From Shaun Quarton at Torque Magazine

  • Backup your site
  • Keep everything updated (Wordpress plus themes and plugins — even the ones that aren’t in use.)
  • Hide your WordPress version
  • Choose secure passwords
  • Use secure usernames too (do not use “Admin”)
  • Move you login page
  • Hide your username (your login name)
  • Limit login attempts
  • Use a secure host
  • Disable the theme and plugin editors
  • Add and configure one or more security plugins

These are all great tips.  Go check out Shaun’s post.  I’m always happy to answer questions as well.

I've been building and maintaining websites since 1997 and building and supporting similar hypertext-driven software since 1987. I've done maintenance, support, and maintenance for physical and digital systems since 1981. And no, I still haven't seen it all but by now I usually know where to look.
