  • Hi @iadzemovic,

    First check the source you downloaded your child-theme to be sure it’s a safe place.

    It’s likely a sign that your website needs to be hardened. Consider the following recommendations:

    1. Keep everything updated WordPress, themes, and plugins to close security gaps.
    2. Use plugins such as Solid Security to monitor and protect your site.
    3. Set file permissions to 644 for files and 755 for directories to limit unauthorized access.
    4. Add define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true); to wp-config.php to prevent edits from the admin panel.
    5. Implement a WAF like Cloudflare or Sucuri to block malicious traffic.
    6. Restrict access to sensitive files and use IP restrictions for the wp-admin area.
    7. Enable logging for file changes and user activity with plugin like Activity Log

    Implementing these measures will help strengthen your site’s security and reduce the risk of attacks.

    Thanks
