説明
JR Security Hardening and Login Protection secures your WordPress installation at the application level with one-click hardening modules. Designed to be secure by default and Cloudflare compatible.
Included modules:
- Disable XML-RPC — Full block (filter + hard block) to prevent brute force attacks and pingback DDoS.
- Hide WordPress version — Removes version from generator meta and CSS/JS assets.
- Disable file editor — Prevents theme and plugin editing from the admin panel (DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT).
- Disable emojis — Removes WordPress emoji scripts and styles, improving performance.
- Block user enumeration (?author= and /author/) — Dual-layer protection against username discovery.
- Block REST enumeration (wp-json users) — Prevents enumeration via the WordPress REST API.
- Block sensitive paths/files — Blocks access to readme.html, license.txt, .env, .git, composer.json, etc. (only what passes through WordPress).
- Security headers — X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, X-Frame-Options, HSTS (HTTPS only) and removal of technology-revealing headers.
- Login protection — Rate limiting by IP and by user+IP with configurable temporary lockout.
- IP whitelist — Excludes trusted IPs from rate limiting to avoid accidental lockouts.
- Email notification — Receive an email when an IP is locked out due to too many failed login attempts.
- Activity log — Security event logging in a dedicated database table with configurable retention and automatic cleanup via cron.
- Ready-to-use server rules — Code for Apache (.htaccess) and Nginx to block static files that WordPress cannot reach.
Smart IP detection:
- Native support for Cloudflare (CF-Connecting-IP).
- Option to trust X-Forwarded-For / X-Real-IP behind trusted proxies.
- Fallback to REMOTE_ADDR.
Clean uninstall:
When the plugin is deleted, all options, the events table and transients are removed. No data is left behind in your database.
インストール
- Upload the
jr-security-hardening-login-protectionfolder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin from the WordPress “Plugins” menu.
- Go to Settings JR Security and configure the modules.
- For full static file protection, apply the server rules shown in the “Server” tab.
FAQ
-
Does this plugin replace a server-level firewall?
-
No. This plugin protects what goes through WordPress. For static files like /readme.html, you need server-level rules (Apache/Nginx). The plugin includes those rules ready to copy and paste in the “Server” tab.
-
Does it work with Cloudflare?
-
Yes. It automatically detects the visitor’s real IP via CF-Connecting-IP. If you use another proxy, you can enable “Trust proxy headers” in the settings.
-
What if I lock myself out?
-
Lockouts use WordPress transients and expire automatically based on the configured hours. You can also add your IP to the whitelist from settings, or temporarily deactivate the plugin via FTP/SSH by renaming the folder.
-
Can I use this plugin with other security plugins?
-
Yes, but avoid duplicating functionality. If another plugin already disables XML-RPC or adds headers, disable those modules here to avoid conflicts.
-
Are settings lost when deactivating the plugin?
-
No. Settings are preserved when deactivating. They are only deleted when uninstalling the plugin completely.
-
If you are logged in as an administrator, the plugin does NOT block the author page — this is normal behavior. To test, use an incognito window without a WordPress session.
