One of the first things you do when you set up a WordPress site is work on the colours. It's time to add information and text. But what about WordPress security? Don't let the fun of setting a site up distract you from the goal of protecting the information you're putting online.
There is a part of config-sample.php that is headed'Authentication Unique Keys.' Four explanations that appear within the block will be found by you. There is a hyperlink rename your login url to secure your wordpress website inside that section of code.You copy the contents which you return, have to enter that link into your browser, and change the keys you have with the special keys supplied by the website. This makes it harder for attackers to create a'logged-in' dessert for your site.
There are ways to pull off this, and a lot involve copying and FTPing files, exporting and re-establishing much more and databases. Some of them are very find complicated, so it's imperative that you select the best one. Then you may want to look into using a plugin for WordPress backups, if you're not of the technical persuasion.
Move your wp-config.php file one directory up from the WordPress root. WordPress will look for it if it can't be found in the main directory. Also, nobody will have the ability to read the file unless they have SSH or FTP access to your server.
As I (our untrue Joe the Hacker) know, people have way too many usernames and passwords to remember. You've got Twitter, Facebook, your online banking, LinkedIn, two site logins, FTP, internet hosting, etc. accounts which all come with logins and passwords you the original source need to remember.
I prefer using a WordPress plugin to get the job done. Make sure the plugin you select is able to do copies that are select, has restore performance, and can clone. Be sure that it is often updated to keep pace. There's absolutely no use in backing your data up and not my sources working.
