Description
This powerful yet user-friendly WordPress plugin enables you to create, edit, and manage your « security.txt » file directly from the WordPress dashboard. As one of the most critical files on any site, the « security.txt » file communicates your security policy and contact information to security researchers.
What is security.txt?
A proposed standard which allows websites to define security policies.
Can I use this with multisite?
Yes! However, if you are using a subfolder installation it will only work for the main site. This is because you can only have one security.txt for a given domain or subdomain per the security.txt spec.
Technical Notes
- Requires PHP 7.2+.
- Requires WordPress 5.7+.
- Rewrites need to be enabled. Without rewrites, WordPress cannot know to supply
/security.txtwhen requested. - The plugin registers rewrite rules for
/.well-known/security.txtand/security.txt; server-level rules may be needed if your web server handles those paths before WordPress. - Your site URL must not contain a path (e.g.
https://example.com/site/or path-based multisite installs). Learn more on spec.
