Module-2: Modern Dashboard Sidebar UI
Enable a modern and cleaner WordPress admin sidebar design that improves readability, spacing, and visual organization for administrators.
Module-3: File & Environment Hardening Guard
Secures production sites from code modifications or unauthorized software deployments by dynamically intercepting user capabilities to disable backend theme/plugin installations, uploads, and direct file editor boxes.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin modify WordPress core files?
-
No. WPGreeks Securities never modifies WordPress core files. All functionality is implemented using official WordPress hooks and APIs.
-
What happens if I forget my custom login URL?
-
You can temporarily deactivate the plugin via FTP or your hosting file manager. WordPress will automatically restore the default login URL.
-
Does the plugin affect website performance?
-
No. The plugin is designed to be lightweight and loads assets only when required.
-
Is the Modern Dashboard UI compatible with other plugins?
-
Yes. The UI enhancements use isolated and namespaced CSS to minimize conflicts with other plugins.
-
Is data sanitized and validated?
-
Yes. All settings use WordPress sanitization, validation, nonce verification, and Settings API best practices.
-
Does the Environment Hardening Guard affect manual developer file updates?
-
Not at all. The lockdown mechanics purely restrict dashboard-level execution capabilities, such as code additions or web-installer screens. You can still modify files safely over secure SFTP/FTP.
