HighLevel adds Antivirus to WordPress sites with one-click fixes

HighLevel adds Antivirus to WordPress sites under Sites → WordPress. The Shield tab shows how many items need action and when each site was last scanned. Users can apply one fix or all fixes at once, or snooze an item until the next scan for 7 or 30 days.

Antivirus runs ten checks, each marked Passed or Action required. They cover core and plugin files compared with official versions, unused plugins, HTTPS, the WordPress version and hidden error messages. A Threats column on the sites list shows counts for every site, and one click scans all sites.

Every fix asks for confirmation first and offers Back up first. The Hardening tab adds ten one-click protections, including disabling the file editor and XML-RPC. Applying a fix changes the live site, and Antivirus does not replace updates or regular backups.

What it means

If you use HighLevel. Agencies managing WordPress client sites in HighLevel get scans, fix prompts and hardening in the same account.

What to do. Open Antivirus → Shield on a WordPress site and review the Action required items. Back up the site before applying fixes.

Watch for. Turning on Disable XML-RPC breaks the WordPress phone app, so leave it off if your team uses that app.
