Top 10 Wordpress
Security Tips

2. #1: Stay Up-to-Date
Always keep your Wordpress and plugin installations
up-to-date. You’ll see a notice when you log into your
dashboard if you need to update.

variety of Wordpress plugins to help you,
including UpdraftPlus Backup.

4. #3: Don’t Use “Admin”
By using the standard
“admin” username, it
makes it all the easier
for hackers to get into
your site. Use a name
that no one can guess.

5. #4: Block Failed Logins
Using a plugin like Simple Login Lockdown
allows you to block repeated failed logins
to your Wordpress site.

6. #5: Secure Themes
Themes can include malicious code…check that yours
doesn’t. Theme Authenticity Checker can do this for
you by showing you potentially harmful code.

7. #6: Login Authentification
There are a number of plugins that can give you an
extra layer of login security.
Login Dongle installs a bookmarklet in your browser
and has you create a secret challenge and response
text you need to enter before logging in.

8. #7: Do a Security Scan
A variety of plugins can help you do a security
scan. Exploit Scanner scans your site files and
shows you potentially harmful files.

9. #8: Multi-Tier Security
Wordfence Security is a multi-pronged security plugin
that includes a firewall, virus scanning, real-time traffic
analysis, changes to your core Wordpress files and more.

10. #9: Secure wp-config.php
This file includes
information that you need
to keep secure.

config.php file is secure.

11. #10: Protect Your Directories
You should also protect
the various directories of
your site. Adding the code
“Options –indexes” to your
.htaccess will keep people
from seeing the contents
of your directories.
