Using the Configuration page

The Configuration page in VMP Security Portal is the central place to view and edit the VMP Security plugin’s options for a connected site. The settings on this page mirror the All Options / Firewall Options / Scan Options / Login Security pages inside the plugin — you can change any of them in either place and the change will sync.

Opening the Configuration page

The Configuration page is reached from the top-level Configuration tab in Portal’s navigation. From there, choose the site you want to configure (the page is per-site) or, if you have created an options template, select the template to edit its values centrally.

What is on the page

Settings are grouped into the same major sections as the plugin’s admin pages, with one collapsible block per group:

• Template Options — controls only visible when editing a template (e.g. which sites the template is assigned to).
• Global Options — License, View Customization, General VMP Security Options, Dashboard Notifications, Email Alert Preferences, Activity Report.
• Firewall Options — WAF status, rules, basic and advanced firewall options, Brute Force Protection, Rate Limiting.
• Blocking Options — Country Blocking and advanced blocking options.
• Scan Options — Scan Scheduling, Basic Scan Type, General Options, Performance, Advanced Scan Options.
• Tool Options — Live Traffic, Audit Log, password auditing, comment-spam filter, diagnostics.
• Login Security Options — 2FA, WooCommerce / custom integrations, reCAPTCHA, general login security, login page settings.
• All Options — the search-all-options field for quickly finding any setting by name.

Working with templates

If you manage many sites, the Configuration page is a starting point but not the most efficient one for fleet-wide changes. Use Templates instead: build the configuration once, save it as a template, then assign the template to as many sites as you want. Editing the template and saving propagates the change to every assigned site automatically.

Saving and syncing changes

Save buttons at the top and bottom of the Configuration page commit your changes. Portal pushes the new values to the connected site over the secure API channel; the plugin acknowledges and applies them. Most options take effect immediately; a few (those that require WP-Cron, like signature sync) apply on the next cron tick.
