Recommended WPToolkit Settings

  • Update all plugins, themes, and Wordpress Core files
  • Remove all unused plugins and themes
  • Enact WPToolkit recommendations (at a minimum):
    • Restrict access to files and directories
    • Block directory browsing(can be reverted)
    • Block unauthorized access to wp-config.php(can be reverted)
    • Disable PHP execution in cache directories(can be reverted)
    • Block access to sensitive files(can be reverted)

Addon Domains

When setting up Addon domains (especially for Worpress installations) we recommend the Addon domains be placed outside your primary public_html folder. This helps prevent cross contamination of Wordpress installations if one of them gets infected with malware.
