This powerful yet user-friendly WordPress plugin enables you to create, edit, and manage your “security.txt” file directly from the WordPress dashboard. As one of the most critical files on any site, the “security.txt” file communicates your security policy and contact information to security researchers.
What is security.txt?
A proposed standard which allows websites to define security policies.
Can I use this with multisite?
Yes! However, if you are using a subfolder installation it will only work for the main site. This is because you can only have one security.txt for a given domain or subdomain per the security.txt spec.
Technical Notes
- Requires PHP 7.2+.
- Requires WordPress 5.7+.
- Rewrites need to be enabled. Without rewrites, WordPress cannot know to supply
/security.txtwhen requested. - The plugin registers rewrite rules for
/.well-known/security.txtand/security.txt; server-level rules may be needed if your web server handles those paths before WordPress. - Your site URL must not contain a path (e.g.
https://example.com/site/or path-based multisite installs). Learn more on spec.

Yes! But won’t work for the child sites on subdirectory setup due to security.txt spec
