One of the first things you do when you set up a WordPress site is work on the colours. It's time to add information and text. But what about WordPress security? Don't let the fun of setting a site that is new up distract you you're putting online.
My first step is but it helped me. I had a fantastic old fashion pity party. I cried and railed against the evil hackers (that where probably 13 and smarter then me) And I did before I started my website, what I should have done. And here is where I would like you to start. Learn hacked. The thing about secure your wordpress website and why so many people recommend because it is really easy to learn, it is. Unfortunately, that can be a detriment to the health of our sites. We have to learn how to put in a safety fence.
I protect an access to important files on the site's server by putting an index.html file in the particular directory, that hides the files from public view.
This is quite useful plugin, protecting you against brute-force password-crack attacks. It keeps track of the IP address of every failed login attempt. You can click here now configure the plugin to disable login attempts for a selection of IP addresses when a certain number of attempts is reached.
BACK UP your site frequently and keep a copy on your own computer and off-site storage. For those who have a very active website, back. You spend a whole lot of money and time on your site, do not skip this! Is BackupBuddy, no back up plugins, widgets, your documents and database. Need to move your site to another host, this will do it in less than a couple of minutes!
I prefer using a WordPress plugin to get the work done. Just make sure is in a position to do select copies, has restore performance, and can replicate. Also be sure that it is frequently updated to keep pace with all versions of WordPress. There's absolutely not any use in not functioning, and backing your data up to a plugin that is out of date.
