Securing WordPress Configuration wp-config.php File

WordPress configuration file wp-config.php contains your WordPress database login credentials. If it is compromised, then it will reveal information that could give a hacker complete access to your website.

You can add an extra layer of protection by denying access to wp-config file using .htaccess. Simply add this little code to your .htaccess file.

table-prefix-change
content_copyfile_download
<files wp-config.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</files>
