Firewall counters (blocked before WordPress loads)

Feature Firewall counters — Shows how many requests were stopped early by the Spam Firewall (today, last 7 days, total). How it works When Firewall pre-check is enabled, AegisSpamGuard evaluates bot-like traffic early and can challenge or block before normal page processing, reducing server load. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard Review “Firewall counters”. Click “View Firewall” to open the Firewall log stream. Recommended setting Recommended: Enable firewall after you’ve configured allowlists and thresholds. Firewall is powerful; correct allowlisting prevents accidental friction for trusted services and users. Why you need this Admins use this to demonstrate performance and protection value—blocking bots early reduces CPU and unwanted traffic. Additional information

Open Spam Log button (review decisions)

Feature Open Spam Log — Opens the Spam Log so you can review scored events, reasons, and actions taken. How it works The Spam Log is your audit trail: every event includes its score, the action taken, and the reasons/signals that contributed. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard In “Last 7 days”, click “Open Spam Log” (or top-right “View Log”). Recommended setting Recommended: Review Held + Challenged items first. These bands are where the best tuning happens—allowlist real users, deny confirmed spam, and train if ML is enabled. Why you need this Admins need the log to validate accuracy, resolve false positives, and prove the plugin is working. Additional information

Configure button (jump to key Settings)

Feature Configure (Protection mode) — The Configure button is a shortcut to the Settings page where you control thresholds, modules, and enforcement behavior. How it works It takes you directly to the configuration that determines how scores map to Allow/Challenge/Hold/Block and which signals are active. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard In “Protection mode”, click “Configure”. Recommended setting Recommended: Set thresholds first before enabling aggressive modules. Thresholds define your policy; tuning them early prevents over-blocking when additional signals are enabled. Why you need this Admins use this to quickly adjust policy without hunting through menus. Additional information

False positive protection (Hold instead of Block)

Feature False positive protection — When enabled, events that would normally be blocked are instead held for review (unless you explicitly deny them). How it works AegisSpamGuard still scores and classifies events, but it chooses a safer enforcement action to protect real users while you tune thresholds and allowlists. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard In “Protection mode”, toggle “False positive protection” ON/OFF. Recommended setting Recommended: ON during initial deployment and on business/commerce sites. Holding suspicious events avoids losing legitimate leads/orders while you calibrate scoring. Why you need this This reduces risk on production sites where a single blocked registration or checkout can cost revenue. Additional information

Dashboard overview (At a glance counters)

Feature Dashboard overview (At a glance counters) — The Dashboard gives you a real-time snapshot of what AegisSpamGuard has scored and how it responded (Allowed, Challenged, Held, Blocked). How it works AegisSpamGuard records every scored event in the Spam Log and aggregates summary counts on the Dashboard so you can confirm protection is active without digging through rows. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard Review the “At a glance” tiles (Last 24 hours: events scored, blocked, held, challenged). Recommended setting Recommended: Review daily for the first week, then weekly. Early monitoring helps you tune allow/deny rules and weights quickly and prevents false positives from going unnoticed. Why you need this Admins need fast visibility to confirm protection is working, measure attack volume, and spot changes after configuration updates. Additional information

Word Cloud Shortcode: Using defaults with [aegislink_keywords_block]

Description: Using the shortcode without attributes automatically uses your saved Word Cloud Defaults. How it works: AegisLink reads saved defaults (limit, min/max length, sizes, and distribution) and renders the cloud consistently site-wide. How to access / enable: Paste [aegislink_keywords_block] into any post/page or builder shortcode element. Recommended setting: Recommended for most sites because it keeps output consistent and easy to maintain.

Word Cloud Defaults: Font sizes (Large / Medium / Small)

Description: Controls the visual size buckets used to render the word cloud in pixels. How it works: AegisLink assigns the top words into Large/Medium buckets, and all remaining words render as Small. How to access / enable: WP Admin → AegisLink → Word Cloud → Font sizes (px) → Save Defaults. Recommended setting: Use a clear 3-tier spread like 42 / 28 / 18 for strong readability.

Word Cloud Defaults: Word Limit

Description: Controls the maximum number of words displayed in the Word Cloud. How it works: AegisLink selects up to the limit of eligible words after filtering by min/max length and sorting by frequency. How to access / enable: WP Admin → AegisLink → Word Cloud → Word selection → Limit → Save Defaults. Recommended setting: 50 is a strong baseline for most pages; raise for long-form content, lower for minimal pages.

WooCommerce Integration: What is the Share Button injection?

Description: Adds a Share button on WooCommerce single product pages (when enabled) so customers can share a clean short URL. How it works: The integration checks for a mapped short link for the product and outputs a share control when available. How to access / enable: WP Admin → AegisLink → ShortURL Links → Settings → enable WooCommerce Share Button. Recommended setting: Enable after you bulk-generate product short links so most products immediately have share-ready URLs.

Tools & Licensing: Refresh Status

Description: Forces an immediate license status refresh. How it works: AegisLink calls the license check method and updates cached status fields like plan and max_sites. How to access / enable: WP Admin → AegisLink → Tools & Licensing → License → Refresh Status. Recommended setting: Use after upgrading a plan or after changing domain/site configuration.
