Fixes large backup downloads, and stops WP-CLI from clearing settings it was not asked to touch \u2014 including the off-site backup destination, certificate expiry monitoring and delivery-failure alerts. Adds WP-CLI coverage across every module.<\/p>","2.7.0":"
New Downloads module (Beta): count total and unique downloads for your media files, force them to save instead of opening, and restrict any file to signed-in visitors, chosen roles or a password. Plus tab-navigation and two-factor fixes across the plugin.<\/p>","2.6.0":"
New Login Security module (Beta): brute-force throttling across every login route, two-factor sign-in (authenticator app, passkey, email or backup codes), a password policy, sign-in alerts and a privacy-friendly journal \u2014 all on your own site, no external service.<\/p>","2.5.14":"
Patch with security fixes: backups and database exports move to a folder that cannot be guessed from a URL, form webhooks can no longer reach private network addresses, and SVG uploads are always refused. Also fixes restores on hosts that cap PHP execution time.<\/p>","2.5.13":"
Patch: backups no longer die with a fatal error on hosts that cap PHP execution time \u2014 a run now continues over several passes and picks up where it stopped. Also fixes restores failing on those same hosts, and cuts memory use when exporting a large database.<\/p>","2.5.12":"
Patch: the pre-update backup was never created before WordPress core updates \u2014 it now is, whatever starts the update. The retention limit also applies to backups made from the admin screen, and an interrupted backup is flagged instead of being offered for restore.<\/p>","2.5.11":"
Patch: fixes a fatal error on activation under PHP 8.1, makes imported Yoast, Rank Math and All in One SEO title\/description variables render properly, and carries site-wide SEO defaults over during import. Safe maintenance update.<\/p>","2.5.10":"
Fatal Error Recovery gains a 90-day history of the crashes it caught, dates them in plain language, and can prepare a redacted crash report in one click. It can also report this plugin's own errors to me automatically, if you switch that option on. Fixes fatal errors on URLs without a path.<\/p>","2.5.9":"
Patch: fixes the Save button staying disabled when your only change in a settings screen is deleting something \u2014 like removing a booking time slot or closing an open day in the calendar.<\/p>","2.5.8":"
Patch: fixes a rare fatal error that could take down the front end when a request arrived with a malformed URL while 301 redirections were active.<\/p>","2.5.7":"
Patch: the WP-CLI resource list now reports each resource's real stock, and the appointment date in the booking recap follows the site's language rather than the visitor's browser. Safe maintenance update.<\/p>","2.5.6":"
Security hardening across several modules (SSRF, CSV export safety, multisite capability guard, recovery-key protection), a full WP-CLI command suite, and calendar improvements. Recommended for all sites.<\/p>","2.5.5":"
The booking calendar's service editor is clearer: each service is its own card with proper on\/off toggles, and the online-meeting option only appears \u2014 and reads sensibly \u2014 for services that can take place online.<\/p>","2.5.4":"
Patch: venues can show a map on the event page, clients can book a recurring series of appointments, events can sell multiple ticket tiers with promo codes, and both Forms and the Calendar are now fully manageable from WP-CLI.<\/p>","2.5.3":"
Calendar settings are reorganised into one tab per scheduling type (appointments, events, bookables) with a section menu, and you gain event sign-up approval, a bookable waitlist, and a sign-up cutoff before events.<\/p>","2.5.2":"
Patch: the client self-service space (reschedule and cancel, no account) is now on by default on new sites, the booking-form consent wording is clearer, and the Calendar settings tabs are tidier \u2014 key options stay visible while secondary ones tuck away.<\/p>","2.5.1":"
Patch release: security and reliability hardening across modules (Fatal Error Recovery, Maintenance, SMTP, User Role Editor, Backup, Calendar), plus Calendar emails and labels that follow your site language and rate-limited public forms.<\/p>","2.5.0":"
