Sensitive files access scan
The scan
This scan checks that several important WordPress files are not directly accessible.
The fix
SecuPress will block access to those files.
What if the fix doesn't work ?
For Apache servers : the .htaccess
file is probably not writeable. Access your site via FTP and open up the .htaccess
file. Add in the lines provided by SecuPress in the error message.
For IIS7 servers : the web.config
file is probably not writeable. Access your site via FTP and open up the web.config
file. Add in the lines provided by SecuPress in the error message.
For nginx servers : SecuPress can't access the nginx.conf
file. Access your site via FTP and open up the nginx.conf
file. Add in the lines provided by SecuPress in the error message.
