## Beskrivelse

A self-hosted site manager’s toolkit: the security hardening, performance tuning,
admin cleanup, content controls and email handling you’d otherwise install half 
a dozen micro-plugins for — as independent modules on a single settings page (Settings
Site Toolkit). Every module is off by default and registers no hooks while disabled,
so the plugin changes nothing until you opt in.

🔐 **Security** — disable XML-RPC, hide the WordPress version, disable user enumeration(
author scans, sitemaps, oEmbed, author archives), block the REST users endpoint,
disable the file editors, block readme/license files, security headers (with optional
HSTS), disable application passwords, session management, and an admin audit log.

🔓 **Login Page** — change the login URL, login rate limiting, hide detailed login
errors, username-only sign-in, disable the language switcher, record each user’s
last login, and login screen branding (use your site identity automatically or a
custom logo from the media library).

🚀 **Performance** — control autosave and post revisions, remove asset version query
strings, throttle the Heartbeat API, remove wp_head bloat and generator tags, dequeue
unused default assets (emoji, jQuery Migrate, Block Library CSS), disable self-pings,
scheduled database maintenance, DNS prefetch/preconnect hints, and manage generated
image sizes.

🛠️ **Admin / UX** — hide the front-end toolbar, change the WordPress greeting, replace
the account menu with a logout button, dashboard widget manager, custom admin footer,
maintenance mode, media library user isolation, environment indicator, suppress 
update notices on non-production, trim the WordPress toolbar menu, and an «All Settings»
menu item.

📝 **Content & Editorial** — customize excerpts, disable the block editor per post
type, disable trackbacks, targeted comment controls (media comments, plain-text 
links, minimum length), disable comments entirely, disable oEmbed, and restore the
Links Manager.

📧 **Email & Notifications** — disable selected notification emails, and redirect
or block all outgoing email on non-production environments.

## Endringslogg

#### 1.1.1

Version bump due to Subversion issues

#### 1.1.0

This is a major release. The plugin has been rebuilt around a modular framework:
every feature is now an independent module on a single **Settings  Toolkit** page(«
Performance & Security Toolkit»), and each module is off by default and adds no 
overhead until you switch it on. The old «Performance & Security» settings page 
has been retired, and your existing 1.0 settings are migrated to the equivalent 
modules automatically when you upgrade.

**Requirements**

 * Now requires WordPress 6.2 or later (the audit log uses the `%i` SQL identifier
   placeholder added in WordPress 6.2).
 * Now requires PHP 7.4 or later.

**New — 49 modules across six sections**

 * Security: Disable XML-RPC; Hide WordPress version; Disable user enumeration (
   blocks author scans, with optional removal from XML sitemaps and oEmbed, author-
   archive redirect and author-link unlinking); Block REST API user endpoint; Disable
   theme/plugin file editor; Block access to readme/license files; Add security 
   headers (duplicate detection, optional HSTS gated on HTTPS); Disable application
   passwords; Session management (log out other sessions on password change, optional
   session-lifetime cap); Admin audit log (Tools  Audit Log) with a daily retention
   purge.
 * Login Page: Change login URL; Login rate limiting; Hide detailed login errors(
   with a custom message); Disable login via email address (username-only sign-in);
   Disable the login language switcher; Record user last login time (adds a sortable«
   Last Login» column to the Users screen); Customize login screen branding (use
   your site identity automatically, or set a custom logo from the media library,
   link and title).
 * Performance: Disable autosave or increase the autosave interval; Limit post revisions;
   Remove version query strings from assets; Control the Heartbeat API; Remove additional
   wp_head bloat (including per-source generator tags for WordPress, WooCommerce,
   Google Site Kit, Performance Lab, Modern Image Formats and Speculative Loading);
   Dequeue unused default assets (emoji, jQuery Migrate, Block Library CSS and more);
   Disable self-pings; Database maintenance (scheduled cleanup with a «Run now» 
   button); DNS prefetch / preconnect hints; Manage generated image sizes.
 * Admin / UX: Hide the toolbar on the front end; Change the WordPress greeting;
   Replace the account menu with a logout button; Dashboard widget manager; Custom
   admin footer text (with optional database statistics); Maintenance / coming soon
   mode; Media library user isolation; Environment indicator; Suppress update notices
   on non-production environments; Remove the WordPress toolbar menu; Add an «All
   Settings» menu item.
 * Content & Editorial: Disable the block editor (Gutenberg) per post type; Disable
   trackbacks and pingbacks; Disable oEmbed; Disable comments (thorough, with granular
   keep-toggles); Disable comments on media files; Disable active links in comments;
   Minimum comment length; Customize excerpts (word length and «more» text); Enable
   the Links Manager.
 * Email & Notifications: Disable email notifications (auto-update, background-update,
   successful-core-update and password-reset emails, each individually toggleable);
   Redirect outgoing email on non-production environments (to a catch-all address,
   or block it entirely).

**Changed**

 * Settings have moved to Settings  Toolkit (titled «Performance & Security Toolkit»);
   the «Settings» link on the Plugins screen now points there. Your existing settings
   are migrated automatically — no reconfiguration needed.

**Removed**

 * GZIP compression — removed with no in-plugin replacement. Compression belongs
   at the server or CDN level (enable it in cPanel/Plesk or ask your host): that
   is more reliable, avoids conflicts with caching plugins, and supports Brotli.
 * Several niche legacy options were retired because they need theme code to be 
   useful or duplicate settings handled better elsewhere: excerpts on Pages, the«
   Read more» anchor tweak, content/excerpt auto-formatting toggles, custom post
   types in search and RSS, tags on pages and in queries, and HTML5 markup support.
   The comment-form URL-field removal was also dropped, as it cannot be done reliably
   across both classic and block themes.

**Fixed**

 * The «WordPress greeting» option now works — and in every language. The previous
   version hooked too early to ever modify the toolbar greeting, so it had no effect.
 * «Disable self-ping» can now be saved. The legacy checkbox was missing from the
   settings whitelist and never persisted.

**Security**

 * Login rate limiting now reads the proxy-appended client IP instead of the spoofable
   left-most X-Forwarded-For value, and the lockout window no longer extends on 
   already-blocked attempts (which could permanently lock out everyone sharing an
   IP).
 * Maintenance mode now also returns a 503 for anonymous REST API requests, so posts
   and pages are not readable via /wp-json while the site is hidden.
 * Media library user isolation now covers the list view and the REST media endpoint,
   not only the grid view.
 * The login-screen logo URL is quoted inside its CSS to prevent CSS injection, 
   and author-enumeration blocking also catches the array form (?author[]=1).

#### 1.0.0

 * Security: settings are now saved through the WordPress Settings API with a dedicated
   nonce and a `manage_options` capability check
 * Security: all stored settings are sanitised against a whitelist of known options(
   unknown keys are discarded)
 * Security: all settings and URLs are escaped on output
 * Fixed fatal errors on PHP 8 caused by `create_function()`
 * Fixed the custom login logo, login URL, login title and minimum comment length
   options, which previously referenced settings out of scope
 * Fixed reactivation overwriting saved settings
 * Custom post types in search results now use `pre_get_posts` so the option works
   as described
 * The settings page now lists all options on a single page, grouped into fieldsets
   by feature type
