Readme

=== SiteShield Safe File Manager === Contributors: siteshield Tags: file manager, maintenance, wp-content Requires at least: 5.8 Requires PHP: 7.4 Stable tag: 1.0.0

A lightweight WordPress-admin file manager restricted to wp-content.

== Installation ==

  1. Upload the ZIP from WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
  2. Activate "SiteShield Safe File Manager".
  3. Open Tools > File Manager.

== Security ==

  • Requires a logged-in WordPress administrator.
  • Uses WordPress nonces for every write action.
  • Restricts access to wp-content.
  • Blocks PHP, executable, .htaccess and .user.ini uploads/creation/editing.
  • Does not use shell commands or external CDN files.

== Server limits == The plugin cannot bypass upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, web-server limits, filesystem ownership, read-only hosting, or host security rules. The File Manager page displays basic compatibility values.

== Recommended use == Use temporarily for maintenance. Deactivate and delete the plugin after finishing sensitive file work. Prefer SFTP/SSH or the hosting control-panel file manager for full server access.
