What a fantastic read! The new Defender Safe Repair tool is a game-changer for WordPress site management. The ability to restore files from the Hub adds an extra layer of convenience and security, ensuring that even if something goes wrong, you can get your site back up and running quickly. The Safe Repair feature itself is invaluable, offering a much safer alternative to deleting files, which can sometimes lead to accidental file deletion and site downtime1. Thanks to WPMUDEV and Martin for highlighting these benefits and for providing such a thorough overview of this essential tool. Keep up the great work!

Hello, thank you for this article, which sheds some light on the quarantined function, and safe repair. I have to admit that when Defender Pro shows me a suspicious file, I still don’t have the right approach to remedy it. So thank you for helping us on this subject, it’s very rewarding.

I really enjoyed the Safe Repair feature within Defender Pro’s Malware scanning section. It’s great how this feature streamlines the process of quarantining files before repairing or deleting them. This not only offers a safer alternative but also ensures that suspicious or modified files are dealt with effectively.

There’s nothing like having peace of mind when dealing with a file that you’re not completely sure what it is, just like dealing with antivirus software on our computer!

This functionality has finally arrived to help us. Although it is always recommended to make a backup of the website, it is interesting to have this feature to mainly deal with false positives without fear of damaging the website’s stability.

Hi Erick,
Yes, those tools work. But it also depends on the type of infection we are facing. Defender is able to alert you about plugins that have known vulnerabilities, changes in code that should not be there and suspicious code, in most cases based on that you should be able to find infection and remove it.

Hope that helps and you will try Defender plugin :)

I think this new function of the defender plugin will be very useful, especially when we are dealing with false positives, as I have already had to delete files that compromised the structure of my website, but I’m glad I had a backup

As someone who has deleted a file and broken a website or two in the past, I am super excited about this new feature. Will need to take some time to go through it as well as the documentation but thanks for listening to the community and providing this :-)

Hey Álvaro Novais

AI is a good way to rewrite things, but as it basically predicts the next word based on its frequency usually we see similar texts around the internet, personally I do suggest people use their own words and AI to help with some parts of texts, but the use of it shouldn’t be a problem as long as it is not used for spam the forums or articles comment.

Best Regards

In reply to Shiv Patel.

“I think the article does a good job of explaining the new Safe Repair feature in Defender 4.1. It is a valuable new feature that can help to prevent accidental file deletion and protect against false positives.

I would have liked to see more information about how to use Safe Repair, such as screenshots or step-by-step instructions. However, the article does provide a link to the Defender documentation, which should be helpful.”

Ei Shiv, It looks like an AI summary, is that right?
