    After enabling all the settings in the Hardening tab, I got the message…

    The Apache mod_rewrite module is not enabled on your web server. Ask your server administrator for assistance.

    We are using Nginx, not Apache. Any suggestions here? I assume it is the Protect admin scripts setting because it the toggle gets switched back off automatically when I try to save the settings. Are there any special instructions for using WP Cerber with Nginx?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    NGINX doesn’t support using .htaccess files so those features can’t be enabled. To get the same results you have to edit NGINX’s configuration files manually. I recommend installing Apache and using NGINX as a frontend server. Otherwise, you will do most WordPress stuff manually: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/nginx/

    P.S. Using NGINX as a sole frontend and backend server makes no much sense since PHP 7.x brought tremendous performance improvements.
