<p>Gauntlet Security can find opportunities for improving the security of your site. It checks many aspects of the site’s configuration including file permissions, server software, PHP, database, plugins, themes, and user accounts. The plugin will give each check a pass, warning, or fail and explain in clear language how you can fix the issue.</p>
<p>How you ultimately choose to patch these issues is up to you but whatever method you use, this plugin should always provide an accurate report. It does not make changes to your database or to any of your files and it should be compatible with all other security plugins.</p>
<p>Checks and recommendations include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Set correct file and directory permissions</li>
<li>Turn off directory indexing</li>
<li>Prevent code execution in the uploads directory</li>
<li>Block files in the includes directory</li>

<p>Check the <a href="screenshots" rel="nofollow ugc">screenshots</a> for more detail on some of the above features.</p>
<p>Many of these security checks are based on recommendations from the WordPress codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress.</p>
<h4>Disclaimer</h4>
<p>Some of the tips included in this plugin only require making small changes to configuration files (.htaccess, php.ini, wp-config.php, functions.php). Others require more in-depth changes to the filesystem or database. Before attempting any of these fixes, you should be comfortable experimenting and know how to undo any change you make. That includes making backups and knowing how restore your site from those backups. I can’t guarantee that the recommendations or sample code provided in this plugin will not break your site or that they will prevent it from being hacked.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>Apache web server</li>
<li>WordPress 3.4 minimum</li>
<li>PHP 5.2.7 minimum</li>
</ul>
