Overview
Protect folders and files from unhautorized changes managing filesystem permissions. You can configure the permission mask for file and folders in “protected” and “writeable” status, and with a single click you can switch between them. When you enable writing a cron event is set and the protected status will be applied automatically after 10 minutes.
Please check carefully the configuration before enabling protection! If the default permission mask isn’t correct for your server WordPress will stop working, and you’ll need to restore the correct permission manually.
Pay attention: the suggested configuration is, obviously, only a suggestion: depending on various system configuration the detection could be suboptimal or erroneous.
