Hey there everyone!

After reading more about the WordPress, I found out that it's quite vulnerable to the hacking attacks. Now I am wondering if there is any way to protect my website? I mean there are some plugins and I have them installed, but if I was a hacker, I would first try to exploit those plugins so I can get easier access to someone's website.

So, does anyone have any good advices on protecting my WP Website? I really want to put a lot of time and effort in it to make it big, so I don't want to lose it all of sudden.

Thanks a lot!
 
no problem, but as hard you will try will never be 100% secure, so better make regular backups
 
There are many plugins and security systems where we can protect wp sites in a better manner.
 
This one is the perfect solution..

There are lots pf plugin out but here its free so use this one.

Use BulletProof Security along with Wordfence. Both plugins are free and must-have for WP.
 
Wordfence has done good for me & my clients sites. In combination with renaming wp-admin & not using "admin" as username.. ;)

Never install any cracked plugins/themes unless you are sure they aren't malicious. It's very easy way to get backdoors on peoples sites.
 
You can add password to wp-admin directory via bulletproof security and I think it's better than renaming wp-admin directory.

I've never quite had a problem with hacking attempts, but I would say the easy solution is just change your password regularly. Maybe once every month.
 
Strange that you've never received hacking attempt. Maybe you're on a not-so-profitable niche?
BTW may I know your niche?

If you use something like phpcipher, you can use their built-in licencing management system to control it.
