Description

BBQ Pro is a WordPress firewall plugin that blocks bad requests and exploits before they reach your site. It checks incoming traffic and stops URI requests containing malicious content, running quietly in the background without interrupting legitimate visitors. The plugin is powered by nG Firewall technology and requires no Apache or .htaccess setup.

Key Features

  • Blocks Bad Queries – The firewall inspects incoming traffic and blocks URI requests that contain malicious content.
  • No Configuration Needed – The plugin works out of the box, so you can activate it without setting anything up first.
  • Email Alerts – You can have the plugin send you an email when it blocks a request.
  • Custom Firewall Patterns – You can edit, remove, disable, or add your own firewall patterns to control what gets blocked.
  • IP Whitelisting – Trusted IP addresses can be whitelisted so they are not blocked by the firewall.
  • Hit Statistics – The plugin records hit counts for each pattern so you can see what the firewall has blocked.
  • One-Click Pattern Testing – Each pattern can be tested with a click to see whether it blocks a request as expected.
  • Import and Export – Firewall patterns can be moved between installations using import and export.

Who Is It For

BBQ Pro is for WordPress site owners who want a firewall that blocks malicious requests and exploits without server configuration. It suits both beginners who want plug-and-play protection and more experienced users who want fine-grained control over firewall rules.
