    I have just seen a file change notification in my email from ithemes security. I don’t know if I made those changes. the changes were on the wp-config.php. How do I know the the exact changes that were made? I know that I did some changes last night i guess on changing the database prefix with ithemes. I don’t know if it’s that which has caused a change on the wp-config.php file. how do I notice the exact change that was made on that file and whether it was made by ithemes or a hacker- cos I don’t remember making any direct changes to the wp-config.php file.

    It was the iTSec plugin Change Database Prefix that made the change in the wp-config.php file.

    Only one line changed:

    $table_prefix  = 'wp_';

    Normally wp-config.php changes (newly added lines) are listed in the “wp-config.php Rules” section on the iTSec plugin Dashboard page (Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page). However the Advanced Change Database Prefix feature makes an inplace change. Therefore it is not listed in the “wp-config.php Rules” Dashboard section.

    The only other iTSec plugin features changing the wp-config.php file are Change Content Directory, WordPress Salts and SSL.
