Plugin Description
Plugins lets you to control your site`s files integrity, create and restore files/databases from backups.
After installing the plugin, you need to check settings page first: – Email for reports. Your email which will be used for reports. By default – admins email from database. - Directory for scan. Absolute path to be scanned. Must be accessible and readable for script. By default its your wordpresss root path. – Files with these extensions will be scanned. Only files with these extensions will be scanned. You may change it in a way you need. – Files to be excluded from scan. This options lets you exlude some files from monitoring. For example, cache files that can be changed offen. Set full absolut path using comma separator. For example: /var/www/site.com/cache.php, /var/www/site.com/log.php – Directories to be excluded from scan. This directory will be excluded from scan. Warning: if you set /var/www/site.com/cache for exclusion, the subdirectory /var/www/site.com/cache/cache2 will be scanned! Add directories with comma separator.
In “Update settings” you may set your settings in a way your need. After updating settings you will receive the letter about it.
Main page admin.php?page=SC_main is the second page you need to visit after settings updated. There you have to generate data file about all files (with extensions from your settings) on your site. And after set the frequency of file checking (once per day, twice per day or once per hour).
Now your system files can be scanned for changes. There are two ways to scan: 1) manual. Use wp-admin/admin.php?page=FC_main to access the manual scan options. Press “Check” to scan system manually 2) auto, using wp-cron function. Set your checking frequency and get reports.
!!!Don`t forget to update your data file (“generate”) after installing/updating new plugins, themes, translates or core WP files.
File backups create by using php ZipArchive module (available for PHP older than 5.2.0). Database backups create by using “mysqldump” function not available at Windows servers.
!!! All backups store at /full/path/to/site/wp-content/plugins/sc_filechecker/backups/, so you can download it anytime using FTP client. !!! Please make sure /cache/ and /backups/ directories are writable. Other way plugin will not work
Thats all. Now if some files are changed or some new files appeared in your site you will receive an email about it. It will contains full path to the file, so you will know if changes are made by you (for example, WordPress plugin update) or some evil person :). If changed are legal (update process or etc), just rescan the system to update file info in datafile.
