 When attempting to directly access `wp-settings.php` via a browser (e.g., navigating to `https://example.com/wp-settings.php`), a fatal error is triggered:
+[16-Apr-2025 19:58:43 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "ABSPATH" in /home/example/public_html/wp-settings.php:34
+{{{
+[16-Apr-2025 19:58:43 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "ABSPATH" in /.../wp-settings.php:34
 Stack trace:
 #0 {main}
+  thrown in /home/example/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 34
+  thrown in /.../wp-settings.php on line 34
+}}}
 This occurs because `ABSPATH` is not defined unless `wp-settings.php` is loaded through `wp-config.php`.
 ### Suggested Solution:
+=== Suggested Solution:
 To avoid direct access and prevent such fatal errors, I recommend adding a conditional check at the top of the `wp-settings.php` file like this:
 ```php
+{{{#!php
 if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
     exit;
+}
+}}}
