Step 2 ) Go to WP Security -> Settings -> General Settings  to set up the following options.

• Backup your database
• Backup .htaccess file

Important: It is important to backup the above files when you install the plugin. They are very important files for the functionality of your website. If they become corrupted you will loose access to your admin site and your website might crash as well.

Step 2-a ) In some case when you enable some security and firewall settings, they can corrupt your site, block you from having access to your site and clash with other plugins.  This will allow you to reduce this by disabling the following options.

Step 2-b ) The following image Debug Settings allows you to control enabling or disabling the log files.

Note: This new feature controls the following log files wp-security-log.txt and wp-security-log-cron-job.txt. Found in the following folder /plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/logs/.

To view these log files go to WP Security -> Dashboard -> AIOWPS Logs.

Step 6 ) The following image Import/Export allows to implement the following options.

Note: The import process works in the following manner. If you change or loose your settings then you can import the settings you exported earlier. However if you see the following message Import AIOWPS settings from file operation failed!, that means there is no changes in the plugin settings and the import is not needed.  

Import / Export Options

• Export AIOWPS Settings
• Import AIOWPS Settings

Step 7 ) The following image allows you to export your settings and import your settings into another website. This saves you a lot of time if you are going to implement the same settings on many websites.

• Copy/Paste Import Data

Step 7 ) The following image Advanced Settings allows to set up the following options.

Note: In most cases the default settings will work just fine. Only make changes here if you are using proxies, load-balancers, CloudFlare and you know what you are doing.
