In this chapter you will see the steps, what happens on activation and what to check on first run.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cisilino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/manuale-csdn-installazione.webp\" alt=\"Diagram of the WordPress Plugins menu to install the plugin CSDN with the zip file\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>Where it is<\/h2>\n<p>Everything starts from the <strong>Plugins<\/strong> item in the WordPress side menu, point 1 in the image. From there open <strong>Add New Plugin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to install the plugin<\/h2>\n<p>Before you begin, back up your site. The plugin writes to the <code>.htaccess<\/code> file and does not make a copy of it, so the caution is up to you.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the side menu go to <strong>Plugins<\/strong> and then <strong>Add New Plugin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Press <strong>Upload Plugin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>At point 3 in the image, under <strong>Plugin zip file<\/strong>, choose the plugin&#8217;s zip file, for example <code>cisilino-site-defense-network-1.0.15.zip<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Press <strong>Install Now<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>At point 4 in the image, once installation is finished, press <strong>Activate Plugin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As an alternative you can copy the plugin folder into <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> via FTP. Then activate it from <strong>Plugins &gt; Installed Plugins<\/strong>. The result is the same either way.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens on activation<\/h2>\n<p>The plugin prepares everything it needs on its own.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It creates four database tables, with your site&#8217;s prefix: <code>csdn_events<\/code>, <code>csdn_overrides<\/code>, <code>csdn_rate_hits<\/code> and <code>csdn_activity<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>It prepares the two marked blocks in <code>.htaccess<\/code>, one for blocked IPs and one for hardening. On first activation they are empty.<\/li>\n<li>It registers three scheduled WordPress tasks: synchronisation every 15 minutes, the daily log cleanup and the daily integrity check.<\/li>\n<li>It takes a snapshot of the hashes of the plugin&#8217;s PHP files, used later by the integrity check.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The scheduled tasks use WP-Cron. It runs when the site receives visits, unless your hosting uses a system cron instead.<\/p>\n<h2>First run<\/h2>\n<p>As soon as you finish installing the plugin, open <strong>Settings &gt; Cisilino Site Defense Network<\/strong>. The <strong>General<\/strong> tab opens. At the top you will see a row with three counters: locally blocked IPs, those received from the panel, and those from the optional security list. Right after installation they are all at zero.<\/p>\n<p>Once you install the plugin you don&#8217;t need to configure anything to be protected. Here&#8217;s what is already active with the default values:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Detection of failed logins, with a block threshold of 10.<\/li>\n<li>The registration policy \u201cLow-privilege roles only\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Rate limiting for authors and for guests, and the mandatory email address when creating users.<\/li>\n<li>The activity log, with 30 days&#8217; retention and a cap of 500 rows.<\/li>\n<li>Logging of file uploads. Blocking them, on the other hand, is switched off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All the hardening rules, the security headers, the inactivity logout and the debug log are off by default. You switch them on yourself, one at a time, in the dedicated chapters.<\/p>\n<h3>Three checks to do right away<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>In the <strong>General<\/strong> tab, in the <strong>Trusted IPs (whitelist)<\/strong> section, press <strong>Add to whitelist<\/strong> if you see the box \u201cYour current IP (\u2026) is not in the whitelist.\u201d. This way your own password mistakes won&#8217;t count against you.<\/li>\n<li>Look at the value under <strong>IP address<\/strong> in the <strong>Local IP overrides<\/strong> section: the field is pre-filled with your IP. Do not press <strong>Save override<\/strong> with \u201cBlock (ban)\u201d selected, or you&#8217;ll lock yourself out.<\/li>\n<li>Scroll through the ten tabs and read the introductory text. The other chapters of this manual tell you what each one does.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Warning:<\/strong> the failed-login counter is cumulative and never expires. Even a legitimate user who occasionally mistypes a password can reach the threshold. Put your trusted networks in the whitelist.<\/p>\n<h2>Default values and limits<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The plugin only appears on the Settings page for whoever has the right permission. Anyone without it won&#8217;t see the page; if they try to open an action they get \u201cNot authorised.\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>On a multisite network, the page is reserved for the super admin, because <code>.htaccess<\/code> belongs to the network. Connect only one site per network to the panel.<\/li>\n<li>If <code>.htaccess<\/code> is not writable, the site keeps working, but the server-level rules are not applied.<\/li>\n<li>The plugin reads the visitor&#8217;s IP only from <code>REMOTE_ADDR<\/code> and ignores headers such as X-Forwarded-For. If the site sits behind a proxy or a CDN, every visitor can appear to share the proxy&#8217;s IP: before relying on the blocks, check that the address shown in <strong>Your current IP<\/strong> really is yours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What happens behind the scenes<\/h2>\n<p>After an update, the plugin compares the database version with the current one. If they differ, it updates the tables and retakes the file snapshot, so the update doesn&#8217;t look like tampering. You don&#8217;t need to reactivate the plugin.<\/p>\n<p>For the basics of installing a plugin in WordPress, the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/documentation\/article\/manage-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official guide to managing plugins<\/a> also explains installation via FTP and the difference between deactivating and deleting.<\/p>\n<h2>If something goes wrong<\/h2>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t manage to install the plugin, check that you chose the right zip file and that your user is allowed to install plugins. If you get a server error after activation, go to the chapter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisilino.com\/en\/?p=986\">Troubleshooting and frequently asked questions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Previous chapter: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisilino.com\/en\/?p=972\">the introduction to the manual<\/a>.
