xZeroProtect

Changelog

1.1.4

  • Fix: Blocked Requests page was always empty — now reads directly from the xZeroProtect library’s log file, so both blocked and suspicious (Learning Mode) requests are shown.
  • Fix: Static assets (favicon.ico, CSS, JS, fonts, images) were inflating the rate-limit counter, causing premature bans. A single page view now counts as one request.
  • New: Hint added above the rate-limit fields in Settings explaining what counts as a request.

1.1.3

  • Renamed plugin slug from xzeroprotect-wp to xzeroprotect (resolves trademarked-term warning for the “wp” suffix)
  • Fixed Text Domain to match the new slug (“xzeroprotect”) across all strings
  • Renamed main plugin file to xzeroprotect.php
  • Removed the unused “Domain Path” header (no languages folder bundled)
  • Moved firewall storage directory from uploads/xzeroprotect-wp to uploads/xzeroprotect
  • Sanitized $_POST[‘days’] in AJAX handlers before casting
  • Added phpcs ignore annotations for safe, already-prepared direct DB queries
  • Renamed internal constants from XZPWP_* to XZP_*

1.1.2

  • Updated bundled Chart.js to v4.5.1
  • Moved firewall storage to the WordPress uploads directory (wp_upload_dir())
  • Replaced inline dashboard with wp_add_inline_script
  • Removed unnecessary load_plugin_textdomain() call (handled by WordPress.org since 4.6)
  • Removed directory asset files from the plugin package

1.1.1

  • Added real visitor tracking with device and browser detection
  • Added unique visitor fingerprinting (daily-resetting SHA-256)
  • Added analytics dashboard: traffic chart, top pages, device breakdown, block reasons
  • Added real visitor log and blocked request log
  • Removed curl, wget, python-requests, go-http-client from default blocked agents
  • Removed .php extension from default blocked paths to avoid false positives
  • Raised auto-ban violations threshold from 5 to 10
