Frequently Asked Questions

I failed a scan — does that mean my site is hacked?

Not necessarily. Aegis Shield flags suspicious code, but not all matches mean your site is compromised. Many are just unusual or poorly written code. If you're unsure, send us the results — we're happy to take a look.

What’s included with my Pro support plan?

Pro support includes manual review of scan results, basic guidance on removing threats, and email-based help with securing your WordPress site. If needed, we’ll point you toward trusted cleanup tools or services.

Can you fix my site if it’s hacked?

We don’t do full malware cleanups as part of Pro support. However, if your site is compromised, we’ll help you identify the issue and offer next steps. If deeper work is needed, we’re happy to offer paid consulting.

How do I know if a file is truly dangerous?

Use the scan viewer in your WordPress dashboard to review flagged files. Look for code like eval, base64_decode, or unexpected modifications to core files. Still unsure? Contact us — we’re here to help.

Can I delete flagged files directly from the plugin?

Not yet — Aegis Shield doesn’t currently delete files for safety reasons. We recommend reviewing each flagged file and removing or restoring it via SFTP, your host’s file manager, or a trusted developer.

Why are some plugins or themes being flagged?

Aegis Shield scans everything — including plugins and themes — for patterns commonly associated with malware. Sometimes a legit plugin might get flagged. If it’s a false positive, you can ignore or delete the entry in Pro.

What’s the best way to prevent future hacks?

Keep all plugins, themes, and WordPress itself updated. Limit admin users, use strong passwords, and consider two-factor authentication. Aegis Shield helps by alerting you to changes — but prevention starts with good habits.

Does Aegis Shield conflict with other security plugins?

Nope! It’s designed to work alongside most popular security tools like Wordfence, Sucuri, or iThemes Security. Just avoid duplicate functionality like auto-IP blocking from multiple plugins.

Can I export scan results to share with my developer?

Yes — Aegis Shield Pro lets you export any scan to a CSV file. That makes it easy to forward flagged files to a dev, support team, or security specialist.

How quickly can I expect a reply to my support request?

We aim to respond within 1–2 business days, often much sooner. If it’s an urgent issue, make sure to include as much detail as possible in your request so we can prioritize effectively.
