If you worry about your data being intercepted, then you could definitely use SSL. In case you don’t know what it is, SSL is a cryptographic protocol that secures communications over networks such as the Internet.

Once you’ve checked that your Web server can handle SSL, simply open your wp-config.php file (located at the root of your WordPress installation), and paste the following:
view source
print?
1define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);

Save the file, and you’re done!

In the 2.5 yrs I have been working with you back when I bought your first release of yoru blogging product not once have you let me down. That is rare in the internet marketing these days and very appreciated. No wonder you have the following you have.

Thanks again. What you gave me access to is going to give everything I need. I can’t imagine needing anything else.

Thanks Alex. Quickie question, what plugins would you use to make this as easy a fix as possible? Thank God Google hasn’t completely stripped me from the search results but it showing it as more a penalty and I will resubmit.

Am I better off with a plugin that masks the directories and a plugin that gives a second layer of password protection? Should that be sufficent? I am not real techie and messing with directories and things like that.

Thanks!

Scott,

Once you clean your blog – use Google webmaster tools to resubmit your blog for re-inclusion into Google index.

Hey Alex, Well my blog has been hacked and hidden text placed in the background color causing my site to go from a PR2 to gray barred. These plugins are going to be extremely helpful in protecting everything for the most part.

I have no idea what to do about getting out of gray barred status from Google however. Any suggestions on that would be helpful. I am guessing it will take a while to get out of it and I guess i just need to keep posting.
