How to Secure Your WordPress Site or Blog.
WordPress is the most popular application and has been highly used by bloggers. Since WordPress uses MySQL and Php, it is common for hackers to find a vulnerability in WordPress. Here are some tips to Secure your WordPress site.
WordPress is probably the best CMS out there for blogging but is used for all types of sites as well. We offer this awesome CMS for many years for client sites. We know well that Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal and similar applications need some regular Basic work to keep them away from hacking attempts.
Useful tips to Secure Your WordPress Site or Blog:
1. Update WordPress
Keeping your WordPress up to date is the first and basic security tip. This is something that you never want to miss, whenever WordPress is sending an update, it means that they have fixed some bugs, added some features and most importantly added some security features and fixes. You never want to miss out on this.
Please Update as soon as possible.
Specially, with one click update, it’s easier to upgrade your site. Make sure, your theme and plugins are compatible with the update or else update them too. If an update has been rolled out and it’s not a security update, just wait for 10-15 days, before other users stop reporting any bugs.
2. Update WordPress Plugins
As, I mentioned above WordPress releases an update to fix bugs and security holes, and same goes with plugins. Many times, a vulnerable plugin or script used, can cause WordPress hacking. Some plugins are not updated by the programmers they created them, avoid those. Always, use the plugins which are constantly updated and get good support. Being dependent on such plugins, which are not updated from long is a bad idea.
