When you learn that a plugin developer’s account has been compromised and malicious updates are being distributed, you can immediately block that plugin in Fuerte-WP. This freezes the plugin at its last safe version and prevents your site from auto- installing malicious code, even while thousands of other sites are being compromised. ### What’s the difference between Deferred and Blocked updates? **Deferred Updates**: The plugin won’t auto-update, but you can still manually update it when you’re ready. Good for testing updates before applying them. **Blocked Updates**: The plugin cannot update at all – neither automatically nor manually. Essential during supply chain attacks when any update could contain malicious code. ### Can other administrators disable Fuerte-WP? No! Only super users can modify Fuerte-WP settings or disable the plugin. Other administrators are restricted from making changes that could compromise your site’s security. ### Will this slow down my website? Absolutely not. All maintenance tasks run in the background and don’t affect page load times. Fuerte-WP is optimized for performance. ### Does this work with WordPress multisite? Yes! Fuerte-WP is fully compatible with WordPress multisite installations and can be network-activated for centralized management. ### Where can I find more documentation?
