    Hi, I’m trying to make these two security tweaks go away:

    1. Prevent Information Disclosure
    2. Prevent PHP Execution

    I do see your codes in the htaccess files. What is preventing Defender from resolving these tweaks?

    Ok now only “Prevent PHP Execution” is not being resolved….

    This may be a matter of permissions. Could you please check that there’s a file like:
    /wp-content/.htaccess
    with next content:

    ## WP Defender - Protect PHP Executed ##
<Files *.php>
Require all denied
</Files>
## WP Defender - End ##

    If there’s no file at all, most probably Defender can’t create it due to permissions, so manually create the file and then go to Defender settings and try to activate it once more.
    If both file and content are in place, try to clear any involving caches and re-apply the tweak from Defender settings.

    Warm regards,
    Dimitris

    The file had this code:

    ## WP Defender - Protect PHP Executed ##
<Files *.php>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
## WP Defender - End ##

    I added the one you provided and Defender still said it hasn’t been resolved.

    It must be something on my end. Oh well. You can close this topic.
