What the tool does and does not do
These boundaries describe the current tool, including optional actions that only run when you select them.
What it does
- Connects over FTP, encrypted FTPS, or SFTP while your session is active
- Reads selected configuration, log, plugin, theme, and core files for the checks you run
- Can disable plugins, reset .htaccess, clear maintenance mode, and enable error logging
- Verifies on-site backups for supported file replacements
- Tracks reversible changes and keeps failed undo entries available to retry
- Can create or promote the administrator account you explicitly request through the emergency-admin action
What it does not do
- Retain a copy of your site, database, customer data, pages, or images
- Connect directly to database tables or read customer records
- Store your FTP or SFTP password in readable form or write it to a log
- Create hidden users or install hidden back doors
- Keep a connection open after disconnect or session expiry
- Email, sell, or share your site credentials
- Promise that every server, database, malware, or hosting problem can be repaired automatically
Important details
- No retained site copy. Selected files may pass through service memory for checks, repairs, and on-site snapshots. The service does not keep those file contents.
- No direct database connection. The optional emergency-admin helper runs WordPress on your server to create or promote the requested user. The service does not read database tables.
- No continuing access. The encrypted credential vault and browser-held key are destroyed on disconnect or session expiry.
- Recovery has limits. File backups, snapshots, and undo are checked and reported, but FTP interruptions or server permissions can prevent a step from finishing. Failed undo entries remain available to retry.
