WordPress File Monitor is a utility plugin designed to enhance website security by tracking file changes. It monitors for added, deleted, or modified files within the WordPress installation and sends email alerts whenever changes are detected. This ensures that website administrators can promptly respond to unauthorized alterations, providing peace of mind regarding website integrity. The plugin also features customizable monitoring based on file hash, timestamp, or size, and allows exclusions for specific files and directories, enhancing its flexibility.

In addition to real-time monitoring, the plugin displays alerts directly within the WordPress administration area, making it easy for users to stay informed. It supports multisite installations and can be configured to run checks via an external cron job, preventing slowdowns during website visits. While the basic features are available for free, a pro version is expected to offer additional functionalities such as SMS alerts and more detailed email notifications.
