    Hi all,

    I need some help with the security for wordpress. I’m getting 2 critical issues and 4 recommended improvements for wordpress so I need to fix them to make the site safe.

    Here it is:

    One or more required modules are missing 

    PHP modules perform most of the tasks on the server that make your site run. Any changes to these must be made by your server administrator.

The WordPress Hosting Team maintains a list of those modules, both recommended and required, in the team handbook (opens in a new tab).

Warning The optional module, curl, is not installed, or has been disabled.
Warning The optional module, exif, is not installed, or has been disabled.
Warning The optional module, fileinfo, is not installed, or has been disabled.
Warning The optional module, imagick, is not installed, or has been disabled.
Warning The optional module, zip, is not installed, or has been disabled.
Error The required module, gd, is not installed, or has been disabled.

    Background updates are not working as expected

    Background updates ensure that WordPress can auto-update if a security update is released for the version you are currently using.

Error A plugin has prevented updates by disabling wp_version_check().
Passed No version control systems were detected.
Passed Your installation of WordPress doesn't require FTP credentials to perform updates.
Passed All of your WordPress files are writable.

    4 recommended improvements

    WordPress version 5.5.2

    We were unable to check if any new versions of WordPress are available.

Check for updates manually

    A scheduled event has failed
    The scheduled event, wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files, failed to run. Your site still works, but this may indicate that scheduling posts or automated updates may not work as intended.

    The REST API encountered an unexpected result
    The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display, and save, your posts and pages.

    Your site could not complete a loopback request

    Loopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability.

The loopback request returned an unexpected http status code, 404, it was not possible to determine if this will prevent features from working as expected.

    Do you know what I need to do to fix these issues?

    I have already google it but it did not help me much so I need your help with these. If you could send me the link or what I need to do in order to fix these issues that would be great.

    Thanks in advance

    No, not here at WordPress.com. As the site you’re working on uses the wordpress software you’ll need to register an account and ask at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
