How To See Which Security Plugin Does Each Job With BetterShield?

2 min read

Use the Overview to see when another active security plugin already covers a job BetterShield recognizes.

In BetterShield, Who does which job can appear on BetterShield › Overview when another active security plugin is recognized.

What it does

The card identifies selected jobs already handled by another active plugin. It helps explain why overlapping controls may be unnecessary. It does not certify the other plugin or prove that every part of a feature is configured correctly.

Step 1: See Which Security Plugin Does Each Job

No setup is required. Activate a supported security plugin and return to the Overview.

BetterShield Overview area where the Who does which job card appears alongside protection and activity summaries.
Released BetterShield controls shown with example site data. Read the current values on your own site.

Keep one clear owner for each overlapping job. Before disabling either control, compare what each plugin actually covers and how it is configured.

What it can break and how to undo

The card itself is read-only. Disabling an overlapping feature can remove protection if the other plugin does not cover the same behavior. Turn the original feature back on if testing shows a gap.

Final Outcome

The card should name the recognized plugin and the jobs attributed to it. Deactivating that plugin should remove its coverage from the next view.
