Hello @alexlii,

Go to “Sucuri Security > Settings”, then scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, you’ll find a panel called “Reset Security Logs, Hardening and Settings”. Click the button, and the plugin will remove all the things that you’ve activated.

In the first screenshot you posted, the one that says “Connection Information”, has nothing to do with the Sucuri WordPress plugin. That’s just WordPress asking you for FTP/FTPS access to the server to execute some administrative tasks.

You don’t have to click anything in the “Hardening” page, if you click the “Reset Security Logs, Hardening and Settings” button everything will be reverted to its default state.

Marking as resolved, let me know if you need more information.

Hello

Thanks for your replay.

I tried, but still it ask for FTP account.

But no this ftp request before Sucuri installed, Still confused why it was triggered.

The FTP question has nothing to do with Sucuri.

Search “WordPress Connection Information” on Google [1][2][3][4].

Hello @yamman,

Thanks for your info, and this seems really a big trouble for us.

it seems that Sucuri Security changed the default permissions of wordpress files/folders, these will make lots of thing does not work, for example:

1# some themes need write dynamic.cc into upload folder
2# some plugins need upload and update the content, like this plugin:https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tumult-hype-animations/
Actually, I just support there will be same issue with other post plugins.
3# Loco translate need write permission to update translation into po/mo files(Although, I am make loco translate with alternative way by SSH ftp with this plugin:https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ssh-sftp-updater-support/ )

Change the permissions/ will always make these themes and plugins does not work.

I tried to reset, but the same issue, please check the screenshot:

Here are what I did on the above screenshot:

1# I deleted API Key
2# and reset it.

But this permission issue seems not be fixed after “Reset Security Logs, Hardening and Settings” /strong>.

Hello,

I tried several times to reset, and now it is rolled back.

Thanks
