With an intuitive dashboard, detailed statistics, and advanced settings, Guardify empowers you to secure your site effortlessly. ### 🔐 Key Features: * **Advanced Web Application Firewall (WAF)** Intercepts and filters all incoming traffic before it reaches WordPress. Blocks SQL injection, XSS, RFI, LFI, and other attack vectors. * **Brute Force Attack Protection** Blocks repeated login attempts by limiting login frequency and analyzing IP reputation. * **2-Factor Authentication (2FA)** Adds an extra layer of login security for admin users, using time-based one-time passwords (TOTP). * **Real-Time Activity Logs** Track login attempts, blocked IPs, suspicious requests, and system actions with detailed logs. View statistics by day, week, or month. * **Custom IP Whitelisting & Blacklisting** Control access to your site by adding IPs or IP ranges to allow or deny lists. Includes temporary blocking for failed login attempts. * **GeoIP Blocking** Block or allow access from specific countries using the MaxMind GeoIP2 database integration. * **Bot Access Control** Detect and manage access from known bots, scrapers, and fake crawlers. Option to block non-human traffic. * **Anti-PHP Injection & File Access Blocking** Prevents direct access to PHP files in sensitive directories such as `/wp-includes/` and `/wp-content/uploads/`. * **Block Plugin and Theme Installation** Restrict installation of new plugins and themes via the WordPress dashboard — even by administrators. This helps prevent unauthorized or accidental installation of insecure components. Manual installation via FTP remains possible. * **Block Theme Editor** Disable access to the Theme Editor (`/wp-admin/theme- editor.php`) to prevent direct file editing. This minimizes the risk of malicious code injection or unintentional file corruption. * **Forbidden Comment Words Filter** Automatically mark comments as spam if they contain forbidden words or patterns (e.g., `http`, `viagra`, `casino`, `porn`). Helps drastically reduce comment spam by detecting common keywords and links. * **Auto Block IPs in .htaccess** When enabled, IPs that exceed the rate limit are automatically added to the `.htaccess` file for permanent blocking. This server-level block prevents any further requests. Use with care, as shared or corporate IPs may be affected. * **Email Notifications** Stay informed with email alerts about critical security events, such as admin login attempts or IP bans. * **Customizable Firewall Rules** Advanced users can fine-tune rules with regex filters, HTTP method checks, user-agent filters, and more. * **User-Friendly Admin Interface** Guardify features a modern and intuitive UI built using native WordPress design language. * **Clean Uninstall** Automatically cleans up all data, logs, and settings when uninstalled—leaving your database clean. ## Screenshots * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ ## Installacion 1. Upload the `guardify` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3.

It helped me to reduce spam in comments, which was a big problem before. Also, I don’t know coding, but with this plugin everything was simple and I could protect my site very well. The free version already gives many useful options, so I didn’t even need to pay for premium. It runs smooth and never caused any error or slowdown. Super helpful and easy to use.
