FAQ
-
Yes. ShadowKrypt only changes dashboard visibility. Hidden plugins and themes remain installed, active, and fully functional.
-
Can I hide ShadowKrypt itself?
-
Yes. Enable self-hiding in Hide Manager > Settings. You can still open ShadowKrypt from its direct admin menu URL.
-
Do I need to click Save after changing settings?
-
No on most screens. Hide Manager, Security, Update Manager, and Speed Optimisation use auto-save when you change a toggle or relevant input.
-
Does Update Manager use a custom updater for ShadowKrypt?
-
No. ShadowKrypt does not add its own plugin update server. Update Manager only controls update notices and upgrades for other installed plugins and themes.
-
Will blocked plugins still show update notices?
-
No. When a plugin or theme is blocked (or Block All is enabled), its update notice is removed from the Plugins/Themes screens and manual upgrades are blocked.
-
What happens when I turn on Block All?
-
All plugin or theme toggles in that tab switch to blocked, and every matching update is hidden and prevented until you change the setting.
-
Does Speed Optimisation replace a caching plugin?
-
It includes page cache, minification, and many frontend tweaks, but results depend on your host, theme, and plugins. Use it as a built-in optimisation layer and test on staging first.
-
Why do PageSpeed scores show a dash on localhost?
-
Google PageSpeed Insights needs a publicly reachable site URL. Localhost and private URLs cannot return live PSI scores.
-
Why is dark mode not on the Speed Optimisation page?
-
Speed Optimisation uses its own fixed dark futuristic UI. Dark mode toggle applies to other ShadowKrypt admin screens.
-
Does ShadowKrypt slow down the frontend?
-
Speed Optimisation only applies enabled tweaks on the frontend. Disabled options do not run. Hide Manager, Security, SMTP, Performance, and Update Manager are admin-only.
-
Is ShadowKrypt compatible with multisite?
-
Core features are designed for standard single-site admin use. Test on your network before relying on it in multisite production.
-
What PHP version is required?
-
PHP 7.4 or newer. The Zip extension is required for plugin and theme download buttons.
