BBQ Pro helps keep your WordPress site safe and secure by detecting and blocking bad requests. This helps to conserve precious server resources like memory and bandwidth. BBQ Pro runs silently in the background, checking all incoming traffic and blocking any URI requests that contain nasty stuff like base64_, eval(, .exec(, and other malicious nonsense.
== Installation ==
### Installing BBQ Pro ###
1. Download a zipped copy of BBQ Pro from Plugin Planet
2. Unzip and upload the `/bbq-pro/` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
3. Visit the WordPress Plugins screen to activate BBQ Pro
4. Visit BBQ Pro License to activate the license
5. Visit BBQ Pro Settings to configure options
Step 5 is optional; by default BBQ Pro works just like the free version of BBQ, silently protecting your site with no configuration required. To customize the plugin, visit the BBQ Settings and BBQ Patterns.
__Note:__ BBQ includes complete inline documentation; click the "Help" tab in the upper-right corner of any BBQ settings screen for more information.
