- Why does iThemes Security require the latest WordPress version? Can’t I use a slightly older version?

- Of course! We are in constant need of testers. In addition, we can always use help with translations for internationalization. For more information on contributing to iThemes Security, visit this page.
- Will this work on all servers and hosts?
- iThemes Security requires Apache or LiteSpeed and mod_rewrite or NGINX to work. While this security plugin should work on all hosts with Apache or LiteSpeed and mod_rewrite or NGINX, it has been known to experience problems in shared hosting environments where it runs out of resources such as available CPU or RAM. For this reason, it is extremely important that you make a backup of your site before installing on any existing site. If you run out of resources during an operation such as renaming your database table, you may need your backup to be able to restore access to your site. Finally, please make sure you have adequate RAM if you plan to use the file change detector or make large backups.

- We have addition FAQs for iThemes Security Pro here. We’re also always standing by to help with your pre-sales questions if you want to contact us. For questions related to iThemes Security Pro after you have made your purchase, you can create a support ticket here.
- Can a WordPress security plugin completely stop all attacks on my site?
- No. iThemes Security is designed to help improve the security of your WordPress installation from many common attack methods, but it cannot prevent every possible attack. Nothing replaces diligence and implementing the WordPress security best practices. This plugin makes it a little easier for you to apply both.
