Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about XccelaSecure plugin

Can I change the number of allowed login attempts?

Yes, you can easily adjust the maximum number of allowed login attempts using the input field on the settings page. The default is set to protect your site, but you can customize it according to your needs.

How does XML-RPC blocking work?

When enabled, all requests to xmlrpc.php will be blocked with a 403 Forbidden error. This prevents brute-force attacks that commonly target the XML-RPC functionality in WordPress.

What happens if I exceed the login attempt limit?

The user will be temporarily locked out for 5 minutes after exceeding the allowed login attempts. This helps prevent brute-force attacks while allowing legitimate users to regain access after the lockout period.

Is XccelaSecure compatible with other security plugins?

XccelaSecure is designed to be lightweight and compatible with most WordPress installations. However, we recommend testing with other security plugins to ensure there are no conflicts, especially with similar features like login limiting.

Does disabling file editing affect my ability to customize themes?

Yes, when file editing is disabled, you won't be able to edit theme or plugin files directly from the WordPress admin dashboard. This is a security feature that prevents unauthorized file modifications. You can still customize themes using FTP or cPanel file manager.
