BTEV isn't tracking failed logins. Why?

This option needs to be enabled on the settings page (enable wp_login overrride).

BTEV isn't tracking emails being sent. Why?

This option needs to be enabled on the settings page (enable wp_mail overrride).

BTEV isn't tracking activation/deactivation of other plugins. Why?

This feature requires WordPress 2.1.0 or higher to work and only works if you disable/enable the plugin from the WordPress plugin page.

What does LOCKDOWN mode do?

The LOCKDOWN mode is designed to make it more difficult to disable BTEV.
It might be required for extra security or if you don't want users with Administrator permissions to be able to disable the plugin. In LOCKDOWN mode the follow options are disabled:

1. Clear Logs
2. Update Settings
3. Uninstall
4. Deactivate

This can make it more affective in logging changes that occur in your site.

How do I enable LOCKDOWN mode?

open btev.php and find the line (near the top) that says:

    define('BTEV_LOCKDOWN', FALSE);

and change it to:

    define('BTEV_LOCKDOWN', TRUE);

Remember to upload the file if you edited it locally.

What limitations does LOCKDOWN mode have?

1. Please be aware that LOCKDOWN mode is NOT a guarantee that BTEV will say active if you site is hacked.
2. An extra layer of security is added but there are many other ways to disabled BTEV.
3. It is recommended that btev.php is NOT writable so that the file cannot be editted from within WordPress.
4. Please run WordPress 2.0.10 or higher for LOCKDOWN to work correctly (lower versions of WordPress may allow BTEV to be deactivated).
5. Please be aware that LOCKDOWN mode is NOT a guarantee that BTEV will say active if you site is hacked.

BTEV gives me the following message "Your BTEV settings have been set back to the default settings. This won't happen in future upgrades." Why?

Two possibilities:

1. You've upgraded from an old version (0.1, 0.2 or 0.3).
2. You've just installed BTEV on a WordPress 2.2 or higher blog. You can ignore this message.

This message should only be displayed once. Let me know if you keep getting it.

How often does "auto prune" run?

If enabled auto prune runs once a day via the WordPress cron function.

Auto prune doesn't seem to be working. Why?

Auto prune requires WordPress 2.1 or higher to work.

BTEV has a bug and/or I want to suggest some new features. How?
