It was Monday morning and I was on a call with a dozen others who are my peers. Each of us helps the small business owner with their businesses in one way or the other. It was at the end of the call and we were each sharing our websites and going over how to make little improvements here and there. Time was running out and there was just enough time for one more website review, I volunteered. As my site was coming up for all to see suddenly the screen turned a maroon red with an outline of a security officer with his hand stretched out and the words of"don't precede malware danger." There was more but I was too horrified to recall exactly what it said. I was concerned about my website I had spent hours on being destroyed plus humiliated that the people on the telephone had seen me vulnerable.
secure your wordpress site Watch out form entries. You can usethe information to be processed by Regexp from forms. You can visit their website also define preloaded variables as type data in the kind of checkboxes, radiobuttons etc..
Strong passwords - Do your best to use a strong password, alpha-numeric. Easy to remember passwords are also easy to guess!
I don't think there is a person out there that after learning just how much of a problem WordPress hacking is that it is a fantastic idea. Something I've noticed over the years is that when it comes to securing their blogs, bloggers seem to be stuck in this state that is reactive.
As I (our fictitious Joe the Hacker) understand, people have way too many usernames and passwords to remember. You have got Twitter, Facebook, your online banking, LinkedIn, two site logins, FTP, web hosting, etc. accounts that all come with logins and passwords you need to remember.
Those are three things you can do to maintain WordPress secure without plugins. Put a blank Index.html file in your folders, run your web host security scan and backup your entire account.
