WordPress Security Tutorial

WordPress is the most popular blogging and CMS

system on the Internet which makes it a favorite

target for hackers. Having a WordPress site

means that you have to take some extra efforts

in order to protect your and your visitors data.

Here is a summary of the best practices for securing a WordPress, that will help you do that.

It is important to mention that these measures

don't guarantee a 100% protection against

hacking attempts, mostly because a 100% secure

website doesn't exist, but they will protect you against the majority of attacks.

Keep your WordPress site and plugins

up-to-date

• It is really important to keep your core WordPress files

and all of your plugins updated to their latest versions. Most of the new WordPress and plugin versions contain security patches. Even if those vulnerabilities cannot be easily exploited most of the times, it is important to have them fixed.

• For more information on that matter, check out our tutorials on how to update WordPress and how to use WordPress auto updates.

Protect your WordPress Admin Area

• It is important to restrict the access to your WordPress admin area only to people that actually need access to it. If your site does not support registration or front-end content creation, your visitors should not be able to access your /wp-admin/ folder or the wp-login.php file. The best you can do is to get our home IP address (you can use a site like whatismyip.com for that) and add these lines to the .htaccess file in your WordPress admin folder replacing xx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your IP address.

Don't use the "admin" username

• Most of the attackers will assume that your admin username is "admin". You can easily block a lot of brute-force and other attacks simply by naming your admin username differently. If you're installing a new WordPress site, you will be asked for username during the WordPress installation process. If you already have a WordPress site, you can follow the instructions in our tutorial on how to change your WordPress username.

Make sure you're site is on a secured

WordPress hosting

• Your WordPress site is as secured as your hosting

account. If someone can exploit a vulnerability in

an old PHP version for example or other service

on your hosting platform it won't matter that you

have the latest WordPress version. This is why it

is important to be hosted with a company that

has security as a priority.

Ensure your computer is free of

viruses and malware

• If your computer is infected with virus or a

malware software, a potential attacker can gain access yo your login details and make a valid login to your site bypassing all the measures you've taken before. This is why it is very important do have an up-to-date antivirus program and keep the overall security of all computers you use to access your WordPress site on a high level.
