Stop Unauthorized Access with WP Lock
Anyone with access to your WordPress files can do a lot of damage. Hackers tend to get quite creative when landing in your account. From sneaky backdoors in add-ons, SQL injections with various malware, and sending spam through your mailer, the risks are more than a few.
This stops today!
As a site administrator, you can effectively lock your files and databases from outside access and make them uneditable. The Lock status stays as long as you deem fit, and no one else can remove it apart from yourself.
