[GUIDE] Secure your WordPress website - HowTo

Wordfence is also a good plugin, which compares all the core files with that of Wordpress repository. Much useful for sites which often get code injected.

I use this on all my blogs as well, but honestly I just activated it and forgot about it. I never spent much time going through all of the configs properly, I should probably do that.
 
Hi! I changed my wp admin slug but it's still same wp-admin. When I enter my new admin slug it shows "Not found" It's for admin log in, right?

Yes it is. I's probably issue with you .htaccess not being writeable, did you maybe protect .htacces before trying to change path?

Maybe collision with Bulletproof and Better WP Security?
When I installed Better WP Security and had already Bulletproof installed in my web site I was locked out.
So I had to delete Better WP Security plugin through Cpanel and only after that I can get into my web site.

And, which plugin from above is better to use?

OrihinalEXE, thank you for wonderful help!
 
Just wanna ask, how much resource does this plugin use? Thanks for the info btw!

Not much if you do not use Files check option. It' does not work constantly though, all this plugin does is working with permissions and adding code to .htaccess, so there are not really many constant working processes caused by this plugin.
 
good information. my wordpress blogs once got hacked and it was a pain in the a** to recover everything!

I had my site hacked.
Then installed better wp security.
Ever since (3-4 months) I have messages popping that someone has been blocked for this or that. No issues :)
Good plugin.

Why do they make these for free? They should charge at least $10.

And IF they do charge for it, people will go for nulled one ;) Don't complaint about free things.



Thnks to OriginalEXE , I've installed this from long time ago, but well, I didn't really know what are its functionality
 
Definitely the most useful post I have seen in awhile.
