Silence is golden guard plugin is updated

SIG GUARD Updated

Next update v.1.4 is available for Silence is Golden Guard WordPress plugin. Checking if index.php file is SIG Guard plugin made file and can be rewritten is updated/enhanced in try to exclude rare cases when SIG Guard rewrites important index.php file, e.g. in the current theme folder. SIG Guard own stamp string verification is added. File with more than 4 rows will not be changed too.
This update is critical for new plugin users only.
Note to former users: if you wish to rebuild all your dummy SIG index.php files you need to delete that files manually before click “Rebuild All” button. As old index.php file does not contain SIG Guard stamp string, plugin should not update such file.

IP Logger 3.1. Review

IP Logger 3.1. Review

It is the second post about IP Logger plugin I made. 1st one can be achieved here.
The main thing which I didn’t like in IP Logger the previous 2.8 version and had pointed it out in my review was a hidden use of external WEB service to get more details about blog visitor’s IP. Now IP Logger allows you to make the free choice: 1st – do not use any external services, 2nd and 3rd – select external service to use from 2 available options. Thus, plugin user is aware what and how the plugin does. Right decision.
