Description: Prevents editing plugin/theme files from the WordPress editor to reduce post-compromise abuse.
How it works: Hardening sets the relevant WordPress constant/behavior so attackers can’t use the built-in editor to plant code.
How to access / configure:
- WP Admin → AegisShield → Hardening.
- Enable “Disable file editing”.
- Save changes.
Recommended setting: Enable on production sites; do code changes via SFTP/Git instead.
