class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_WordPress_Security_Is_Important\"><\/span>Why WordPress Security Is Important <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who owns a website, definitely requires WordPress security. It will help them to secure their site from hackers, harmful scripts and other security issues, which can steal data or gain access to private WordPress security. Brute force attacks, malware, and phishing are real threats and dangers to WordPress sites. That is the reason why you should know the crucial steps to make your WordPress site safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep yourself updated about the latest WordPress security practices to protect your site. You can prevent security issues by updating your plugins regularly. Create an extra protection against unauthorized access by making sure that every user has a unique username and password, which are difficult to guess. Install security plugins like Wordfence Security Plugin to monitor your site in real-time, so that you will always know what&#8217;s going on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to keep your website safe from attacks and data breaches, you must take WordPress security seriously. So, ElySpace will help you to identify the threats that can compromise your website security and to keep your site absolutely safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Common_Risks_for_WordPress_Security\"><\/span>What Are the Common Risks for WordPress Security?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Weak passwords is one of the most common security risks for WordPress sites. By having a very weak password, it becomes easy for hackers to guess it and hence they can easily access your site and create trouble. Always create very strong passwords by mixing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, this will be the first biggest step to keep your site secure.&nbsp; If you don&#8217;t have any idea, use a password manager to choose a strong password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second big risk is having outdated software. Older versions may have weaknesses like outdated WordPress core files, plugins, or themes which is a huge advantage for hackers. So, always keep everything updated to their latest released versions and always take backup of your site, to restore it in case anything happens wrong during an update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other risks include hackers injecting harmful code into your site, brute force attacks (trying different passwords to get access), and hosting that is not secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_Keep_My_WordPress_Website_Safe\"><\/span>How can I Keep My WordPress Website Safe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, WordPress security is open-source software, which means anyone can see the code that makes it working. There are many security teams, volunteer developers, and many other people working hard to keep wordpress sites secure but on the other side a lot of hackers trying to find weaknesses in this code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most security problems don\u2019t happen because of issues in the WordPress code. They usually happen because people don\u2019t keep their WordPress site and plugins updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Of the security problems are caused because people don\u2019t keep their WordPress site and plugins updated. Not because WordPress code has any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_ElySpace_WordPress_Hosting\"><\/span>Choose ElySpace <a href=\"https:\/\/elyspace.com\/wordpress-hosting\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/elyspace.com\/wordpress-hosting\">WordPress Hosting<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.

It is very easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Strong_User_Names_And_Passwords\"><\/span>Use Strong User Names And Passwords<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For better security, it\u2019s important to use strong usernames and passwords. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choose a Unique Username<\/strong><br>Don\u2019t use very common usernames like \u201cadmin\u201d or even your own name. Instead of that use a very unique and difficult to guess username or simply a random username. Some usernames you should avoid.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Admin<\/strong>: It is a common target for hackers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your Real Name<\/strong>: As already said, don&#8217;t use your real name, it is easy to guess. Publish content by creating a different profile, which doesn&#8217;t have admin rights\/role, so that your main username will not be visible on the site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Personal Information<\/strong>: Don\u2019t use your personal details like birthdays, they are easy to find.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Site Title<\/strong>: Also never use something which is related to your site, like \u201cTrouser\u201d for a men clothing store.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a Strong Password<\/strong><br>Use a hard to guess password. You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/accounts\/answer\/32040?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Googles Account Support Service<\/a> and can create a very strong password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use Different Passwords for Different Sites<\/strong><br>If you&nbsp; have multiple WordPress sites, then use different passwords for each site.You can create strong random passwords by using a password manager.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Store Passwords Locally<\/strong><br>Prefer storing your passwords on your local computer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Two-Factor_Factor_Authentication\"><\/span>Use Two-Factor Factor Authentication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an extra layer of security for your WordPress login. In this a second step is required to access your account, like a text message (SMS) or a time-based one-time password (TOTP). 2FA stops unauthorized access and also protects your WordPress admin panel safe from attacks like brute-force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/elyspace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-2-1024x449.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elyspace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-2-1024x449.png 1024w, https:\/\/elyspace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-2-300x132.png 300w, https:\/\/elyspace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-2-768x337.png 768w, https:\/\/elyspace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-2-1536x674.png 1536w, https:\/\/elyspace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-2.png 1917w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s How to Set It Up:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Install The <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/google-authenticator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Authenticator<\/a> Plugin<\/strong><br>We highly suggest you to Install Google Authenticator Plugin, it is free. It allows unlimited users. First install this plugin and go to a user account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set Up Two-Factor Authentication<\/strong><br>Create a new secret key or you can scan the provided QR code.

This may be easy, but if someone has access to your site\u2019s admin panel and it is compromised, then they can make harmful changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to use these editors, if you don\u2019t want to. You can disable them with one line of code in your wp-config.php file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>phpCopy code<code>define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true);<\/code><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t stop hackers completely by disabling thes editors, but will make it harder for them to make changes. It is an extra layer of security and gives you time to solve any issue if anything goes wrong in your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lock_Down_Your_WordPress_URL\"><\/span>Lock Down Your WordPress URL <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Change your login URL, because this will make it hard for hackers to find and attack your WordPress site. Hackers know this default WordPress login URL: <a href=\"http:\/\/domain.com\/wp-admin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">domain.com\/wp-admin<\/a>, because it is very common. Change it to reduce the risk of attacks and it will secure your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s How to Change Your Login URL:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use a Plugin<\/strong><br>First, install the free &#8220;WPS Hide Login&#8221; plugin and this plugin will let you change the login URL \/wp-admin to whatever you want like \/login or \/mysecurelogin. Change a path which is very hard to guess for hackers but easy to remember for yourself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limit Login Attempts<\/strong><br>Install a free plugin like \u201cLimit Login Attempts\u201d plugin, it will limit login attempts by a user to a specific number, before being locked out. It will also redirect bots away from your login page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra Security with Cloudflare<\/strong><br>Then enable Cloudflare Rate Limiting tool for added protection, as it will detect and block brute force and DDoS attacks by utilizing the Cloudflare network.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Change_WordPress_Login_URL\"><\/span>How to Change WordPress Login URL <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With \u201cWPS Hide Login\u201d plugin you can freely change your login URL.
