I selected the Protect Files option for some of my sites and it crashed them all - made them blank and no one could login.
What are the changes made to the readme.html, wp-config.php, install.php, wp-includes, and .htaccess files? And how do I revert those changes since they seem to be done in the database and permissions?
Do you provide documentation for this?

I'm trying to learn about this as well. I've allowed Better Wp Security to have write access to the wp-config.php and .htaccess files, however I can't figure out how it goes about protecting them.
Were you able to get an answer to this?
For that one it only adds the following lines to .htaccess:
<files readme.html>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</files>
<files readme.txt>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</files>
<files install.php>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</files>
<files wp-config.php>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</files>The write access option means allowing the plugin to write to .htaccess and wp-config.php or having to do it yourself. (If it's off it won't touch them)

I understand. Thanks for the information bit51!
