    I installed this plugin to test it out after the debacle of better WordPress Security and after setting it up, I noticed that the Redirects page on CPanel of my host ended up being populated with entries for redirects from this plugin.
    It also added redirect characters to the addon domain page for the domain it was installed on.
    What’s that all about and how can I stop it from writing to CPanel?
    I’ve since deleted it until I figure out why it does this.

    Hi brightonseo, that is very strange in regards to the plugin sending redirects to your server.

    Can you share with us what options did you enable in the plugin? Also do you have a redirect plugin installed by any chance?

    Kind regards

    Hi
    I can’t remember the specific options as I’ve since had to delete the plugin. It was writing characters in CPanel in both Redirects and Addon Domain sections.

    Even after deactivation and deletion of plugin, I still had to go in to htaccess file to delete the code because deletion from CPanel didn’t work.

    This plugin doesn’t do anything with cPanel. Are you talking about the .htaccess file that is in the root of your site?

    It was writing code to htaccess, yes.
    It was also reflected in Redirects and Addon Domain sections where it made entries as redirects.
    It couldn’t be deleted directly from the Redirects or Addon sections, only by disabling/deleting plugin and then removing the code from the htaccess file.

    As I mentiooned before, O have since deleted the plugin so my site is back to normal again.

    The hosting company helped me track it down because I was thinking I had been hacked when I saw all the characters produced in CPanel.
