About WP Ignitor
From the official readme · v1.1.2Description
All sites created with WordPress have the same file and directory structure, and the database table structure is simple. So it’s easy to imagine that it’s a website that is fairly easy to attack from the attacker.

By using this plugin, we can easily perform troublesome server-side access restrictions and maintenance of various configuration files as likes above from the admin panel.
Main plugin features:
- Move WordPress installation directory
- Update and move
wp-config.php .htaccessmaintenance- Cleanup HTML that output by WordPress
- Control behavior each route of WP REST API

You can use the filter hook “wpignitor_emergency_recovery” added since version 1.0.3.
