One of the first things you do when you set up a WordPress site is work on the colors. Then it's time to add text and data. But what about WordPress security? Don't allow the fun of setting up a site that is new distract you you're putting online.
I back my blogs using a plugin WP DB Backup up. If anything happens I can restore my blog. I use my blog to be scanned by WP Security Scan free plugin and WordPress Firewall to block asks that are suspicious-looking to how to fix hacked wordpress.
You can search for software that will backup your database and files. If your website is hacked by hackers, it is easy to restore your website by means of your files and change.
This is very useful plugin, protecting you against brute-force password-crack attacks. It Continue keeps track of the IP address of every failed login attempt. You can configure the plugin to disable login attempts when a certain number of failed attempts is reached.
Can you see that folder what if you go to WP-Content/plugins? If so, upload that blank Index.html file inside that folder as well so people can not view what plugins you have. Someone can use this to get access because if your version of WordPress is up to date, if you're using a plugin or an old plugin using a security hole.
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 permitted from a for an hour or so after three unsuccessful login attempts. It is still possible to access your admin cell while and yet you still have good protection against hackers if you accomplish this.
