How To Prepare a Diagnostic Report With BetterShield?

1 min read

Generate and copy a BetterShield setup report that excludes addresses, account names, network addresses, and keys.

In BetterShield, open BetterShield › Settings › General › Privacy & sharing › Report a problem.

What it does

Prepare the report describes the BetterShield and WordPress setup needed for diagnosis. It leaves out the site address, email addresses, usernames, IP addresses, credentials, and keys. What is left out of it lists the exclusions. Nothing is transmitted when the report is prepared.

Step 1: Prepare a Diagnostic Report

Select Prepare the report, read the generated output, then select Copy the report. Paste it into a request on BetterShield support only when you choose to send it.

Report a problem row with Prepare the report and an explanation of excluded information.
The report is prepared on the site and is not sent automatically.

Review the copied text before sharing it. Add the exact error, time, and steps that produced the problem separately.

What it can break and how to undo

Preparing and copying are read-only. The copied text remains in the device clipboard until another copy replaces it. Clear the clipboard if the device is shared.

Final Outcome

The report should appear below the row and copy without including the site’s address, account names, network addresses, or secret values.

Report a problem row with Prepare the report and an explanation of excluded information.
Example Diagnostic report view. Check the saved values and status on your own site.

This is how you can prepare a diagnostic report with BetterShield.
