FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is my Google password stored?
No. The plugin uses Google’s OAuth flow. You grant access on Google’s website and WPSeguro receives a token - never your password.
Does it work on shared hosting?
Yes. Jobs run in the background with Action Scheduler to avoid timeouts typical on shared hosts.
What does the plugin back up?
Files (such as wp-content) and a WordPress database dump (SQL) compressed as ZIP. You can restore both.
Where are backups stored?
On your Google Drive under the folder "WPSeguro - Backups". You control storage and retention.
Can I restore to another site?
You can download archives from Drive and restore them on a compatible WordPress site. Follow the same restore flow.
