One of the first things you do when you set up a WordPress site is work on the colours, font, layout, and appearance. Then it's time to add text and data. But what about WordPress security? Don't let the fun of setting up a site distract you from the goal of protecting the information you're putting online.
Since scare tactics appear to be at the very least start thinking about the problem, or what drives some people to take secure your wordpress website a little more seriously, let me shoot a few scare tactics your way.
I protect an access to important files on the site's server by placing an click for more info index.html file in the particular directory, that hides the files out of public view.
Exploit Scanner goes in search of anything suspicious through the files on your website comment database and place tables. You are also notified by it for plugin names. It does not remove anything, it simply warns you.
Now we're getting into things. Whenever you install WordPress, you need to edit the document config-sample.php and rename it to config.php. You need to set up the database details there.
I prefer using a WordPress plugin to get the job done. Just make sure the plugin you choose is in a position to do copies that are select, has restore click resources performance, and can clone. Be sure it is often updated to keep pace with all versions of WordPress. There is not any use advice in not functioning, and backing your data up to a plugin that is out of date.
