Proper configuration of security settings is vital to protect your WordPress site from common threats.
Key Settings
- Disable File Editing: Prevents users from editing files directly from the WordPress dashboard.
- Change Database Prefix: Use a unique database prefix to make it harder for attackers to guess.
- Enable HTTPS/SSL: Encrypts data transmitted between the user\’s browser and the server.
- Disable XML-RPC: Disabling XML-RPC reduces the risk of brute force attacks.
Configuring these security settings helps fortify your WordPress site against common vulnerabilities and attacks.
