    Pro tip: Wordpress security

    Place a .htaccess in your wp-admin directory that only allows your IP to access it.

    Code:
    AuthUserFile /dev/null
    AuthGroupFile /dev/null
    AuthName "Example Access Control"
    AuthType Basic
    <LIMIT GET>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from your.ip.address.here
    </LIMIT>

    great idea...if your IP changes you lock yourself out...be sure you have root and shell access if you do this so you can reset the ip

    It's No wonder I took up drugs and alcohol, it's the only way I could dumb myself down enough to cope with the morons in this biz.

      FTP access to the domain is all you need to change the htaccess.

        Lock down all your WP installs with chmod to avoid any form of malware injects
