Take control of your WordPress security & maintenance. Automate plugin updates, manage administrator access, and prevent broken functionality from outdated plugins without proper oversight.
Fuerte-WP is the ultimate WordPress security & maintenance solution that combines automated updates with administrator oversight to prevent plugin conflicts before they break your site.
Available at the official WordPress.org plugins repository.
Is your WordPress site suffering from plugin neglect? Every day, thousands of sites break due to outdated plugins, untested updates, and lack of proper maintenance oversight.
- 90% of WordPress site failures are caused by outdated plugins, themes or incompatible updates
- Most WordPress downtime happens from untested plugin updates by administrators with too much freedom
- Your WordPress installation is only as reliable as your maintenance routine
🔥 WHY FUERTE-WP IS DIFFERENT:
Most maintenance plugins just alert you AFTER something breaks. Fuerte-WP PREVENTS issues before they happen, combining automated updates with access control that works together seamlessly.
Fuerte-WP auto-protects itself and cannot be disabled, unless your account is declared as super user, or you have access to the server (FTP, SFTP, SSH, cPanel/Plesk, etc.).

- Click "Install Now" or search for "Fuerte-WP" in your WordPress dashboard

Fuerte-WP allows you to configure it "harder". This way, Fuerte-WP options inside wp-admin panel aren't even shown at all. Useful to mass deploy Fuerte-WP configuration to multiple WordPress installations.
To use the harder configuration, follow this steps:
-
Download a copy of
config-sample/wp-config-fuerte.phpfile, and set it up with your desired settings. Edit and tweak the configuration array as needed. -
Upload your tweaked
wp-config-fuerte.phpfile to your WordPress's root directory. This usually is where your wp-config.php file resides. -
When Fuerte-WP detects that file, it will load the configuration from it. This will bypass the DB values from the options page, completely.
To check if your wp-config-fuerte.php file need an update, follow this steps:
Check the default config-sample/wp-config-fuerte.php file. The header of the sample config will have the version when it was last modified.
Then check out your own wp-config-fuerte.php file. If yours has a lower version number, then you need to update your settings array.
Compare your config with the default wp-config-fuerte.php file and add the new/missing settings to your file. You can use Meld, WinMerge, Beyond Compare, Kaleidoscope, Araxis Merge, Diffchecker or any similar software diff to help you here.
Upload your updated wp-config-fuerte.php to your WordPress's root directory and replace the old one.
Don't worry. New Fuerte-WP features that need new configuration values will not run or affect you until you upgrade your config file and add the new/missing settings.
