  2. Open Tools & Utilities ➜ WP-AutoShield Bulk Tools.
  3. Locate the Security & Hardening section and click Set WP Permissions.
  4. Confirm the action; cPFence sets recommended permissions on core files, uploads, and configuration paths.
  5. Review the streamed output for any site that needs manual follow-up.

This ensures PHP files, directories, and uploads follow the secure defaults expected by WP-AutoShield.

    cpfence --bulk-set-wp-permissions