New Calendar module (Beta): publish events with RSVP and run a full online booking system \u2014 appointments, resource rentals, reminders and Stripe payments. Plus SFTP backups via SSH key and a clearer, more accessible dashboard. Recommended.<\/p>"},"ratings":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":0,"5":3},"assets_icons":{"icon-128x128.png":{"filename":"icon-128x128.png","revision":3445615,"resolution":"128x128","location":"assets","locale":"","width":128,"height":128},"icon-256x256.png":{"filename":"icon-256x256.png","revision":3445615,"resolution":"256x256","location":"assets","locale":"","width":256,"height":256}},"assets_banners":{"banner-1544x500.png":{"filename":"banner-1544x500.png","revision":3445615,"resolution":"1544x500","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1544,"height":500},"banner-772x50.png":{"filename":"banner-772x50.png","revision":3445615,"resolution":"772x50","location":"assets","locale":"","width":772,"height":250}},"assets_blueprints":{},"all_blocks":[],"tagged_versions":["1.0.0","1.1.0","1.1.1","1.1.2","1.10.0","1.11.0","1.11.1","1.2.0","1.3.0","1.3.1","1.3.2","1.4.0","1.4.1","1.4.2","1.4.3","1.4.4","1.4.5","1.4.6","1.4.7","1.5.0","1.5.1","1.5.2","1.5.3","1.5.4","1.5.5","1.5.6","1.6.0","1.6.1","1.7.0","1.7.1","1.7.2","1.7.3","1.7.4","1.7.5","1.8.0","1.8.1","1.8.2","1.9.0","1.9.1","1.9.10","1.9.2","1.9.3","1.9.4","1.9.5","1.9.6","1.9.7","1.9.8","1.9.9","2.0.0","2.0.1","2.0.2","2.1.0","2.1.1","2.2.0","2.3.0","2.3.1","2.3.2","2.4.0","2.5.0","2.5.1","2.5.10","2.5.11","2.5.12","2.5.13","2.5.14","2.5.2","2.5.3","2.5.4","2.5.5","2.5.6","2.5.7","2.5.8","2.5.9","2.6.0","2.7.0","2.7.1"],"block_files":[],"assets_screenshots":{"screenshot-1.png":{"filename":"screenshot-1.png","revision":3557151,"resolution":"1","location":"assets","locale":"","width":3024,"height":1628},"screenshot-10.png":{"filename":"screenshot-10.png","revision":3557151,"resolution":"10","location":"assets","locale":"","width":3024,"height":1336},"screenshot-2.png":{"filename":"screenshot-2.png","revision":3557151,"resolution":"2","location":"assets","locale":"","width":3024,"height":2334},"screenshot-3.png":{"filename":"screenshot-3.png","revision":3557151,"resolution":"3","location":"assets","locale":"","width":3024,"height":2124},"screenshot-4.png":{"filename":"screenshot-4.png","revision":3557151,"resolution":"4","location":"assets","locale":"","width":3024,"height":1544},"screenshot-5.png":{"filename":"screenshot-5.png","revision":3557151,"resolution":"5","location":"assets","locale":"","width":3024,"height":920},"screenshot-6.png":{"filename":"screenshot-6.png","revision":3557151,"resolution":"6","location":"assets","locale":"","width":3024,"height":1086},"screenshot-7.png":{"filename":"screenshot-7.png","revision":3557151,"resolution":"7","location":"assets","locale":"","width":3024,"height":1540},"screenshot-8.png":{"filename":"screenshot-8.png","revision":3557151,"resolution":"8","location":"assets","locale":"","width":3024,"height":1558},"screenshot-9.png":{"filename":"screenshot-9.png","revision":3557151,"resolution":"9","location":"assets","locale":"","width":3024,"height":1452}},"screenshots":{"1":"Modular

One plugin to replace twenty. Free forever.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n I was tired of my WordPress installs looking like a graveyard of single-purpose plugins \u2014 one for SEO, one for cache, one for SMTP, one for redirects, one for backups. Each one with its own dashboard, its own freemium dance. So I built Blaminhor Essentials \u2014 and I never sell your data.<\/p>\n\n Why this plugin exists:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Available Features \u2014 26 modules:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Every module is fully configurable from the command line through the Discover the full command tree:<\/p>\n\n Lifecycle:<\/p>\n\n A few examples per module (full reference: see the bundled All listing commands accept The Backup module exposes No. Each module only loads its code when activated. Disabled modules have zero impact on performance \u2014 no PHP loaded, no hooks registered, no queries run.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, genuinely free. Every module and every feature ships in the single free download \u2014 no expiring trial, no ads in your dashboard, nothing held back for a paywall. I don't track you and I don't sell your data. If it saves you time, a kind review is all I ask.<\/p><\/dd>\n WordPress 6.2 or newer and PHP 8.1 or newer. It runs fine on standard shared hosting: heavy jobs like backups and link scans are processed in small batches to avoid timeouts, and no background service or special server access is required.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, that's the main goal. Blaminhor Essentials can replace Redirection, Yoast\/Rank Math, WP Mail SMTP, UpdraftPlus, Duplicate Post, User Role Editor, Limit Login Attempts, WP 2FA, and many others.<\/p><\/dd>\n Every module is off by default and independent, so installing the plugin changes nothing until you switch something on. The one thing to avoid is running two plugins that do the same job \u2014 two SEO plugins, or two page caches \u2014 since they can clash. The clean path is to import your data into the matching module, then deactivate the old plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n Several modules include import features, so you don't lose your existing setup:\n- SEO<\/strong>: Import titles, descriptions and keywords from Yoast SEO, Rank Math or All in One SEO.