    Dear support,

    Great Plugin! Even with errors it already does what I need it to do.
    Could it be related since the server is running on Windows IIS?

    It generates these errors:
    Warning: is_dir(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (C:\inetpub\wwwroot) in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\domain\wp-content\plugins\wp-simple-firewall\src\lib\vendor\fernleafsystems\wordpress-services\src\Core\Fs.php on line 462

    When activating the plugin:
    The plugin generated 306 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

    in php.ini: open_basedir = “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”

    Thank you!

    @littleyoda thanks for reaching out and glad you’re liking Shield so far. (love your gravatar btw! 🙂

    Shield will try to create a temporary working directory within /wp-content/shield/. It’ll then try /wp-content/uploads/shield/ and a few other places before, ultimately, trying /tmp. It’ll only get to /tmp if it can’t create a directory and write files in all the usual places.

    So if you’re getting this error it means that the disk-write permissions are too strict to allow Shield to write there. It shouldn’t matter that you’re on IIS, but if you could relax restrictions enough to allow for /wp-content/shield/ you shouldn’t see the error about /tmp
