Introduce
WordPress is the largest content management platform in the world. It runs on up to 4.5% of all websites on the Internet and has been installed more than 76.5 million times. Unfortunately despite its popularity, according to a hack report from Securi, a company specializing in security. WordPress is the most hackable CMS in the world.
Here are some ways to best secure WordPress:
1. Always update wordpress to the latest version:
2. Use strong passwords : don’t set too simple like 123@, name + date of birth, etc.
3. Choose a reputable Hosting because they will have many tools to help us secure our website more.
4. Regularly backup (backup) data:
There are many ways to backup, for example downloading the WordPress file and exporting the database or using a backup from your hosting provider. Another way is to use WordPress Plugin. The most popular are:: backupwordpress , backupguard ,..
5. Use security plugins that are trusted by many users : iThemes Security, Sucuri Security, Wordfence Security…
6. Install SSL/HTTPS for the website,
SSL/TLS is a must when you need to handle sensitive information such as logins and passwords, or when dealing with payment information. Normally, hosts like cpannel also provide it for you. We have this service available.
7. Turn off the File Editing function:
WordPress has built-in file editing to allow copying and editing of the original WordPress file. It can be turned off by editing the wp-config.php file and adding the following line of code:
define( ‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true );
8. 2-factor security with Two Factor Authentication plugin: I will have a tutorial about this plugin in the near future.
9. Disable file access in the browser: Disable Directory Indexing and Browsing
You find the .htaccess file and add this code at the end of the file: Options -Indexes.
10. Change WordPress database prefix to prevent SQL injections:
The WordPress database contains and stores all the most important information for the site to function.
Therefore, it becomes a very attractive target for hackers and spammers who want to execute automated code to perform SQL injection. When installing WordPress, most people don’t change the default WordPress prefix to wp_ .
1 in 5 WordPresss hacking cases are based on SQL injections. When wp_ is set to default, hackers will choose this value to attack first. With this step, you will protect WordPress from such an attack.
