  Maximize Your WordPress Security   WordPress Tutorial  Computer Virus Definition:  A computer virus is a type of malware that, when executed, replicates by inserting copies of itself (possibly modified) into other computer programs, data files, or the boot sector of the hard drive; when this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be "infected". Viruses often perform some type of harmful activity on infected hosts, such as stealing hard disk space or CPU time, accessing private information, corrupting data, displaying political or humorous messages on the user's screen, spamming their contacts, or logging their keystrokes. However, not all viruses carry a destructive payload or attempt to hide themselves—the defining characteristic of viruses is that they are self-replicating computer programs which install themselves without the user's consent. Wikipedia   WordPress Software is actually a website cms that's used by numerous webmasters all over the world to manage their websites. As with every other online system, it may possibly have security issues whereby some malicious fellow could identify passwords and be able to login to your internet site. That is certainly a scary prospect for every individual whose livelihood depends online. Outlined in this article, we shall show you the best way to the increase the security of your WordPress website to help you sleep soundly at night. Any form of security on the web is really dependent upon passwords so, the very first thing you must do will be to create a password that is definitely very secure and also hard to guess. When you are setting up your WordPress blog, you will automatically be notified if you're password is a strong one as you're typing it. One can find plugins on the market that purport for making your web blog secure. Visit the plugins area of your admin panel and check for "WordPress security." Before downloading, check the ratings together with the amount of downloads for a particular plugin. A plugin that's got an average of four star ratings and 5,000 downloads really is better than a plugin with 5 star ratings and just 100 downloads. The next step you should do would be to secure you website connection by using anti-virus software on your computer system. WordPress itself has its own security measures which prevents malicious login, such as, your access is automatically locked out for those who login unsuccessfully 3 times. Nevertheless, no level of safety measures from WordPress will continue to work if a pc virus or some other type of vicious software breaks or has the ability to crack your password from your computer system and login from there. Put simply, WordPress cannot identify the difference between a bot and a real human signing in from your laptop or desktop. Also, install a secure web browser that can automatically weed out malicious transmissions. I would propose web browsers like Mozilla Firefox. Your pick of internet hosting service may even affect how secure your internet site is going to be. Do NOT host your web pages on free of charge web host account because you always get that which you pay for. You do pay for the free service with a less secure connection. If you're logged in to your cPanel, make sure to set up file access restrictions. If you don't know how to do it, just ask your web hosting service for instructions on how to set it up. Your internet service provider or ISP also plays a role in your WordPress website's security. Whatever you do, make sure you only use an ISP service that has a secure connection. You can check with your ISP what type of security measures they are implementing in order to secure their connection. In all, securing your WordPress website really isn't as difficult as it sounds. You can make your website as secure as it can be by implementing the measures we mentioned above and making sure you have a hard-to-crack password.   The Right Way To Maximize Your WordPress Security Audio

How To Change Your Default WordPress Admin Username?   When you first installed WordPress (**Fantasico) via your CPanel you were given the chance to choose your own username and password. ** Fantastico is a commercial script library that automates the installation of web applications to a website. Fantastico scripts are executed from the administration area of a website control panel such as cPanel. Fantastico's web site claims that they are installed on ten thousand servers, with a million users worldwide. Fantastico scripts are usually executed when a new website is created, or a new application is added to an existing website. The scripts typically create tables in a database, install software, adjust permissions, and modify web server configuration files. Although Fantastico primarily targets open-source software, a handful of scripts are also available that install proprietary products.  Wikipedia   In my experience the majority just opted for the default username settings of “Admin” as it is was the easiest option.  If you are one of those blog or website owners who fit this scenario then I am afraid that I am a harbinger of bad news. You have just handed a potential hacker 50% of your log in details.  Yep! That’s right, 50%.  All he needs to do now is just work out your password and he can gain entry to your blog or website and cause considerable damage. Now before you start sending me emails about this, I too was one of those people in my early forays with Wordpress all those years ago. So in this short and to the point WordPress Tutorial, I will show you how can change your username and at the same time make it harder for a hacker to access your site.   There are only 8 simple steps involved:  1.  Log into your WordPress dashboard and on the left hand side click on the ‘Users’ tab. 2.  