Hi Paul. Would you consider doing an updated config guide to SS Free?

[@groundpets5101]

Fantastic e-commerce one to use then, will make people feel more safe when signing up and buying a product as signing up has more steps in place. 🤘

Hi Paul! Could you please explain why I am being informed about "Firewall feature not Available / Loading Solid Security via a MU-Plugin is not supported" while setting/configuring the Solid Security Pro plugin (former i-Themes) on my WP site?? Where this problems comes from?? Lots of thanks in advance for your kind response!! 🙏

Paul, thanks for another great video. I have SolidSecurityPro plugin set on my WP site: things look pretty except the Settings>Features>Firewall>Error from the day one when I first installed/set up the plugin. Could you please suggest which settings could impact/prevent the access to this Firewall? The Site Scan page does look suspicious as well - I have never seen any report below those checked purple bars on that page... Any thoughts? Thank you for the time given to my questions.

Paul, a little off-topic question: in your opinion, what is the best way to hide wordpress theme from the source code?

[@arthurfleck-3065]

Do you think You still need a security plugin like this if you’re using the immunify from plesk in combination with really simple pro?

I kinda like Solid Security a lot more than other options. It has better UI and works nicely..

It looks nicer than wordfence which I have been using for years
