Moreover, you are a businessperson who depend on the wordpress you sustenance, it will be a very fatal. So to secure wordpress, plugin needed some of them : wp-security-scan | wp-phpmyadmin .

The first step we need to prepare in advance are :

• Backup your data, you can use an FTP client or a file via CPanel
• Backup your database on your Wp-phpmyadmin.

After the above steps have been completed you have to do it would be better without strings attached again we headed straight to some steps that can secure your WordPress, the following steps :

• Always upgrade your version of WordPress that has been used, because the latest version of WordPress will definitely further minimize some of the gaps found in previous versions.
• Update plugin - Plugins can be a gap in the website. Make sure your plugins are always updated so that the gaps that exist can be less and less.
• Do not use the name "admin" as the user logged into your administrator, because the user "admin" user is a standard makes it easy for hackers to enter your admin page. Use a different name, or enter your nickname in your wordpress administrator.
• Use strong passwords and difficult to predict its intensity. For example using a password with a combination of lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols.
• Remove the code contained in the header.php file in the templates folder.

<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(’version’); ?>” />

• Make sure the WordPress Database Errors in a state of turn off. In this latest version of wordpress has an automatic default. So upgrade your wordpress immediately.
• Remove WP Meta Tag ID. If you run the wp-security-scan, it will automatically be deleted.
• Replace "wp_" in the database table prefix. This step is very prone to error, then do not forget to backup your database before doing this. This can be done using the plugin wp-security-scan, but I do not recommend it. Due to the wordpress version 3.0 to the top often have errors.
• Make it. Htaccess file in the folder /wp-admin/. Copy the code below and paste it in notepad, and save it with the name. Htaccess. Upload the file in the folder /wp-admin/ you.

# BEGIN WordPressRewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule . /index.php [L]# END WordPress

• Hide plugin that we use. If you know if your plugin is hidden or not, how type http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins. If you find a 404 error page has a hidden meaning. But it would be clearly visible if not hidden. To anticipate this, copy and paste the code below into notepad, then save it as. Htaccess. then uploaded to the folder /wp-content/ you.

# BEGIN WordPressRewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule . /index.php [L]# Prevents directory listingIndexIgnore *# END WordPress

After that you can backup your files and database so that any time anything happens can be restored again.