Next, you need to click on add new. 3.  Fill in your details making sure that you choose a username other than ‘admin’.  Perhaps you can use your own name or a nick name followed by some numerals  e.g. John_Smith, JoHnSmiTH or even JohnSmith123-456.  Now before I forget, make sure that you make your password as strong as possible.  I recommend at least 15 characters made up of letter, numerals and those special characters that sit atop of your numbers (#,$, % etc.) 4.  When you have completed, scroll down to where it allows you to select the role of this new user and set the option to ‘administrator.’ 5.  When you have filled in all the details, set the role to ‘administrator just click add new use and when the screen refreshes sign out. 6.  All you need to do now is sign in with your new username and password, go to users and delete your old account details.  Just click the box on the left hand side of your old account followed by delete. 7.  You will now be asked what you wish to do with any posts associated with this account.  You will have a chance to associate these posts with your new username and then all you have to do next is click ‘delete’ and confirm the action. 8.  Last but no means least, make sure that your “display name” differs from the actual username, particularly if you as the administrator posts any articles or blog entries.  Remember that we still want to make it as hard as possible for the hacker. So instead of using your actual username as also  your ”display name”, go back into your user profile and select a nick name which can be displayed instead if you haven’t already done so.  Now your initial set up default WordPress admin username has been effectively deleted and the hacking vulnerability of your account has been greatly decreased. Here's to your wordpress success.        

WordPress Security and Protection   WP Security When it comes to WordPress Security, it is really important that you will always update to the latest WordPress version. In this way, you can easily install the needed updates. In addition, it will also be a great help if you backup your files on a regular basis. Many WordPress security experts look for reports of hacking and attempt to replicate the attack. Once they have discovered the attack, they develop a new version of WordPress. If you do not update your site, more than likely, it is open to an attack. If you Google WordPress security plugins you will find many lists of recommended plugins. Many will scan your site for loopholes and suggest ways to improve security. Implementing these changes can be another challenge but at least you will have started protecting all your hard work Backing up your WordPress site is the first line of resistance and the most important thing you can do to avert a catastrophe. There are many backup plugins out there with varying features and efficiency. Today, there is practically a plethora of WordPress security plug-ins available to keep your sites secured and free from hackers. Each offers unique features and techniques to keep your websites hidden from the prying eyes of criminals who are always on the lookout for good-looking yet very susceptible websites that generate good traffic and income. If you Google WordPress security plugins you will find many lists of recommended plugins. Make sure that you choose the ones that are compatible with your version of WordPress and are constantly updated when WordPress puts out an updated version. When it comes to WordPress security, it is really important that you always update. Lastly, make sure that you regular search for more new updates for WordPress security. WordPress Security Issues Below is a list of security measures you can follow to help your WordPress site to become less vulnerable to attack. 1) Always keep your WP version current as well as and of you your themes and plugins which you have downloaded and are activated. There is a purpose that those notifications appear in your dashboard. Like your computer, those updates usually have fixes to bugs that make the old version susceptible to attacks. Ignore these updates at your own peril. 2) Choose wisely when selecting a plugin or theme. Not all plugins and themes are built on an equal footing. One of the most constantly abused WordPress weaknesses is a poorly designed plugin or theme. The best bet is to stick to the ones WordPress offers you via their Plugin/Theme Directory. Obvious exclusions are those plugins that you pay a fee for and are offered by trusted companies. Don’t go installing plugins on a whim. Check them first to see how often they are updated and are suitable for use with your version of WordPress. The same applies to themes. Invest in a quality premium theme that offers great back-end support. If your finances do not stretch to a paid theme then I would recommend using one of the many free themes that are provided by WordPress.org. 3) Before installing any updates, its good practice to back up your website just on the off-chance that something may go wrong with the update. 4) Change your cPanel password. It is always a good idea to change the password your hosting provider emailed to you. Remember, all the best intentions can’t help you if your cPanel is hacked. 5) Change your default username and password regularly. Change your administrator username from the default “Admin” to something ambiguous and do not use your name. Over 90% of attacks use the in default username ‘Admin’ to try and hack into your site. Hackers are fully aware that countless users never change their default username setting. By leaving your username as the default setting, you are essentially giving the hackers free entry to half of your login details. Lastly,
