Security check and action

By using the "WordPress integrity check" function, you can verify and restore whether the WordPress body files are normal. This is a useful feature when there is a possibility that your WordPress site has been tampered with by malware.

Also, if a security problem is found on the site, "X problems" will be displayed to the right of the site name on the WP Toolkit management screen, and the content will be displayed by clicking on it.
