DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT setting

    Sometime ago, added define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true); in wp-config.php, as an extra security measure suggested from somewhere. Today, noticed another plugin (RankMath) complaining about how it can’t write to robots.txt, so after some investigation had to revert back to define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false);.

    Is Pareto Security sensible too to the such aforementioned setting, while handling .htaccess and the banned IP’s list?

    Thanks.

    No sorry. The only test PS runs is whether or not .htaccess is writeable, and it if is then it writes ip addresses, if not it just 403 blocks the request and logs it as a block rather than a ban.

    This will be included in the next update.
