    Hi,
    I have NinjaFirewall installed on site.com. There is also a subdomain at subdomain.site.com. Is there a benefit to installing NinjaFirewall on the subdomain (e.g. login protection) or does the firewall in the TLD provide the same protection to any sites on a subdomain?

    You would need to install it on each running instance of WordPress, including subdomains, unless of course they all point to the same installation (eg, multisite).
    If the subdomain is located inside a subfolder, you would need to disable the firewall in the parent folder first, install it in the subfolder and then reactivate it in the parent folder.

    Understood. Thank you for the clear explanation.
