Description

Walkiria Maintenance is a lightweight but powerful all-in-one security and maintenance plugin for WordPress.

Features

  • 🔐 Custom Login URL – Hide wp-login.php and wp-admin from attackers and bots. Returns a clean 404 to unauthenticated access attempts.
  • 📂 File Integrity Scanner – Builds a cryptographic baseline (SHA-256) of all your site files and alerts you when anything is added, modified or deleted.
  • 🌐 Uptime Monitor – Checks your site every 30 minutes and sends an instant email alert when your site goes down or comes back up.
  • 🔄 Update Notifications – Daily report of available updates for WordPress core, plugins and themes.
  • 📧 HTML Email Alerts – Beautiful, branded HTML emails for every security event.
  • 🗓️ Scheduled Scans – Configurable daily scan time (synced to your WordPress timezone).

Privacy

This plugin does not collect or transmit any personal data to external servers. All data is stored locally in your WordPress database.

Installation

  1. Upload the walkiria-maintenance folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install the plugin directly through the WordPress plugin screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
  3. Go to Settings → Walkiria Maintenance to configure alert email, scan time, custom login URL and excluded directories.
  4. Click Run Scan Now to build the initial baseline. Future scans will only alert you about changes.

FAQ

Will this plugin slow down my site?

No. The file scanner only runs on schedule (once a day by default) or when manually triggered from the dashboard. It has no impact on front-end performance.

What happens if I lock myself out with the custom login URL?

You can deactivate the plugin via FTP/cPanel by renaming the plugin folder, which will restore normal access to wp-login.php.

Does it work with multisite?

Not officially tested with multisite networks. Single-site installations only at this time.
