4).8 Steps To Protect Your WordPress Website From Hackers
        by Herman Drost

Has your WordPress website ever been hacked?
If so, did you have it backed up?
Is your current WordPress website secure from hackers?

Last year while on vacation at the beach my clients’
WordPress sites got hacked. The hackers substituted the
home page with an offensive graphic. Nobody wants to
receive phone calls or emails from angry clients while on
vacation. Fortunately my web hosting provider kept backups
of all the sites so I was able to restore them to their
original state within a few hours.

The WordPress platform is currently used by 48% of the top
blogs in the world. This means it’s becoming an
increasingly popular target for hackers. No longer should
you ever use WordPress as a content management system
without first making it secure.

Here are 8 steps to protect your WordPress Website from hackers:

1. Always upgrade to the latest version of WordPress

Staying with an old version of WordPress is like keeping
your door unlocked when you leave for vacation. It invites
hackers to take advantage of your site’s vulnerabilities.

WordPress constantly releases new security updates. Usually
a notification is automatically displayed at the top of
your administration panel. As soon as these updates come
out make sure you update your WordPress blog to the latest
version. It only takes a few seconds (one click)

2. Remove outdated themes

With each new version of WordPress comes a new theme. Even
though you may upgrade WordPress to the new version your
old themes remain vulnerable to hackers. This is how
hackers disabled my own sites. I hadn’t removed old themes
that still existed in the themes folder after upgrading.

3. Keep your plugins updated

Plugins make it easy to customize your blog however you
need to constantly keep them updated to prevent hackers
exploiting outdated code. Before purchasing a new plugin
ask the software creator if they always release new
versions of their plugin when WordPress is updated. Often
they will charge a fee to do this.

Free plugins usually notify you inside the WordPress
administration panel when a new version becomes available.

4. Use strong passwords

Avoid using the default username “admin” when you first
install WordPress. For the login password use a mixture of
upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols. The more
complex they are the harder it will be for hackers to crack
them.

To change the default administrator username log in to the
admin area, go to Users and create a new user with
Administrator role. Once the account is created, log out
from your admin area, log in with the new account you
created and delete the old one.

5. Backup your database

When a hacker takes down your site you’ll lose all the
content stored in your database. This could be especially
frustrating if you’ve invested years adding new content to
your blog. Ask your web host if they make backups of your
site on a regular basis. If not look for a web hosting
provider that does.

You can also create your own backup of the database and all
your WordPress files in cpanel. Simply login in to cpanel
and click the backup/restore link.

Under Backup/Restore you’ll see this:

Backup

This feature allows you to download a zipped copy of your
entire site or parts of it onto your computer.

The following are backed up and included in a zip file for
your convenience:

Home Directory
MySQL Databases
Email forwarders configuration
Email filters configuration

Click Backup to save a copy of your database and WordPress
files on your computer.

Backup Buddy Plugin:
This is one of the best backup plugins
for WordPress. It enables you to schedule WordPress backups
(widgets, themes, files, plugins, database), quickly
restore your site or easily transfer it to a different
domain.

6. Install security plugins

Here’s a list of the best security plugins to install:

Better Security plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/better-wp-security/
This plugin hides the locations where vulnerabilities are
located thereby keeping an attacker from learning too much
about your site and preventing them from accessing
sensitive areas like login, admin, etc.

WP Security Scan Plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-security-scan/
This plugin regularly scans your blog settings for any
security loopholes. It can also help you change your
database prefix from wp_ to a custom prefix.

Wordfence Security Plugin
http://www.wordfence.com/
This is a paid plugin that scans websites for malware,
trojans, viruses, and malicious links. It also provides
protection from scrapers, aggressive bots, imitation
Googlebots, and more.

7. Deny access to bots using htaccess file (case study)

If you know of a specific threat affecting WordPress users
you can prevent this attack on your own site by adding a
few lines of code to your .htaccess file then upload the
edited file to your server.

Case Study

Here’s the reply I received from my web host regarding a
large scale attack on the admin logins for thousands of
WordPress sites.

“We could see that bingbot attack to the WordPress accounts
has caused the serious issue in the server. The attackers
are using the User Agent ‘Bingbot’. There large scale
attack on the admin logins for thousands of WordPress
sites. We have made certain firewall rules to restrict
attack to the WordPress sites. We have found that attack
with wp-login.php is too heavy. You can restrict the attack
to wp-login.php from your end by adding the following rule
to .htaccess file. This will prevent others from accessing
wp-login.php. Only you are be eligible for accessing it.”

=====
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent “.*bingbot” badbingbot

order allow,deny
allow from all
Deny from env=badbingbot

order allow,deny
allow from all
Deny from env=badbingbot

=====

8. Spam prevention

Many bloggers forget to secure their blogs from comment
spam. It doesn’t take long before spammers exploit this
vulnerability and you have 1000s of spam comments. This may
cause you to lose readers , ruin your site’s reputation or
get your blog hacked by a malicious hacker.

Here’s how to prevent comment spam

Install Akismet plugin. This plugin checks your comments
against the Akismet web service to see if they look like
spam or not and lets you review the spam it catches under
your blog’s “Comments” admin screen.

Adjust comment security settings.
Login to your dashboard
and go to Settings – Discussion and enable these settings:

“Comment author must fill out name and e-mail”
“An administrator must always approve the comment “

Use the WordFence plugin to scan your comments for
suspicious URLs.

Don’t approve non-relevant comments.
Beware of backlink seekers leaving comments unrelated to
your post content. If you don’t examine them closely you’ll
let them through and add irrelevant comments to your posts.

Here’s an example of a spam comment I recently received:

“Hurrah, that’s what I was looking for, what a information!
existing here at this blog, thanks admin of this web page.”

Warning: Inaction will leave your site vulnerable to
hackers so protect your WordPress website by taking action
NOW on the steps mentioned above. You can thank me later.

5). Web Site Promotion Package

Search engine optimization (SEO) and submission is an absolutely
essential marketing strategy to attract traffic to your site.
Without people visiting your web site, no sales can be
generated.

Just submitting your site will not guarantee a place in the
search engines. You must first optimize your web site for the
search engines before it is submitted.

This promotion package eliminates the need to learn all the
strategies and the great amount of time it would take, if you
would do it yourself.

Here is what you will receive in the package.

1. Search Engine Analysis, research appropriate keywords, Check
Link Popularity, Link Validation, Keyword Density

2. Recommend Changes - you make the recommended changes based on
the research above.(if you wish me to do it, I would need
access to your host to download the web page, make the changes
and republish it - extra costs involved with doing this).

3. Hand Submission to all Major Search Engines (this does not
include Paid inclusions), plus 30 or more smaller search
engines using submission software.

4. Generate a report of all submissions

5. Monitor Site Rankings

6. Suggest other strategies you can use to gain more traffic to
your site.

Side note:
Your site should be monitored on a monthly basis to
stay listed and gain higher rankings. Search engines
take several weeks (or months) for web sites to get listed.

Disclaimer: 
Your site will gain a greater search engine presence,
however top rankings are not guaranteed due to the changing
nature of search engine ranking formulas and the popularity of
competing sites.
