I spent St. Patrick’s Day in Ft. Worth with the Ft. Worth WordPress Users Group. We had a great time discussing securing WordPress websites.

I have uploaded an audio recording of my talk and embedded my slides. The recording was made with my iPhone. So bear that in mind if the quality is lacking. 🙂

Overview of the Workshop

This workshop focuses on a few important things to shore up on your site to strengthen it the most.

  1. Using strong passwords
  2. Updating WordPress, plugins, and themes
  3. Using a quality host

Plugins recommendations are made to help with each of these three and what to do it you are hacked is covered as well.
