Site Security Revisited!
Hi everyone. I would like to revisit a topic which was brought up the other day. We all need to protect our websites.
I have been maintaining my Wordpress site for the best part of 15 years and yes hackers will look for the slightest slip in security, to mess with your site. One of the basic things is to change your admin login, that's the first!
If they can get to your login page they will use the lost password link, this will allow them to make a password, gain access and then lock you out!
They can be quite resourceful!
I have found the easiest thing to do is install (WPS Hide Login)
This allows you to make your login whatever you want it to be, no hacker can then gain access to your login page and your lost password link is safe!
Now for those who are a little more savvy you can install a small piece of code into your theme php file, that will remove the link but I would only advise this approach if you know what you're doing!
Getting it wrong will cause problems with your theme and website. Be careful!
Keep safe.

Hi. WPS Hide Login is a plugin. You can install it directly on your site by searching your plugins. It does the job in minutes!
As written below, it is a plugin you can install on your website. Go to the plugins of your website and enter "WPS hide Login" in the search, then install it, after that activate the plugin.

It's a plugin that hides your login details. I have been told that all our sites already has this protection. It was something I have been using for a while on other sites.

We actually already hide your plugin and we also automatically protect against brute force attacks on your login page.
This is something that is included in your membership through the SiteProtect platform that is automatically set-up with every website here and is far more sophisticated than ANY plugin as it operates on the server level.
So as long as you have SiteProtect, you won't need this.
Hi Kyle.
