Code Monitor is an enhanced, user-friendly plugin that scrutinizes your WordPress directories for new files based on specified types (e.g., PHP, HTML, JS) and changes in the .htaccess file. It includes subdirectory monitoring and alerts you via email when new files are detected or if there are modifications to the .htaccess file.
This tool is essential for website administrators aiming to stay vigilant against potential security threats. Unauthorized file creation or changes to critical files like .htaccess in WordPress directories can indicate a security compromise. With customizable monitoring settings, Code Monitor offers comprehensive protection for your website.
