It was Monday morning and I was on a call with a dozen others who are my peers. Each of us helps the small business owner with their businesses in one way or the other. It was at the end of the call and we were each sharing our websites and going over how to make little improvements here and there. Time was running out and there was just enough time for one more website review, I volunteered. As my site was coming up for all to see suddenly the screen turned a maroon red with an outline of a security officer with his hand stretched out and the words of"don't precede malware threat." I was too horrified to remember precisely what it said although there was more. I was concerned on being destroyed plus humiliated the people click to find out more on the call had seen me vulnerable, that I had spent hours.
I back up my blogs regularly using a free plugin WP DB Backup. If anything happens I can always restore my blog. I use WP Security Scan plugin to scan my site and WordPress Firewall to block requests to repair hacked wordpress site.
An easy way to maintain WordPress safe is to use a few built-in tools. First of all, do not allow people run a web host security scan, to list the files in your folders and automatically backup your web hosting account.
Exclude pages - This plugin adds a checkbox,"include this page read the full info here in menus", which can be checked by default. If you uncheck it, the page won't appear in any listings of webpages (which includes, and is usually restricted to, your webpage navigation additional reading menus).
What's the best way? Out of all the possible choices that are available right now, which one is appropriate for you personally and which route should you choose?
These are some. Thing is that they don't need much time to do. These are also easy options, which can be done easily.
