Ultimate Security Checker

This is one of the items found by USC on my site. I have no clue what to do with the info. wp-config.php is located where WP put it at installation. I do not see a “WordPress” root folder in my Cpanel

The most important information in your blog files is located in wp-config.php. It’s good practice to keep it in the folder above your WordPress root. WHAT FOLDER????? Help

Sometimes this is impossible to do because:

you don’t have access to folder above your WordPress root
some plugins were developed incorrectly and look for the config file in your WordPress root
there is another WordPress installation in the folder above
