On Pro, you can copy most Security Ninja settings between sites from Security Ninja → Tools.

  2. Select all text in the export box.

  3. Copy it somewhere safe. Do not edit the text by hand. Change settings in the plugin UI before export, or after import on the new site.

License data is not included. Enter the license key on the destination site yourself.

Notes for 5.303 and newer

Exports from Security Ninja 5.303+ include:

  • Firewall Visitor IP detection and Trusted proxy CIDRs
  • Events Log REST API errors (defaults to off if an older export omits it)

Older exports without those keys import as Automatic IP detection with an empty proxy list. See Visitor IP detection.

The secret unblock URL is never exported. Save that URL separately for each site.
