    Hi, for security reasons I’ve moved wp-config.php one up level from web root to “/var/xxx/yyy/private/wp.php”;
    I’ve created a new wp-config.php in the web root, like this:

    include_once(‘/var/xxx/yyy/private/wp.php’);

    Now Ninjafirewall shows me following message: “Cannot retrieve WordPress database credentials”.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks in advance.
    Marco

    The firewall can detect if the file is located in the parent directory, but it must be named “wp-config.php”. As you renamed it, you need to use the .htninja configuration file to tell the firewall where it is. Here’s the code to add to the file, based on your example:

    <?php
// To tell NinjaFirewall where you moved your WP config file,
// use the '$wp_config' variable :
$wp_config = '/var/xxx/yyy/private/wp.php';
