Description

File Change Monitor is a lightweight WordPress plugin that detects file changes in your core, theme, and plugin directories, helping you monitor unauthorized modifications or malware injections.

Features

  • Scans critical WordPress directories (wp-admin, wp-includes, wp-content/themes, wp-content/plugins)
  • Detects file additions, modifications, and deletions
  • Sends alert via email to the admin email address
  • Lightweight and fast
  • No configuration required – install and activate

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/file-change-monitor directory, or install it via the WordPress plugin repository.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. The plugin will automatically start monitoring file changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize which folders are monitored?

Currently, the plugin monitors core WordPress folders by default. Custom folder support will be added in a future release.

How often does the plugin check for changes?

The check runs once per page load (via the init action). A future version will include support for scheduled (cron-based) scanning.

Can I receive alerts through Telegram or other services?

The current version supports email alerts. Support for additional channels is planned.
