How To Run Quick Setup Again With BetterShield?

2 min read

Reopen Quick Setup with current choices preselected and change only the answers you want to revise.

In BetterShield, after initial setup, Run Quick Setup again appears under BetterShield › Settings › General › Plugin data & tools.

What it does

Quick Setup opens with the site’s current choices. Completing it changes only answers you revise. It can cover selected low-risk protections, the sign-in attempt limit, how visits reach your site, the alert destination, and the optional usage-data answer available to the current administrator. The summary at the end offers Set Up Recovery and Set Up Two-Factor, which open Protection › Recovery and Protection › Two-Factor.

Step 1: Run Quick Setup Again

Select Run Quick Setup again, move through each step, review the summary, and finish.

Quick Setup can be reopened without resetting the rest of the installation.

If the Overview still reports a shared sign-in or two-factor job, use its Migrate action to revisit Coexistence. Before deactivating a source, review what can move and what needs setup again.

Run it after ownership changes, a staging-to-live move, or a review of the site’s baseline. Read each current choice instead of treating the flow as a reset.

What it can break and how to undo

Revised answers can enable or disable the corresponding feature. Use that feature’s own screen or settings history to put back a supported setting. Recovery links and recovery codes have their own lifecycle and are not restored by a general settings undo.

Final Outcome

Return to Overview and Settings. Confirm only the choices changed in the flow have moved.

On multisite

Quick Setup runs per site. Only a super administrator is asked the network’s usage-data choice, and network policy floors may lock a required choice on.

This is how you can run quick setup again with BetterShield.
