đ Important Notes & Additional Information
- SSH Access: For full management capabilities (including server-level backups and advanced security), SSH access to your server is required. SFTP-only access limits some features.
-
Firewall Rules: Ensure outbound connections to our management servers (
api.wpadmin.com,cdn.wpadmin.com) are not blocked by your server firewall or hosting provider restrictions. - WordPress Admin Access: We require Administrator-level WordPress credentials to install our management plugin and configure settings. We use secure, encrypted credential storage with zero-knowledge encryption.
- Database Access: Direct database access is recommended for our backup and optimization services. This can be provided via WP-CLI, SSH, or managed hosting database tools.
- GDPR / Data Privacy: All data transmitted between your WordPress site and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3. We are fully GDPR compliant and offer data processing agreements for Enterprise clients.
- Two-Factor Authentication: We strongly recommend enabling 2FA on your WordPress admin account. Our management operations use API tokens and are not affected by 2FA.
