    Greetings, Wibowo!

    I was wondering if you have considered incorporating an open-source firewall such as the ones mentioned in these links: https://perishablepress.com/7g-firewall/ and https://perishablepress.com/8g-firewall/. Additionally, have you thought about adding a simple honeypot for robots since you already have logins, robot.txt, and IPs in place?

    Another suggestion I had was to have toggles for post types on the featured image. I find the idea of changing the login URL to be really cool, but I do have a slight UX/UI hint. Perhaps there could be a way to let people know how to recover or what it means for wp-login.php.

    Best regards

    Max

    There is no easy way to contact you? I am not on FB or any of the networks. Please contact me if possible. Best regards Max

    @max-ziebell thanks for dropping the feature suggestions. I’m taking notes for now. In general, I do intend to add more security-related features in future releases, including honeypot.

    Can you explain what you mean by “a way to let people know how to recover or what it means for wp-login.php”? Is the feature description not clear enough? I’m not sure there should be a way to ‘recover’, I imagine it would only be more difficult than simply memorizing a custom login slug like https://www.example.com/get-in.

    As for contacting me, I’m just starting to rebuild https://bowo.io, and will add back a contact form soon. Meanwhile, feel free to email me at qriouslad[at]gmail.

    Thanks will do… i’ll use the mail.

    Sad, any particular reason for not adding the firewall? As I understand, it is only tweaking the htaccess, but ultimately that decision is up to you. It is just something I install on every page and think it’s essential.

    The recovery was just an idea, as I once forgot my slug, but now I usually use the same one. One can recover by looking into the .htaccess, correct?

    I think I got one suggestion, not security related. Allowing Admin Menu Organizer to be role-specific, as it is limited in it usefulness for now. I typically cut down the menu for non admins. Currently, this feature also hides elements from me. Overall, just brainstorming. The plugin is already wonderful as is.

    @max-ziebell I never said that I won’t implement a firewall. I’m sure you understand that what looks ‘simple’ on the surface, frontend or in functionality, can be complex in code… that’s also the case with “tweaking .htaccess”… especially if we think about non-Apache servers. 🙂

    For login slug, it’s recorded in the DB (options table), not in .htaccess actually.

    Noted as well on role-specific functionality for Admin Menu Organizer. That’s a premium/paid feature in the popular plugin in this genre. 🙂 …and again, what looks ‘simple’ in terms of functionality may not be so simple in code. This module is actually one of the most complex, in terms of code, within the plugin.

    Again, I’m taking notes on all feature suggestions from all users. Which one to implement will depend on a number of things. One thing is clear for the short term, is I’m planning to go broader and not deeper (yet) in terms of features.

    As I said only brainstorming. The menu thing is something from free Branda I sometimes use … but dislike as they have a whole boatload of stuff and branding in that plugin. Go broader.. nice looking forward to it and I’d totally buy pro 😉

    @max-ziebell thanks. Good to know Branda has this on the free version. Will check it out. Great to know you’ll “totally buy pro”. 🙂
