Wordpress Security - To Secure Your Wordpress Installation

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"do not precede malware threat." There was more but I was horrified to remember precisely what it said. I was concerned on being destroyed plus humiliated the people on the call had seen me vulnerable that I had spent hours.

Note that you should try this last step for new installations. You need to change all the table names inside the database if you might like to do it for existing installations.

However, I advise that you set up the Login LockDown plugin rather than any.htaccess controls. Login requests will be stopped by that from being allowed from a certain IP-ADDRESS for an hour or so after three unsuccessful login attempts. It is still possible to access your mobile while from your workplace, and yet you still have great protection against hackers, if you accomplish that.
