## Disgrifiad

SiteGuard WP Plugin helps protect WordPress sites by strengthening login and admin-
area security. It helps reduce brute-force login attacks, password list attacks,
comment spam, and unauthorized access to `/wp-admin/`.

#### Main Features

 * Admin Page IP Filter: Restricts wp-admin access to IP addresses that have successfully
   logged in.
 * Rename Login: Changes the URL of the login page from `wp-login.php` to a custom
   path.
 * CAPTCHA: Adds CAPTCHA to login, comment, password reset, and user registration
   forms.
 * Login Lock: Temporarily locks out IP addresses after repeated failed login attempts.
 * Login Alert: Sends email notifications when users log in.
 * Fail Once: Intentionally rejects the first valid login attempt and requires the
   user to try again shortly after.
 * Protect XML-RPC: Disables pingbacks or all XML-RPC access to help prevent abuse.
 * Block Author Query: Helps prevent username leakage through `/?author=<number>`
   requests.
 * Update Notifications: Sends email notifications when updates are available for
   WordPress core, plugins, or themes.
 * WAF Tuning Support: Creates exclusion rules to help prevent false positives when
   SiteGuard Server Edition WAF is installed.

#### Requirements and Compatibility

 * WordPress multisite is not supported.
 * Apache 1.3, Apache 2.x, and Nginx are supported.
 * CAPTCHA requires the PHP extensions `mbstring` and `gd`.
 * WAF Tuning Support requires SiteGuard Server Edition on Apache.

When you log out, the session is not closed and you can still go to wp-admin. Also,
redirecting wp-admin to the custom login page doesn’t help with security

管理ページアクセス制限を有効にすると、サイトヘルスで「サイトでループバックリクエスト
が完了できませんでした」という文字が出るが、この問題、site-health.phpを除外設定にし
てもなお出続ける。 制限をOFFにすると、出なくなる。 バージョン「1.5.1」でのアップデート
で、この問題は解決したようです。ありがとうございました。
