Hello, i just got a fresh install of WordPress with the one click install from the marketplace and I installed Wordfence and it recommends me to hide user.ini because is public and anybody can have access to it.

Hi,
Method 1: If you don’t need the user.ini/.user.ini file, can simply remove the file.
Method 2: Use the rewrite rule to block any file with extension .ini and .log,
RewriteRule ^.*\.(log|ini)$ - [F,L]
Reload the webserver,
systemctl restart lsws
Best, Eric
