Following Security Measures are not restricted to the word press base path like others, which cause false positives if other software like nextcould is installed on the same server:

Block access to sensitive files
Enable bot protection
Block access to potentially sensitive files

E.g.
location ~* "(?:wp-config\.bak|\.wp-config\.php\.swp|(?:readme|license|changelog|-config|-sample)\.(?:php|md|txt|htm|html))"
should look like:
location ~* "^/YOURWPROOT/.*(?:wp-config\.bak|\.wp-config\.php\.swp|(?:readme|license|changelog|-config|-sample)\.(?:php|md|txt|htm|html))"

There are already a lot of rules that have this condition:

Code:
        #extension wp-toolkit begin
        location ~* "^(?:/YOURWPROOT/)wp-content/uploads/.*\.php" { deny all; }
        location ~* "^(?:/YOURWPROOT/)wp-includes/(?!js/tinymce/wp\-tinymce\.php$).*\.php" {
                deny all;
        }
        location ~* "^(?:/YOURWPROOT/)wp-admin/(load-styles|load-scripts)\.php" { deny all; }
        if ($http_referer !~* "^$|^https?://(.*\.)?(schmu\.net|google\.com)(:|/|$)") {
                rewrite "^(?:/YOURWPROOT/)wp-content/uploads/.*\.(gif|png|jpeg|jpg|svg)$" "/YOURWPROOT/fake-hotlink-stub" last;
        }

In Tools like nextclould request to "readme.txt" or "changelog.md" are absolutely valid and won't mean someone is doing evil things.

WordPress Toolkit version: 4.10.2-4121
