My “Wordpress Security Guide” will teach you everything you need to know about securing your Wordpress installation to protect your blog from hackers, bots, spammers, and more! Maybe it’s never happenned to you, but you have no idea how many WP blogs are hacked each and every day. Most of the time web bots and automated software just look for vulnerable web sites and blogs – not just Wordpress – buy anything open source. They’re search for old versions they can exploit and drop scripts into, and then they begin searching everything in your hosting account for even more things to attack!

There are a few reasons I put this Wordpress security tutorial together. First and foremost, there are lots of blog articles online with tips or tricks here and there helping you to secure wordpress – but there is no single tutorial telling you EVERYTHING you need to know all in one place. Secondly – some people are a bit hesitant to implement these security features because they’re not so comfortable doing it themselves for fear they’ll screw up their blog or web site. I am a Wordpress Consultant, and if you need someone to secure your Wordpress blog – I can do that for you if you want to hire me.
