Ease to use and numerous support aspects makes WordPress one of the topmost Content Management Systems. Quite some hacks are obvious and easy to clean up while most aren’t so it is necessary to know about all the attacks on WordPress site and to study on ways to protect the security for websites.

To mention on Scan tools, they are great but then missing a small hole will make way for the Hackers to get back. Actual clean out lies in a PHP developer who can scan each line of the code to get rid of the malicious code and file. Summing the wordpress security checklist or wordpress security tips to keep away from wordpress security issues here below,

1. Don’t get hacked: More than what your host is, be it the uptime and well supported Liquidweb or any other, how your site is protected is important; make use of the support on phone or live chat all through the day, within Liquidweb. Siteground is another recommended option for hosts.

2. Backing up the database and files on a daily basis is mandatory once a host is chosen and the Wordpress is installed

3. Hackers mess around with files on the server corrupting the back ups, hence use Google drive to store the backups and not a server.

4. UpdraftPlus is a free and a great plugin for backups where it sends the files by FTP to Amazon or Google drive or wherever and sends you the same via the email. Most hackers use your site’s resources to hack further other sites or spam with emails rather than worrying just about spoiling your site so it is the files that get corrupted rather than the database.

5. Backup of sites should be followed by securing the admin; ensure not to use obvious user names because the attack lines are automated to easily crack your username and everything becomes easy thereafter. Making it tougher and tougher for hackers is important

6. Updating the WordPress and all other plugins to date is extremely necessary without which XSS vulnerabilities are quite high within the plugins; And now you know why backing up installations are important, of course because your latest installation might break then you use the back up!

7. Wordfence detects file modifications and lets you know within 20 hours of the hack attempt; make sure to feed in your email id to receive the alerts

8. Monitoring is more important to Security set ups because what’s the point if you keep getting alerts and you give no look at it? Go beyond the basics for more security like enabling scanning behind the repository isn’t an automatically set one but you need to

9. iThemes Security or WP Security is the best to hide the backends. Don’t have it as site.com/wp-admin rather customize it because most hackers get washed away on seeing the 404 error once so you know why you shouldn’t be having obvious backends. Allow the software to write up to your wp-config and htaccess file so you know the code to protect your site is in there. Whitelist your IP, enable 404 detection, enable HackRepair.com’s blacklist feature, ban a host if an attempt is made to login using the admin user name.

10. Secure File Transfer Protocol prevents password access by hackers. Use it.
