Features of WordShield Security
You can take care of the following security aspects of your WordPress assets by activating this WordPress Security plugin.
Disable XML-RPC
Enabling XML-RPC makes your web property vulnerable to remote code injection. An attacker can easily exploit this weakness to execute arbitrary commands or code in the webserver, facilitating various attacks including unauthorized remote access.
XML-RPC is enabled by default in a WordPress installation. You can protect your website from the XML-RPC vulnerability by ticking a checkbox in the plugin’s settings.
Hide Generator tags
WordPress and WooCommerce include the generator tags by default. But this has a serious security impact as potential attackers can easily identify the specific version of WordPress (or WooCommerce) you are using. This can expose vulnerabilities and make your site more susceptible to hacking attempts.
You can easily remove the generator tags and mask your website’s technical details from the public view using WordShield Security.
Disable PHP Editing
Nobody wants to break a live website by accidentally updating the themes and plugins from the WordPress Admin dashboard.
You can easily disable PHP editing using WordShield Security so that nobody can accidentally change anything.
Note: The current version of the WordShield Security plugin does not work in a multisite environment.
