We use IONOS as our hosting provider and they offer an external firewall to protect the server. We normally restrict the ports below to a range of IP addresses. 22 8443 8445 21 49152-65535 This covers - SSH, FTP and Plesk login attempts before they even hit the server. Are there any possible...

We use WP-Rocket with our Plesk server. We are looking to enable NGINX caching and serve all content via NGINX. WP-Rocket have suggested that the NGINX-Helper plugin has automatic compatibility with WP-Rocket however - They suggest that you have to add additional NGINX settings to allow the...

Also experiencing issues with screenshot bot. It seems to disrupt my WP ALL IMPORT processes. I have followed these steps to prevent it crawling my websites for this reason.

Thanks Peter, This issue is still resolved @maartenv Thank you both for your input.

Looking at the log files I can see a number of entries from SeekportBot. I think this is it. it is a german search engine. I am going to block it to see if it resolves the issue. Any advice on the best way to block this in conjunction with the Block Bad Bots tool in WordPress toolkit? I do...

I have added this to robots.txt already but it is ignoring it. IP address - AW Web Stats does not record the IP address of specific bots. I do not have the IP address for the bot. Any suggestions?

@Peter Debik @maartenv After enabling bot protection I am seeing a useragent called seek now browsing the site using 1-2gb worth of bandwidth. (user-agent: seek) I cannot find any information about this bot. Have you ever encountered this user agent before? I cannot find any information about...

Managing multiple sites - Yes restoration into a different folder first is a lot of trouble. We may have to agree to disagree here. I do not think this is an option in Plesk? I would have to take the backup, extract it manually into a new folder then manually overwrite files to suit the...

Hi @Mr.D I would expect the restore to match the backup. Merging seems a bit daft with how WordPress databases work. I had to purchase a media clenser app to fix the problem. https://meowapps.com/media-cleaner/ The pro version can scan the file system / uploads folder and compare it to the...

Thanks Peter, I have enabled this for the site that was experiencing problems. I am now waiting for a TTFB score update on Google page speed to see if this has resolved the problem. Otherwise I will need to go back to the drawing board and see if I can find the cause of the issue.

When using WP-Tookit to take a backup of a site and then restoring it. I have found that it is not deleting files added to the media library after a restoration. For context - I am bulk importing products and files into a WooCommerce site. I create a backup in WP-Toolkit for the specific...

@maartenv @Peter Debik Probably more important is: Can you confirm that when I tick the Enable Bot Protection option - That Google, Bing, Yahoo, Duck Duck Go and other GOOD bots are not blocked and that only bad bots are blocked? You can see why I wouldnt just blindly enable this as there is...

Thanks Peter, I had this exact solution give or take from a google search but I couldnt tell if it was working or not or whether listing multiple bots like that in an array would work so I have them listed individually at the moment. I'll wait to hear back regarding the official answer before I...

@ @Peter Debik Thanks for responding. Would it be possible for you to post your list anyway or what it actually does? If I turn it on does it insert lines in htaccess? Or directives somewhere else? Context - One of my sites is having TTFB response time issues, the VPS server has 83 websites...

I too noticed little performance difference using REDIS in a Docker Container. I use the Bitnami implementation because it comes with a few extra variables that make setup easier. I have disabled it for now but may re-visit in the future. This will benefit WooCommerce sites more than others. I...

What bots does the enable bot protection in WordPress Toolkit for Plesk actually do? Is it a modification to htaccess? Is it php directives? How can I see this list? Can I edit this list? Seems a bit bold to put an option in for blocking bad bots without any documentation.
