Thank you very much for posting such useful informations like this!

Best Regards
 
Very nice and useful reading here.

Thanks a lot.
 
It would appear this plugin broke my site... I got to the #prefix stage, pressed the blue button, went to the next stage and it booted me to the 5 minute WP installer screen! I did back up wordpress from the first step, but the email sent to me had no attachment. Any advice?

EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it. I changed the $table_prefix in wp_config.php to the prefix that Better WP Security set, why Better WP Security didn't do that automatically is beyond me...

Click to expand...

Did this to me today, I set mine up months ago.
Ended up with a redirection loop back to the installer that I couldn't recover from and the backups it's been generating don't work. Wouldn't mind, but there is no install.php left to run, deleted, so how does it try to run the 5 min installer?
Eventually lost the whole site.
 
Cheers for the writeup! About time i updated my security :)
 
Great Post!
Running like a charm in my wordpress site, thanks! Reps Given!
 
Thank you for sharing your knowledge it saves a great deal of time and headaches
 
I've been through many sites and plug-ins and created secure-your-website.com. Everything is free, including the plugins.
It's easy to follow and I broke it down into levels. Level one will take you less than 15 minutes and will do a pretty good job
of securing your WordPress site. The other tasks, if you want to add more security, don't take much skill, and I've avoided
moving files around. Let me know what you think. ART
 
Thanks so much for the guide! I have just used this on two wordpress sites and it's fantastic :)
 
I have that plugin theme but don't know how to make it secure more.
