Manage your website’s <code>.well-known</code> files with ease using this powerful yet simple plugin. The Well-Known File Manager provides a user-friendly interface to create, edit and manage standardized <code>.well-known</code> files – essential components for modern web security, app associations, and service discovery.
Whether you need to implement security.txt for vulnerability reporting, configure app associations, or set up protocol handlers, this plugin handles the technical complexities while giving you complete control. It creates actual files on your server for maximum compatibility and performance, without requiring any special server configuration or technical knowledge.
Perfect for developers, site owners, and administrators who want a reliable way to manage their site’s <code>.well-known</code> directory through a clean, intuitive WordPress interface.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Easy Management: Simple toggle switches to enable/disable <code>.well-known</code> files</li>
<li>Physical File Creation: Creates actual files in the <code>.well-known</code> directory for maximum compatibility</li>
<li>Content Editing: Built-in content editor for each file type with syntax highlighting</li>
<li>Default Templates: Pre-configured templates for common <code>.well-known</code> files</li>
<li>Validation: Content validation to ensure files meet required standards</li>
<li>Priority Files: Highlighted support for important files like <code>security.txt</code>, <code>assetlinks.json</code>, and <code>apple-app-site-association</code></li>
<li>Automatic Cleanup: Removes files when disabled to keep your server clean</li>
<li>Data Preservation: Files and settings are preserved when the plugin is deactivated or uninstalled</li>
</ul>
Supported Files:
<ul>
<li>Security Files: <code>security.txt</code>, <code>security-txt</code></li>

</ul>
How It Works:
This plugin takes a physical file approach rather than routing requests through WordPress:
<ul>
<li>When Enabled: Creates actual files in your <code>.well-known</code> directory</li>
<li>When Disabled: Removes the files from your server</li>
<li>No Server Configuration: Works on any hosting setup without requiring <code>.htaccess</code> modifications</li>

</ul>
Benefits:
<ul>
<li>Universal Compatibility: Works on any hosting provider without special configuration</li>
<li>Better Performance: Files are served directly by the web server, not through WordPress</li>
<li>Simplified Setup: No need to configure rewrite rules or server settings</li>
<li>Automatic Management: Files are created and removed automatically based on your settings</li>

</ul>
