Merges informatiq-wp-secure + informatiq-utils + HoneypotFields into
a single unified plugin with the following improvements:
- Fixed deactivation bug: all protection methods now guard themselves
with their own option check so toggling off via AJAX takes effect
immediately without any hook re-registration.
- Added rate-limiting for good/legitimate bots (Googlebot, Bingbot,
DuckDuckBot, Yandex, etc.) via transient sliding-window counters;
configurable per-bot limits in goodbots.conf (BotName|req/min);
returns HTTP 429 with Retry-After: 60 when over limit.
- Unified MySQL-backed logging (itk_bot_log + itk_honeypot_log tables)
replaces the old wp_options-based 100-entry cap.
- New Dashboard tab with terminal-style bot activity monitor: total
blocked, today's count, rate-limited hits, top threat sources
(bar chart), top IPs, top honeypot form types, active-module
status panel.
- All optimizations from utils.php merged into Optimization tab as
toggleable settings (was always-on before).
- Single admin page (Settings → InformatiQ Toolkit) with 8 tabs:
Dashboard | Bot Blocker | Protection | Optimization | Honeypot |
Bot Logs | Honeypot Logs | Config Files.
- Config file editor for badbots.conf, goodbots.conf, referrers.conf,
networks.conf, allowed-ips.conf with AJAX save and transient flush.
