Wordpress
possesses 40% ownership of blogs out of 100% blogger websites. Therefore the
possession, which is equal to 20%, goes to Wordpress from all around the World
Wide Web. This is really a very big achievement for Wordpress and thus the
future developers can imagine that Wordpress platform is going to evolve
further with more advanced features.The website hosting is quite popular there the security issues must be more because the popular is prone to attacks and risks.
The
Wordpress owners have been losing access to their websites and there have been
many cases till now. The part of the domain or the entire domain is hijacked
and thus in this article we will discuss regarding the problems and the solutions
to those problems. These solutions will make it more secure and safe without
messing with the source code. Let us start with discussing some security
problems.
Security problems:
These
security issues mainly occurs when the user tweak through the installation
process and the addition of new plug-ins and themes applied with Wordpress
creates many problems. The platform must be installed very carefully and the
things installed along with the installation process must not be given priority
and you must be cautious while you are updating new stuff for the first time to
your website.
The
username and passwords create major problems while installing the platform.
Buggy codes, low quality plug-ins are quite enough to crash the entire blog.
There are also free themes with shady codes which also disturbs the security
issues. All these security issues can be removed if we consider while installing
the platform.
Improved security steps:
Keep
the latest up to date version of Wordpress. Never apply old version of Wordpress
since they are not well maintained with security updates. The latest version
like 2.7 gives a clear picture of automatic updates to make the process easy
and up to date.
Report
the issue at once if you see any flaw or bug in Wordpress because the vulnerability
issues are not clear to everyone and thus these bugs can create security
problems
Network
security is also needed to be maintained to send passwords and unencrypted
connections. Client and server side must be taken into confidence before they
exchange something important among them.
Keep
the passwords quite strong. Never store passwords with your name, company name
and avoid using only alphabets and numbers. It must be a mixture of numeric and
alphanumeric characters.
Writing
access must not be given by the web and lock the permission if in case you
needed to allow them to write and create subfolders with purposes of uploading
files.
