This plugin adds a set of protection rules to the .htaccess file of your WordPress site. 
These rules totally protect the CMS from hacker attacks.
This is a BETA version, if you find bugs or malfunctions contact the developer from the support section.
<h3>WP Firewall requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>Apache web server</li>
<li>ModRewite</li>
<li>SSL connection (https)</li>
</ul>
<h3>WP Firewall development functions</h3>
This plugin uses only functions contained in the CMS core.
Do you need other functions? Ask the developer from the support section.
If after activating the protection errors or white screens occur, access the .htaccess file and remove all the code between “# BEGIN Firewall” and “# END Firewall”.

WP Firewall

Protect WordPress from hacker attacks, spam and dangerous actions.

Circuit Breaker is a lightweight safety utility designed to help administrators recover from fatal error loops caused by plugins.
IMPORTANT: 
– This plugin DOES NOT automatically deactivate other plugins. 
– This plugin DOES NOT modify WordPress core. 
– This plugin DOES NOT connect to any external service. 
– This plugin DOES NOT send any data externally.
When a fatal error is detected, Circuit Breaker: 
1. Logs the event internally. 
2. Temporarily prevents the suspected plugin from loading (without deactivating it). 
3. Displays an admin notice. 
4. Allows the administrator to manually deactivate the plugin.
All actions are initiated by the administrator. The plugin never changes plugin activation state automatically.
<h3>How It Works</h3>
If a fatal error occurs:
• WordPress shuts down normally. 
• Circuit Breaker detects the last active plugin action. 
• On next load, the suspected plugin is skipped temporarily. 
• An admin notice appears with: 
 – Option to deactivate the suspected plugin (manual action) 
 – Option to restore it
This prevents crash loops while maintaining full user control.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin does not use or rely on any external services. 
No API calls are made. 
No remote assets are loaded. 
No tracking is performed.
<h3>Privacy</h3>
Circuit Breaker does not collect, store, transmit, or process personal data. 
All operations are performed locally within WordPress.