\n- SMTP<\/strong>: Import from WP Mail SMTP, Post SMTP or Easy WP SMTP.\n- Redirections<\/strong>: Import from the Redirection plugin, Safe Redirect Manager or a CSV file.\n- Post Types Order<\/strong>: Import your saved term order from Custom Taxonomy Order.\n- Favicon<\/strong>: Import an existing favicon set from Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator, or from the WordPress Site Icon.\n- User Role Editor<\/strong>: Import roles and custom capabilities from the standalone User Role Editor plugin, or from a JSON export.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Everything runs on your own server by default \u2014 no telemetry, no usage tracking. The only data that ever leaves your site is what you set up yourself: the SMTP module sends your emails through the relay you choose, the Cache module can run a Google PageSpeed audit when you click the button, and Fatal Error Recovery can email me the errors this plugin causes if you switch that option on. Nothing else.<\/p><\/dd>\n That option lives in Fatal Error Recovery \u2192 Settings and is off until you tick it. Once on, an error raised inside a Blaminhor Essentials file is emailed to me so I can fix it; errors from other plugins or from your theme are never sent. A report contains the error message, the file and line inside the plugin, and the plugin, WordPress and PHP versions. File paths, email addresses, IP addresses and credentials are stripped out first, and your site address is never included \u2014 only a one-way identifier that cannot be traced back to your site. The same error is reported once per plugin version, five reports per version at most. Untick the option and everything stops immediately.<\/p><\/dd>\n Your data is safe by default. Deactivating keeps every setting untouched, so you can switch the plugin back on right where you left off. Even deleting the plugin removes nothing unless you first turn on the \"Delete all data on uninstall\" option \u2014 and your posts, pages and media are never touched either way. If you do opt in, uninstalling cleans up the plugin's own options, tables and files so nothing is left behind.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Turning a module off only stops it from running \u2014 your redirects, SEO meta, form entries and settings are all kept, so you can switch it back on later exactly as it was. Data is only removed if you delete the whole plugin with the \"Delete all data on uninstall\" option enabled.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The Backup module creates separate archives for database, plugins, themes and uploads. You can schedule automatic backups (daily, weekly, monthly) and set retention limits.<\/p><\/dd>\n The plugin automatically creates a safety backup before any restore. If something goes wrong, you can undo it with one click.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. You can configure multiple relays with automatic fallback. If the primary one fails, it tries the next in your list.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The Content Duplicator fully supports all major page builders, including Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Brizy and Oxygen.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. For example, the Post Types Order module lets you choose which roles can reorder content (Administrator, Editor or Author), and the User Role Editor gives you fine-grained control over every capability.<\/p><\/dd>\n The Fatal Error Recovery module detects PHP fatal errors and gives you a secret recovery URL to deactivate the problematic plugin \u2014 no FTP access needed.<\/p><\/dd>\n Eleven. English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Russian and Turkish are fully translated; Dutch and Indonesian are partially translated, with anything untranslated falling back to English.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, on a per-site basis. Each site keeps its own settings, its own database tables and its own backups (Backup, Domain Changer and Database Optimizer store archives in a separate per-site folder), so sites stay fully isolated. Network activation, deactivation and uninstall apply cleanly to every site, and sites created later are set up automatically. Two notes: server-level browser cache and GZIP rules live in the shared root .htaccess and are managed by a network administrator (PHP page caching still applies on every site); and there is no central Network Admin screen yet, so you configure each site from its own dashboard.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n
