2. Update the themes and plug-ins- If you are using a paid theme and plug-ins, update them time to time to run your online business properly.
3. Remove inactive themes and plug-ins- Whenever you change the layout or stop using some plug-ins; uninstall the previous theme and inactive plug-ins.
4. Replace the default admin- After installing WordPress, remove the default username and create your own username, password to prevent hacking.
6. Use a different table prefix - Before installing the software, visit “wp_config.php file”, go to “$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; and give a custom name replacing “wp”. If the software is already installed, open the database through “PhpMyAdmin and change the table name.
5. Use a secure password - Make sure that your password is at least 8 characters long. Use numbers, symbols and uppercase, lowercase letters to create a complicated password.
7. Delete version information- Delete the version information by adding “remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_generator’);” function in the PHP file.
8. Install trusted plug-ins- Before installing any plug-in, make sure that it’s free from virus and malware. Read user reviews and use highly rated plug-ins.
9. Choose your hosting service provider carefully- Once the site is developed, look for reputed hosting service provider. Ask him about the security features he is using for anti-hacking, because after the CMS, hackers’ next target is hosting server.
10. Keep your computer safe- Your computer can also harm the CMS, if it’s not free from viruses. Install an anti virus software in your compute before starting the project and update your OS time to time to get the latest features.
