 * I use this plugin on multiple websites and they all keep giving me file guard
   detection warnings like below. Since its in the private sector i think this is
   nothing to worry about right? If not is it possible to turn these off?

 * I checked in the WordPress.org repo and found that the “Really Simple SSL” plugin
   was using an “uploads/code-execution.php” file. Are you using that plugin? Can
   you confirm that the file looks like this one: [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/really-simple-ssl/trunk/security/tests/code-execution.php](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/really-simple-ssl/trunk/security/tests/code-execution.php)
 * To exclude it, go to “NinjaFirewall > Monitoring > File Guard”, and enter `/code-
   execution.php` in the “Exclude the following files/folders” input field. Then,
   click “Save File Guard options”.

   use the REally simple SSL plugin (that i can turn off again i think after installing
   it).. Will check it out! thanks for helping!
