Title: Compatibility with plugins? Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Compatibility with plugins? * Resolved [atdblog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atdblog/) * (@atdblog) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-plugins/) * Before I give it a try, I’m curious about your experience with compatibility with some of my favorite plugins. Does WPTouch play nicely with your plugin? It doesn’t with Wordfence (won’t consistently display the mobile theme, but they tell me they’re working on it). Can I still use W3 Total Cache? And finally, does your plugin make Bad Behavior unnecessary? * Btw: Read your excellent article at [https://www.icontrolwp.com/2014/06/beware-new-security-theat-wordpress-misinformation-virus/](https://www.icontrolwp.com/2014/06/beware-new-security-theat-wordpress-misinformation-virus/). Boy was I way off on IP blocking! Unless someone in this forum is going to tell me that *your* article could be misinformation. ;-p * Thanks! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-simple-firewall/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-simple-firewall/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [Paul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paultgoodchild/) * (@paultgoodchild) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-plugins/#post-6058187) * Hey, * Yea that article actually suggests that you question the author (me) and that you shouldn’t just accept what I say. 🙂 * I use W3 Total Cache on my sites without issue, and I have a couple with WPTouch also.. no problems. * If you do see issues, please, please report them and I’ll see what’s up. The plugin use only standard WordPress hooks and filters and is very stable, but as with an ecosystem like WordPress, problems do arise. * Keep me posted!

Thanks for the quick response. * You didn’t mention the Bad Behavior plugin. Does your plugin provide similar protection or totally different animal? If different, do they play nice together? * Thanks! * Plugin Author [Paul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paultgoodchild/) * (@paultgoodchild) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-plugins/#post-6058234) * Hey, * Well I don’t know a whole lot about bad behaviour, but it hasn’t been updated in about 18 months, and it’s been longer since support tickets were looked at. * I’m honestly not going to support another security plugin… ours works well and I don’t see the need to support duplicated functionality. If there is something in Bad Behaviour you want to see in the Security Firewall, let me know and I’ll definitely consider it! 🙂 * Cheers! Paul. * Thread Starter [atdblog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atdblog/) * (@atdblog) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-plugins/#post-6058235) * Sounds good to me. I was reading a comment by another developer of another security plugin who said not to use more than one security plugin and I’ve been using Bad Behavior and Sucuri. I’ll disable both but I may keep Sucuri around and enable it once a week to use their malware scan. * Thanks for all the quick responses! * Plugin Author [Paul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paultgoodchild/) * (@paultgoodchild) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-plugins/#post-6058236) * Great! Well keep me posted on your progress. * Can I ask you to leave us a review on WordPress.org once you’re happy with the Firewall plugin? I’d really appreciate that. * Another thing might be to post in the BadBehaviour plugin forum to let other users know about this plugin and share your findings on moving from it to ours… some users may appreciate the considerations of a migration user. * Cheers!

I’m caught in an infinite login loop. It redirects to the “Not found” page. Clearing the cache didn’t help … * The url its redirected to is my correct hidden login url but the page displayed is the WP theme page “Not found”. * Thread Starter [atdblog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atdblog/) * (@atdblog) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-plugins/#post-6058243) * I found your article [https://icontrolwp.freshdesk.com/support/articles/3000000959](https://icontrolwp.freshdesk.com/support/articles/3000000959) and that got me back in. * Any thoughts on why the Login Protection/Rename WP Login Page option gave that result? * Plugin Author [Paul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paultgoodchild/) * (@paultgoodchild) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-plugins/#post-6058248) * My guess is that your particular theme is jumping in with it’s 404 handler quite early and preventing the plugin from doing its work. * What theme are you using? * Thread Starter [atdblog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atdblog/) * (@atdblog) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-plugins/#post-6058249) * Its just a simple child theme that’s off the default twenty ten theme (they released an update to twenty ten this week that I installed with the 4.2 update). Simple additions or minor changes to the header, sidebar, footer and css. Nothing fancy, just formatting and display changes, adding images, etc. * I was using another login page renaming plugin. I reactivated it and it appears to work fine with WP Simple Firewall so I just disabled in your Login Protection options the Rename WP Login Page and the G.A.S.P. Protection. * Plugin Author [Paul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paultgoodchild/) * (@paultgoodchild) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-plugins/#post-6058253) * Okay cool… I’ll see if I can narrow that down then. * You should still be able to use the GASP protection login feature though… it’s not related to renaming the login page. * Cheers, Paul.
