomla days 😉
Now after last update, os ok 🙂
