Re: Safe Mode Off and JS Infection Issue
That infection? what infection is that then? There are a thousand ways a server can be compromised, it might be possible that having ‘Safe Mode’ on helps to prevent one possible avenue, but you would probably be better off running a well configured Mod_Security module.
As I wrote above I wouldn’t put a huge amount of faith in PHP Safe Mode due to the fact that PHP themselves are removing it entirely from distros.
Not sure that your statement As you know we have to use BP with safe mode disabled is accurate I would advise it’s turned off to avoid issues but equally you can configure it to work for your setup and leave it on it you feel more secure that way.
After all is said and done server security is outside the scope of this support group, it’s not essentially a BP issue, however there are a few good pages written on WP security if you visit the WP codex.
