#8699 closed enhancement (fixed)

Empty index.php for plugins dir

Description

I suggest that an empty index.php file be also added to /wp-content/plugins/ and even /wp-content/themes/, just like the one in /wp-content/

Either that, or remove the existing file in /wp-content/.

PS: A google search for ​"index of" wp-content/plugins shows over 1 million hits.

  • Keywords tested added

Tested against 10937 on IIS and Apache2 hosts - plugin section functions as normal, plugin editor ok, seems to have no undesirable effects on the menu any more since #6478 was fixed.

Seems fine to go ahead with.
