## Àpèjúwe

Aegistha is a calm, honest security checkup for non-technical WordPress owners. 
It explains your real risks in plain language, prioritizes them honestly, and fixes
the safe ones in one click. It never uses scare tactics and never changes anything
that could lock you out.

#### What it does

 * **A plain-English checkup** — your security posture at a glance, split into what
   Aegistha can safely handle for you and what only you can do. A simple meter shows
   how many checks are in good shape, with honest priorities (matters a lot / worth
   doing / minor) instead of a wall of red alarms.
 * **One-click safe fixes** — for lockout-zero items only: turn on admin alerts,
   block username discovery, disable the dashboard code editor, turn off XML-RPC,
   hide your version, and add basic security headers. Every fix is explained before
   you apply it and can be undone.
 * **“Your part” checks** — Aegistha verifies what it can and tells you exactly 
   what to do: outdated or removed plugins and themes, a pending WordPress update,
   an out-of-date PHP version, a site not using HTTPS, and an account named “admin”.
 * **Email alerts** — get notified when an administrator signs in, a new admin is
   added, or a plugin or theme changes.

#### Honest by design

 * Login changes stay **advisory** — we tell you if your login is exposed, but we
   never hide your login URL or lock you out.
 * No fear-scores, no upsells, no security theater. Aegistha focuses on the fundamentals
   that prevent most break-ins and is upfront about what it does and does not cover.

#### Trademarks

Aegistha is an independent plugin and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored
by any other product or company. “Aegistha” is a coined name inspired by the aegis,
the protective shield of Greek mythology; it is not connected to any product using
the term “Aegis”.

### External services

This plugin contacts the official WordPress.org API (api.wordpress.org) to check
whether your installed plugins and themes are still maintained or have been removed
from the directory. It sends only the public slug of each installed plugin/theme.
No personal data is sent. This happens when you view the checkup, and results are
cached for a day. WordPress.org terms: https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/ .

## Ìgbéwọlẹ̀

 1. Install and activate.
 2. Open **Aegistha** in the admin menu.
 3. Read your checkup and click **Fix this** on anything you want to resolve.

## FAQ

### Can this lock me out of my site?

No. Every one-click fix is reversible and none of them change how you log in. Login
is advisory only.

### Do I need other security tools too?

Maybe. A firewall or malware scanner can add another layer, especially on higher-
traffic or higher-risk sites. Aegistha focuses on the fundamentals that prevent 
most break-ins — updates, not running abandoned code, and simple hardening — and
is honest about its limits.

### Does hiding my WordPress version make me safe?

Barely. We include it but label it honestly as minor.
