WPGreeks Securities & SEO Tools

No. WPGreeks Securities & SEO Tools never modifies WordPress core files. All functionality is implemented using official WordPress hooks and APIs.

You can temporarily deactivate or rename the plugin directory via FTP or your hosting file manager. WordPress will automatically restore the default login URL.

No. The plugin is designed to be lightweight and loads assets only when required.

When SEO Module 7 is enabled, a fixed quick-access floating bar is rendered on frontend pages allowing visitors to instantly initiate phone calls, send emails, or navigate to your brand’s social media channels.

Once enabled, a FAQ meta box appears on the edit screen of every post type you select (including custom post types), where you can add Question/Answer pairs using a full rich-text editor. FAQs display automatically at the end of the content by default.

Add the [wpgreeks_faqs] shortcode anywhere in the post content while editing that post. When the shortcode is present, the automatic end-of-content placement is skipped for that post — only the shortcode’s placement is used.

Only when you enable “Enable FAQ Schema” on the FAQ Setup page. When on, a FAQPage JSON-LD structured-data block is added to the page head for any content that has FAQs, matching whichever FAQs are actually displayed — whether shown automatically or via the shortcode.

Enable it, choose which post types should get the Guest Author meta box, then assign a guest author from a post’s edit screen — pick an existing one from the dropdown, or add a new one with a name, bio, image, URL, and Gravatar email. Guest authors are stored in their own database table and can be reused across any number of posts without creating a WordPress user account.

No. Adding a new guest author with a name that already exists reuses the existing entry instead of creating a duplicate — the same logic applies whether you add it from a post’s edit screen or from the central Guest Author Setup page.

Wherever the Author Box module already appears, and via the [wpgreeks_guest_author] shortcode placed anywhere in the content. The theme’s default byline ( the_author() and linked author variants) is also overridden automatically when a guest author is assigned.

A separate, related feature in the same module: any registered user (or an admin editing their profile) can upload a custom profile picture from the Edit Profile screen, which overrides the default Gravatar/site avatar everywhere avatars are shown. If no custom avatar is set, the normal Gravatar/default avatar chain is used.

This usually happens right after moving a site from localhost to a live server, before permalinks/.htaccess are regenerated — the custom URL is a “pretty” URL that needs working server rewrite rules, while the real wp-login.php is deliberately masked. Two recovery options exist, in order of preference: (1) open https://yoursite.com/?wpgreeks_login=your-slug , which works without any rewrite rules; (2) add define( 'WPGREEKS_DISABLE_LOGIN_MASK', true ); to wp-config.php via FTP/file manager to turn the login mask off without deactivating the plugin. Remove the line once you have re-saved Settings > Permalinks.

Every WPGreeks admin page now has a sidebar with the developer card, a Security Health Check (login URL masked, file editing hardened, HTTPS, debug mode off — only checks the plugin can genuinely verify), live Module Status counts, Quick Access links, and the installed plugin version.

Modules are saved with the normal Save Changes button, because switching a module on or off also adds or removes admin menus. As soon as a toggle differs from its saved state, a sticky bar shows how many changes are unsaved, and the browser warns you before you leave the page without saving.

Located inside the Tools tab, the Uninstall Cleanup engine lets you select specifically which module data to delete upon plugin uninstallation. If you prefer a complete reset, checking Global Bulk Delete wipes all plugin options and meta keys from the database when the plugin is deleted.

When SEO Module 5 is enabled, author bio cards featuring user avatars, descriptions, and social links along with sharing buttons (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, etc.) are automatically appended to single content views.

Site-wide scripts configured in the SEO Module 6 workspace execute across every public page on your website. Post-specific scripts added via the post editor meta boxes execute exclusively on that specific post or page context via get_queried_object_id() .

Yes. SEO Module 6 uses WordPress native CodeMirror engine integration to validate HTML, JavaScript, and CSS code blocks live as you type.

Not at all. The lockdown mechanics purely restrict dashboard-level execution capabilities, such as code additions or web-installer screens. You can still modify files safely over secure SFTP/FTP.

When you toggle SEO Module 1 to ON inside the central WPGreeks Securities settings console, a physical page titled "HTML Sitemap" containing the shortcode is generated instantly. If you turn the master switch OFF , the system automatically cleans up and deletes that page context completely.

Yes. Once SEO Module 1 is activated, a separate configuration screen becomes available where you can use clean binary toggles to instantly include or exclude Pages, Posts, Custom Post Types, and Taxonomies.

Turning SEO Module 2 ON automatically deploys a published page titled "Thank You" populated with the template shortcode. Turning it OFF removes and deletes this page completely from your database trash to keep your page directory clean.

When SEO Module 4 is enabled, inserting the [wpgreeks_toc] shortcode automatically scans the post or page content for heading tags ( <h2> to <h6> ), generates anchor links, and renders a clean, accessible navigation block with smooth scrolling.

SEO Module 3 adds localized input fields within your workspace to safely inject custom <meta name="keywords" content="..."> tags directly into the <head> of targeted pages without requiring heavy third-party SEO plugins.

The plugin features a smart background checker. If Contact Form 7 is uninstalled, disabled, or missing, the auto-redirect toggle will automatically uncheck, lock itself (greyed-out in the UI), and disable any database-level redirection filters to prevent page redirect errors.

The plugin has an integrated fallback mechanism. If you clear the fields and save, it will automatically populate and render beautiful pre-configured default texts (“Thank You for Reaching Out!”) on your frontend.

When Module 4 is activated under the Manage Settings Tab, hover action links on the Posts and Pages list tables display a “Duplicate” button. Clicking it instantly clones the item (including content, categories, tags, and custom fields) into a new Draft entry.

Module 5 provides global, site-wide comment suppression across your WordPress site. It turns off comment submission forms, blocks incoming comment processing requests, hides existing comments on single views, and cleans up comment management links from both the admin bar and the dashboard sidebar.

No, Module 5 does not alter or delete any existing data in your database. It simply suppresses the display of comment threads on the front end and hides the backend administration panels while active. If you disable the module, your previous comments will reappear intact.

No. Managing Module 5 requires administrator-level privileges ( manage_options ). Lower-level user roles cannot enable, disable, or modify comment engine controls.

Access is protected using native Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) capabilities. Administrators retain master access ( manage_options ), while specific workspaces can be delegated to roles with capabilities like wpgreeks_manage_security , wpgreeks_manage_duplicate , or wpseo_edit_advanced_metadata .
