Quick security usage question…

    I’m currently using this plugin on a production website. Pretty basic/general stuff. Adding post filters for a plugin. My PHP knowledge level is at a point where at times I can be a bit dangerous.

    Just so I know, and I did see a past comment regarding Php execution, are there things in this plugin that I should never do as it might hurt website security?

    Thanks.

    Whenever you are adding some code to your site, whether it be through adding a snippet, editing a plugin or theme, or even installing a new plugin or theme, it is always important to ensure that the code is safe and trusted. The simple fact is that any bit of PHP code could potentially be dangerous if it was written by someone with malicious intent.

    Generally speaking, though, as long as you only get your snippets from trusted sources, then you should be protected from anything seriously harmful, and of course there is the safe mode feature if you accidentally add a buggy snippet that temporarily stops the site from loading.

    I recommend taking regular backups of your site whether you are using this plugin or not – it’s always a good thing to do!
