Support » Plugin: Project Force Field » How to enable PFF with Bulletproof Security

  • Project Force Field (PFF) looks very promising, but I haven’t been able to use it because it appears to be blocked from writing to .htaccess by Bulletproof Security (BPS free). (At least I think BPS is blocking it.)

    Is there a way to whitelist PFF within BPS to enable PFF to do what it needs to do?

  • You can unlock your root .htaccess file on the htaccess File Editor tab page. Be sure to check that all the BPS security code is not deleted by PFF. I assume it will add a block of code into the root .htaccess file instead of removing all root .htaccess code to add its code, but you should of course check that.

    Plugin Basics 101:
    WordPress creates pre-built functions that are called Hooks. Hooks are/contain Actions and Filters that all plugins can use to do things with. If 2 plugins are calling the same Hooks to do the same things then there is going to be a direct conflict. Normally you would not install 2 caching plugins since they would conflict with each other and Login processing is very similar of course. In some cases some features in BPS Login Security can be used with other Login processing or Login Security plugins. You would need to do trial and error to see if 1 plugin overrides the other plugin’s Hooks or worse case scenario they end up cancelling each other out and neither plugin’s login processing works.

    So it is not a case of whitelisting and would be a case of are there direct conflicts with both plugins trying to the do the same or very similar things and what if any features work together in each plugin – would require trial and error testing by you.
