[Blog Tip] Securing your Wordpress admin

http://www.justjace.com/2007/09/10/s...rdpress-admin/

The best way I have found is to secure it by limiting to your ip only. This is a simple solution and you just add this

order deny,allow
allow from 123.45.67.123 # This is your IP Address
deny from all

to your wp-admin .htaccess file

What this does is tell your server to not let ANY other ip addresses but yours into the wp-admin folder. This requires an update every once and a while unless you have a static ip, but worth the extra effort.

yeah, that would be a pain in the ass

in that case you can just set up a htaccess username/password similar to that of a paysite

I was searching through blog resource sites today and I found this, http://www.blogworldexpo.com/, a blogging convention in Vegas November 8-9. I guess that shows you how far blogging has come...

good idea, thank you, but what about to rename the folder to "-my-h1dd3n-admin-" or similar? i think it will be working well as in the folder wp-admin and nobody will find it ;) but its another newbies thanks for sharing your useful tips, respect!

you can do that, but you have to let wordpress know you are doing that

found this htaccess hack to accomplish just that

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
##### ABOVE THIS POINT IS ALREADY INSERTED BY WORD PRESS
##### Michi?s code is BELOW #####
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} wp-admin/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !YOURSECRETWORDHERE
RewriteRule .*\.php [F,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !YOURSECRETWORDHERE
RewriteRule ^ADMINFOLDER/(.*) wp-admin/$1?%{QUERY_STRING}&YOURSECRETWORDHERE [L]
##### Michi?s code is ABOVE #####
##### BELOW THIS POINT IS ALREADY INSERTED BY WORD PRESS
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Cool tip, never thought about using .htaccess for the admin folder - can I just secure the folder without if affecting the operation of the blog?
