Hi Adam, What a great video! I have been thinking about improving the security of my website. I recently helped my sister set up a WordPress website as well, and I think she will appreciate this video as well. I gained a lot of information that will be very helpful in the process. I really appreciate you sharing the top problems with security. I realized I have been making some mistakes with the security of my website. Thanks a lot for sharing this, it was a great help.

Thank You for all of your videos that you did. I am enjoying all of them

Very thorough video about the rigors of modern website security.

Great video as always. Really appreciate your work.

another great video Adam, thank you.

Hey, great vid as always! It made me think of my next planned website. Can you tell what exactly is needed, how many plugins to make a (smallish) e-commerce website secure? Like what is needed to make a website secure as possible: SSL, Sucuri and so on. It would help lot of viewers to ease their minds as website creation or making a website as secure as possible can be really overwhelming.

I'm the 900 Like! =) Thanks for the great content you provide.

Awesome video, Adam you are the best!

Man, you are so professional.

Good tips. Also choosing the right hosting is crucial.

Thank you for putting in the time and effort to create these tutorials. PS: I'm curious -- has anyone here ever used one of the referral links and got rewarded with a premium course as promised? If you have, kindly reply. My experience suggests that the offers might not work exactly as promised. So I would like to know if it's just me or if that's a general experience.

Thanks for sharing this information .

I really appreciated your video and big thanks...Hats off to you!

Hey Adam. Thanks for the video. What's your take on Itheme Security? Worth it?

Well noted and thanks Adam

Very good work!

Great video! Any videos or guides on securing our own VPS such as from Vultr?

hi Adam been following you for years! thanks for everything you do! i just updated to wordpress 6.5 and i dont see this auto update option. was it discontinued by wp?

I've noticed on the WP plugin repository that most of the 1-star reviews for the iTheme Security plugin are all recent, (and the 5-star reviews are months old) with most saying the update has ruined a great plugin and asking them to roll back to a previous version. Have you evaluated your glowing review of the plugin for current WP versions? Do you still feel the same, or did they make a misstep and it's no longer a good choice?

Thank you.

How good is iThemes Pro Security plugin?

Thanks Adam

Nice one.

Is there a way to set an update time for the auto-update? It would be good if that is during the night....

I'd advise against automatic updates as it can cause stability issues for your website better to check every week or so for a new updates manually that way if anything does go wrong you'll have a much easier time troubleshooting

Green Mart theam not visible cliparts.. please tell me how can get.....

would you please share how to keep a device safe from hackers as well not just a website? and what about apps, please? thank you.

Hello Adam, Great video! Great content!!! I am just wondering when you place subscriptions and tiers on your website, how google crawl your new content if it's locked for everybody now that you are asking for people to subscribe and pay you for different tiers in order to have access to your content? And also, I follow some of your tutorials and when I place the payment method with Paypal, they charge a whopping 10% of the total amount charged. I think is too much. Do you have any solution to lower the amount we have to pay to these big companies? Thank you for all you do for us!!!!

Is GPL Themes and Plugins are pirated? If no, can I use these to my clients or personal sites?

What about image etc upload that customers can order? T-shirt, mug makers or even a photographers can face that issue.

Product again buy reminder email, like if user buy product after 45 days he get email again buy this product .. any plugin

what about blue host, host gater and similar?

That was a Great video, Adam. I do have a couple of questions: 1. What do you think about "Solid Security"? (they were used to be called "iTheme Security") 2. What do you yourself use for Anti-Spam in your Comments area and can you please do a video tutorial on it?

I want to live with you, guys can you just imagine having this guy in the next room as you. OMG, I would have some serious websites, much better than the ones I have currently. Adam knows everything such a mentor... Anytime I get stuck.. Ohh you whoooo! Oh Adammmm my Bosom Buddy

Could the php version play a role on security? The php8 is more secure from php7?

@ownmicelio

Yes, php 8 is more secure because the last version has more bug and vulnerabilities issues fixed

Like any other software your server uses, you should maintain the latest stable release version of PHP because it contains all bug fixes which might address security issues.

Is CLoudways the same as Digital Ocean? DO is terrible...

Hi, i don't mean to be picky, because this is an important video. But can I ask you to do a yearly update for us? It makes sense to keep it recent. Thanks for the awesome videos :)

How about using GPL-licensed plugins or themes?

@jacksoncremean1664

2 жыл бұрын

GPL license has no effect on the security of plugins and themes only use what you need and install plugins from trusted sources will go a long way in securing your wordpress site

How does that work with Privacy laws, specially GDPR, when you use Cloudways, a Pakistan Hosting company?

Really ultime security but didn't cover basic infor such as Such as wp-amdin extension change, free plug in to block brute force attack, hardening of files ect. Can do all this with free reputable plug ins.

If hacked couldnt you have your host to reset everything reinstall Wordpress and roll the backuped paged back ? I know you have to know which exploit the hackers used to fix that after a reset.

@jacksoncremean1664

hackers can infect backups with malware they can also include logic bombs so you won't know that they were infected with malware until it's too late you must do a full analysis of your server and figure out how the hackers got in before you can do something like restoring from backups there is a reason why when companies get hacked it takes them a while to sort it out

any info on this please BPS Alert: Hidden Plugin Folders|Files (HPF) Alert -

A former dev of mine uploaded a file into wp content containing some files such as a .htaccess file. He did never mention anything. Is this something really bad? And how can he upload it? I didnt give him FTP, only admin for the website, meaning he could go into ghe backend

@Henfredemars

10 ай бұрын

That's a tough question to answer. That file controls the web server rules for who can access the contents of that directory. Depending on what's in that directory the rules might or might not be appropriate. It's instructions for your web server on how that directory can be accessed by users, if at all.

What about itheme security??

@WPCrafter

It’s really good. But it doesn’t proactively protect you from threats.

Does goDaddy purposely create issues and force customers to buy options to protect the sites or Sell anything?

Why didnt you talk about VirusDie?

Allowing developers access to administrator accounts is a major security breach. Some developers claim they cannot solve bugs unless they have access. That is a lie. There are other ways to debug plugins. I do NOT allow them access. They have to fix their plugins some other way. Did not mention state-sponsored or commercial espionage which not includes spying but also sabotage. A good security scanning firm like Cleantalk will deal with many problems.

Dont understand how you can trust a Company that as you said they were a new Company that didnt do what they promised. And you got hacked with their services installed

I think it’s about how they (the company) responded to their error. If they owned it, apologized for it, and talked about how they’d make sure it didnt happen again - and then follow through on it - then it’s worth giving them a second chance. Paul didn’t go into it, but I suspect they must have found a way to convince him to give them that second chance.

Yea I hear ya. I think they oversold what they were capable of in their early days and we were simply unprepared for a zero-day attack. They have since gotten their act together and are making good contributions to WordPress as a whole.
