Secure Your WordPress Installation
Matt Cutts has a nice article and discussion about how to secure your WordPress installation. Security is a huge concern for businesses and organizations, especially when pitching an open source platform like WordPress. Therefore, any measures you can take as a freelancer to protect your client’s data is worthwhile. Matt mentions three tips, which I’ve summarized below:
1. Lock down your /wp-admin/ directory via an .htaccess file
2. Make an empty wp-content/plugins/index.html file
3. Subscribe to the WordPress Development blog
All three tips will take you less than 10 minutes total to implement, so why not?
