Getting hacked is one of the worst experiences you can have as a webmaster. It is not possible to stop all hack attacks. But there are many things you can do as a webmaster to keep your server and site secure. Not taking the most basic security measures to protect your server could lead to disaster. In the past few months, we have covered plenty of tips and plugins WordPress webmasters can use to keep their websites secure. Here are 31 ways you can go about making your WordPress site harder to hack:
Know your environment:
I can’t stress this enough. If you don’t know anything about Linux, Unix, Apache, and other solutions you are using to power your website, you are going to have a very difficult time keeping your server secure. For instance, those of you who know your Linux can rely on tools such as rkhunterto look for backdoors. The same approach applies to WordPress too. You should spend a considerable amount of time to get yourself familiar with how themes and plugins affect your site’s performance and security.
Keep WordPress themes and plugins updated
: this should go without saying. We hear about vulnerabilities in certain themes and plugins each month. Many of them are updated by their developers regularly. If you don’t update old plugins or themes, you might get hacked. If you have multiple websites, you may want to rely on solutions such as ManageWPto handle the updates.
Remove Admin User
: it is a very basic practice that many WordPress users follow these days. There are multiple ways to do it too (e.g. via phpMyAdmin).
