Course Description

"The instructor gives a comprehensive review of WP tools and techniques to secure your WP website better. No website is invulnerable to attack but this course will put you way ahead of the game in a short time. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and I plan to use the downloadable code to secure my websites. Excellent course worth the cost many times over!" - Brian Crane____________________________________________________________________Every single day tens of thousands of WordPress websites are attacked. Hackers inject spam on your website, redirect your site visitors to other sites, delete your website files or take over complete control of your website. It's quite scary what a hacker can do once they have access to your website.
If you're a WordPress website owner who thinks their website is too small or too insignificant for a hacker to target, think again. You see, most of the WordPress website attacks these days are completely automated which means no website is safe. Hackers look for vulnerable websites that make it easy for them to gain access. It's your responsibility as a website owner to take security into your own hands and make a hackers job as difficult as possible so they go elsewhere. By the end of this course you'll know and be able to implement the exact steps needed to protect your WordPress website from a variety of common attacks. ____________________________________________________________________"Have whipped through the course, I understand how vulnerable my site is and that I need to take steps to protect it. The explanations of which tools I would need and how I would apply them are clear and there is a useful checklist at the end." - Sharon Ghouila____________________________________________________________________We'll cover steps you can take to better protect your website including:

I am advanced - but relooking at WordPress

By Anil on 4/15/2020

The course content is quite unstructured and very theoritical. The coverage is quite high-level in some areas, while way too technical in others (ex: setting file permissions, db). Some of these can actually be done by a plug-in without knowing code - I discovered this myself by going through the all-in-one-security plugin - which is mentioned in the course, but not demonstrated. The 'securing comments' topic talks about using plugins, but did not even show how to use them. However I discovered that there are a few checkboxes within wordpress itself that controls how comments can be treated - these were not covered. Similarly security plugins - none of the suggested plugins were actually demonstrated. In the overview ,the author says she will show how to do each option but doesnt do so other than in a few places like the setting file permissions etc. This course can be used to get a very high-level understanding of the topic but not get into actually securing a website. It talks about the why, and provides some options about what to do, but does not get into the how to do it.

By Faisal Khan on 2/7/2020

its very informative and we can more strong wordpess security its cover all essential things

By Edwin De La Cruz on 1/6/2020

So far, very simple explanations that are easy to follow. I only wish that the author discussed in more detail if the wp website is affected when one Administrator is replaced with a newer one?

By Stephen Doroff on 11/22/2019

This is going to be extremely important as I start to develop landing pages. This course should be a must for anyone developing any kind of website. No one should be developing WordPress websites/landing pages without this course. I'm so glad I decided to take it!

By Fu Yang on 11/7/2019

By Abner J Muiz on 7/22/2019
