It was Monday morning and I was on a call with a dozen others who are my peers. Each of us helps the small business owner with their businesses in one way or the other. It was at the end of the call and we were each sharing our websites and going over how to make little improvements here and there. Time was running out and there was just enough time for one more website review, I volunteered. As my site was coming up for all to see suddenly the screen turned a maroon red with an outline of a security officer with his hand stretched out and the words of"do not precede malware threat." I was horrified to recall precisely what it said although there was more. I was worried about my site that I had spent hours on being ruined plus humiliated the people on the telephone had seen me vulnerable.
I back up my blogs using a plugin WP DB Backup. I can always restore my website to the last settings if anything happens. I use my blog to be scanned by WP Security Scan plugin and asks that are suspicious-looking to be blocked by WordPress Firewall to secure your wordpress site.
Also, don't make the mistake of believing that your hosting company will have your back so far as WordPress copies go. Not always. While they say that they do, it's been my experience that the company may or might not be doing backups. Take that kind of chance?
You first must create a user before you can delete the default admin account. To do this go to your WordPress Dashboard and click on User -> have a peek at this site Create New User. Enter all the information you need to enter.
Safety plug-ins that were all-Rounder can be thought of as a security checker. They give you information concerning the probable weaknesses of the website and scan and check the entire website.
I prefer to use a WordPress plugin to get the job done. Make sure is able to do backups that are select, has restore performance, and can clone. Be sure it is frequently updated to keep pace. There's absolutely not any use in backing your data up to a plugin that is out of date, and not functioning.
