FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to deactivate the free plugin to use Pro? +

Yes — deactivate the free PluginShield plugin, then install and activate PluginShield Pro. Your scan history carries over automatically since both use the same database tables.

Will the scan affect my live site visitors? +

No. The isolation is scoped to your admin browser session only. Visitors see the full live site with all plugins active for the entire duration of the scan.

What is the community conflict database? +

After a scan finds a culprit, you can anonymously submit it to the PluginShield community database. Only the plugin slug and name are sent — never your site URL or any identifiable data. Over time this builds a shared record of the most common conflict-causing plugins, visible to all users. View the database →

What does the Update Risk Score actually check? +

Before each Safe Update, PluginShield fetches the plugin's WordPress.org data and evaluates four signals: (1) changelog keywords like "breaking change" or "major rewrite", (2) the ratio of new unresolved support threads in the 7 days after the release, (3) whether the star rating dropped since the last check, and (4) whether this is a major version bump. Each signal contributes to a 1–5 score shown before you commit to the update.

What happens if I close the browser mid-scan? +

PluginShield automatically restores all plugins after 30 minutes of inactivity. You'll see a warning banner on your next admin login, and everything will already be back to normal.

Does it work on managed hosting (WP Engine, Kinsta)? +

PluginShield checks rename permissions before starting any scan. Most managed hosts allow renaming within wp-content/plugins. If yours doesn't, you'll see a clear error message before anything is modified.

Can I get a refund if it doesn't work for me? +

Yes. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Email support@pluginshield.com and we'll process your refund within 24 hours.
