    When I asked one question in the forum, I provided my site name overthere. My concern is that the replier was able to see my wp-contentfolder. In that folder, he was able to see my function.php, style.php, custom.css and all other files. Is it harmful to show these folder publicly.I tried to change the name of my wp-content folder via ftp, but due tothis my site was not working. Now, I have reset the name of the folder tooriginal one only.
    I want to know the way how to protect my folders from public view.
