New File Permission Checks in iThemes Security

iThemes Security has nearly 4 million downloads and we work every day to bring you valuable updates and new features. Today we’re happy to launch new ways to lock down your WordPress sites.

New File Permission Checks

To access the WordPress File Permission report be sure to update to iThemes Security v4.5.8 then navigate to iThemes Security > Dashboard > and scroll down to WordPress File Permissions.  This new feature checks the permissions of important files and folders on your site. iThemes Security indicates the status based on the color next to the file. A green status means the file permission is sufficiently secure. A yellow status indicates a file where you should consider changing it to a more secure permission, to keep unwanted users from accessing your site.
