I have a tutorial coming up in this series where I'll show you how to change your database default prefixes (all the wp_) and also show you how to make it so people can't even access your wp-login in the first place. All coming up next week. Try going to mine. Are you able to access it? Let me know. Nothing's perfect, but the more difficult you make it the better.

I'm going to get that plugin installed post haste. This post has inspired me to think about making a security update by changing the default name of wp-login.php to something like wp-hidden-login.php or something. I'd have to take a closer look since I know I'll break something if I just changed the php filename and the references to itself within the file, but it just seems like that can help deter bots from hacking the login. <em>Al at 7P's last blog post..<a href='http://7pproductions.com/blog/2008/08/20/why-should-i-help-you/' rel="nofollow">Why Should I Help You?</a></em> Great tip, John!

I remember you mentioning that. I've got some good stuff coming up next week with lots of picture-guided tutorials to really cinch down your WordPress with multiple layers of protection. Ok, it's real late and I just got home - so I'm off to bed. :) Hi Cath - While I was writing this post I had you in mind. I remember you mentioning that.

I'll be installing that plugin for sure. I've been hacked before and it does worry me. Using a better password helped a bit. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. <em>Cath Lawson's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuccessPasscode/~3/372947800/' rel="nofollow">Internet Popularity - Are You Faking It?</a></em> Hi John - thanks.

He tried to write his own article but then I gave him a little catnip and he went on his way. Something tells me though this isn't the last time we will see Fluffy. That's true though, there is no such thing as "safe enough," is there? LOL - Fluffy takes his blog security seriously!

That’s true though, there is no such thing as “safe enough,” is there?

I use some of them, but will be adding more to secure my sites.
