Strengthen the security of your WordPress site with the Disallow Access WP Sensible Files Module<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In the dynamic and constantly evolving environment of WordPress, the security of your website must always be a priority. In response to this need, we've developed the Disallow Access WP Sensible Files<\/strong> for our WPMasterToolKit plugin. This module is designed to block access to sensitive files in your WordPress installation, reducing the risk of exploitation by malicious users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which plugin can Disallow Access WP Sensible Files replace?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, the protection of sensitive files such as readme.html<\/code> and license.txt<\/code> would be provided by security plugins such as SecuPress, Solid Security, All-In-One Security, Wordfence<\/strong> or by making manual changes to your .htaccess<\/code> or nginx.conf<\/code>. Thanks to our module, we've simplified this process by automating the addition of the necessary configurations for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the purpose of the Disallow Access WP Sensible Files module?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This module is designed to automatically add security rules to your web server, whether it uses Apache or Nginx, to prevent access to certain default WordPress files that could reveal information about your installation, such as the readme.html<\/code> and license.txt<\/code>. It ensures that these files cannot be viewed by the public, thus strengthening the security of your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I use the Disallow Access WP Sensible Files module?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Apache<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your site uses Apache, the plugin modifies the file .htaccess<\/code> to block access to sensitive files automatically, you don't need to do a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following code will be injected directly into your .htaccess :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

# BEGIN WPMastertoolkit: Disallow Access WP Sensible Files\n<FilesMatch readme.html|license.txt>\n\torder allow,deny\n\tdeny from all\n<\/FilesMatch>\n# END WPMastertoolkit: Disallow Access WP Sensible Files<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
For Nginx <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For Nginx servers, go to Nginx Code Snippets<\/strong> to retrieve the code snippet to copy and paste into your configuration file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
