    Hello everyone!

    iThemes Security created the file nginx.conf file in the wordpress main directory with this content:

    # BEGIN iThemes Security - Do not modify or remove this line
# iThemes Security Config Details: 2
	# Protect System Files - Security > Settings > System Tweaks > System Files
	location = /wp-admin/install.php { deny all; }
	location = /nginx.conf { deny all; }
	location ~ /\.htaccess$ { deny all; }
	location ~ /readme\.html$ { deny all; }
	location ~ /readme\.txt$ { deny all; }
.....

    I don’t think this config file works, so do I need to include it in my /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain.conf ?

    Hi @itsmeit, thank you for reaching out. You will need to include the file as a snippet in the server’s main NGINX configuration file. Then, restart your server for the changes to take effect. I hope this helps!
