WordPress Security Presentation
WordPress security is one of my personal favorite topics and I’m always glad to see when my own ideas are fully validated. And yes, that includes my argument on evils of Fantastico Installs as well as few other posts “WordPress Security” and “5 Steps To Practical WordPress Security”
Better yet – when it once more validates the process we use for our Expert WorPress blog installer. And this video presentation does it all!

I got security problem when using wordPress 2.8.3. Someone put an ad without my permission. I erased it once, it came again. I don’t know how he/she did it. Then I erased it again, and a few days later wp 2.8.4 was released. It never happened again after I updated my wp to 2.8.4.
Your Comluv doesn’t work to my link, do you have any idea?
Yeah, strange things happen sometimes. ComentLuv works through third party – perhaps your blog was too slow or perhaps that Third Party server had issues at the time of you submitting your post. Sorry – I can’t explain it but sometimes it fails to pull the feed.
Thanks for your reply. I try to put my homepage now and commentluv can read my feed. I never had problem with commentluv before. Hm, it’s strange.

Hi
I did not quite understand the part about changing the wp-config file from out of the root directory to one level up.
I must check your “Lock Your Blog” video (Ultimate Guide to wordpress Security) to see if you explain what is meant by putting the config.php file up one level. The information in this video is great…easy to follow too, but I don’t remember reading about the config.php file being able to be moved.
Having had a website hacked in once, I certainly appreciate having some means of protection for the ones I now have.
I concur with how well the wp-security scan works. When I used it, it identified three of my files which did not have enough security.
Thanks for all the info.

Marcelle,
I personally don’t practice that one. All my hosting accounts have multiple blogs installed and if I decide to follow this direction – I’ll be unable to maintain sanity. I choose to secure my blogs using a more comprehensive set of actions, as described in my post “Triple “P” of WordPress Security” or in the DVD you mention.
