Beschrijving
Whenever WordPress performs a core update, it automatically pulls down the following files onto the root:
license.txtreadme.htmlwp-config-sample.php
These files aren’t an inherent security risk by themselves; however they are uneccessary clutter on the root of your site (why would you want a wp-config-sample.php file on your production website?!); and it’s just another easy-to-read vector confirming that you have a WordPress site for script-kiddies to scrape and attack.
Simply install this plugin and it will clean up those files every time you perform a core WordPress update.
Installatie
Upload the Core Files Update Cleanup plugin to your website & activate it as normal. That’s it! The plugin will only fire whenever a core WordPress update is performed.
Make sure to back up your installation before making any significant changes, and always test a plugin’s performance before installing anything on a live production environment!
FAQ
-
Should I back up my site first?
-
You should always make a backup of your site before any major updates as a matter of course. This plugin will only delete the files specified above; only after a core update; and only attempt to do so if these files actually exist. But you should always err on the side of safety. Always back up!
