The WordPress Security Module: Blocking Plugin Activation, Deactivation and Deletion

In a world where website security is paramount, it's essential to have tools that protect against unauthorized plugin modifications. That's why we've developed the "No Plugin Activation / Deactivation / Deletion" module in WPMasterToolKit. This module is designed to enhance security by preventing any unwanted manipulation of plugins on your WordPress site.

Why have we developed this plugin management module?

Managing plugins can often be a breeding ground for human error or malicious access, which can compromise the security of your WordPress site. By preventing the activation, deactivation and deletion of plugins, this module reduces the risk of accidental deactivation or deletion by inexperienced or unauthorized users. It protects any WordPress site from unwanted modifications.

What the "No Plugin Activation / Deactivation / Deletion" module can replace

This module can replace a multitude of security extensions focused on user access management. Rather than deploying complex plug-ins to manage roles and permissions, this simple solution intervenes directly to block sensitive actions on plug-ins, without the need for in-depth configuration.

Understanding how the module works and the filters it uses

The plugin protection module takes advantage of several WordPress hooks to increase security:

  • plugin_action_links & network_admin_plugin_action_links : These filters are used to eliminate the "Activate", "Deactivate" and "Delete" links associated with each plugin, ensuring that no user can manage plugins via the administration interface.
  • install_plugin_complete_actions : This filter hides the "Activate" link after a new plugin has been installed, extending security as soon as new components are added.
  • check_admin_referer : This hook detects and directly prevents activation, deactivation and deletion actions via managed interaction, issuing an alert in the event of an unauthorized attempt.
  • admin_footer-plugins.php : A JavaScript script injected into the administration footer to eliminate bulk plugin management actions.
