We have introduced direct interface controls for managing file editing and modification restrictions on the site-level Overview dashboard. This update replaces the need to manually declare site hardening rules in a core configuration file with real-time dashboard switches.

**Updates & Navigation**

- **New Dashboard Settings Interface:** Added a dedicated **File Editing** field status inside the central WordPress Details configuration block.
- **Dual Security Directives:** Integrated toggle switches for disabling the native administrative file editor as well as blocking all core plugin and theme installations, version updates, or deletions.
- **Real-Time Configuration Injection:** Modifying dashboard rules updates the underlying site variables immediately, with changes translating instantly to the active live environment.
- **Automated Audit Logs:** Linked all toggle interactions to the central site Activity log to ensure clear security audit paths.
- **Universal Access Rules:** Enabled control access for any active profile holding verified administrative management permissions on the specific target site.

**How to get started**

Log into **MyPressable**, select your target website, and open the main **Overview** page. Locate the **WordPress Details** area and select the modification options to adjust your site restrictions.
