 * Hey hey,
 * Does anyone have any recommendations for security plugins that work well with
   s2member without conflicts?

 * The problem with using security plugins is that they tend to try to do too many
   things, while the creator of the Bulletproof Security plugin has recently confirmed
   that s2Member already provides very good security.
 * So I’d turn the question around and ask what is it that you want to achieve.
 * It may well be possible to add some code as an mu-plugin or in a theme’s `functions.
   php` file that does what you want. Or it may even be that another plugin, not
   marketed as a “security plugin,” can do what you are looking for.

 * Thanks for responding 🙂
 * We have been experiencing recent brute force flood against the xmlrpc.php file
   of the site that have been making the site inaccessible.

 * I’d say that the best method for dealing with that is not from within WordPress
   itself, but at the server level. If you have a good host, they should be able
   to set up better protection for you. (Mine has three levels of automatic brute
   force protection.)
