____________________________________________________________________

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:

Two-step verification

Changing WordPress defaults
Hiding, password protecting & denying access to core WordPress files and directories
How to keep hackers from gaining access to your site through comments
Selecting the right host
Selecting the right themes and plugins
and many other security measures

Not sure what these are? Not only will you learn about these security measures here, I'll show you exactly how to implement each one.

On top of that, we'll discuss:

How to know if you website has been infected
How to know if Google has blacklisted your website
And the exact steps to take if your website is hacked

On top of that, I welcome any questions you have as you go through the process of securing your WordPress website.

Having your website hacked means you will lose time, money and possibly even your organic rankings. Don't leave another day to chance and secure your WordPress website today.

You can add more details like 1) Changing /wp-admin/ to something else like /custom-admin/ 2) Disable XML-RPC and much more

Well presented, and easy to understand, it would be nice if the course would include updates for 2022. The course mentions WordPress 4.3.1, and as of today, the version is 6.1.1. This means the course is close to 2017, and while many things may be the same, many things are not. Tech changes at a fast pace, and so should this course to stay relevant.

The course seems very outdated to me. I'll wait for the teacher to answer my questions to change my grade. At first I liked it, but the course was recorded over 5 years ago...

Definitely a great course on WP security. Had no idea how vulnerable some of my WP sites were until this course. Very comprehensive breaks down alot of vulnerabilities and how to quickly lock them down. Would definitely recommend.

The only thing I'd add would be to walk through some of the changes to the .php files including the paths and how to add the code.

This is a much needed information for me to know. Thank you so much for providing a high quality course about wordpress security and I really learned a lot! And also thanks for providing checklists that I can easily use and follow.

I found taking this course uncomfortable. There are people (and worse, machines) out there who mean me (and you) harm. It isn't personal, but they want to exploit the resources of the website you spent hard work creating for their own ends and they don't care how much harm they cause you or your business. Christine's course tells you have to make your website a whole lot more secure, and with relatively little effort or expense. Having taken the course, and made a few changes I feel a whole lot better. This course explains the problems, points out the vulnerabilities and shows you how to fix them. Christine tells us how to do it in a clear and well structured way. At the end of the course you will know how to fix many of the problems yourself, if you feel competent, or you can get someone else to help you. There are lists of resources and checklists too. I'm keeping a link to this course for future reference and I will be recommending it to a few friends.

Christine takes you by the hand and meticulously goes through the many options you have to secure your Wordpress site including a wide range of resources... as like all her courses everything is laid out in a clear easy to digest way and everything flows with just the right amount of info at each stage. Highly recommended!!!

I lost a bunch of adsense websites that were earning good money because I didn't have this knowledge. I highly recommend you get this course if you own a wordpress website.

This course is very helpful. But need more details when a site was hacked. That time how we will remove it. If you add this details then it will be helpful for everyone.

Hackerattacks gave me al lot of worries in the past. In this course Christine comes up with a lot of tips and solutions, that will certainly help me to improve the security on my sites. It's suitable for coders and non-coders.
