Setting Up Better WP Security
When you first set up this powerful plugin, you will simply click “Security” from the left menu. This will bring up a screen asking you to set up a backup system. If you don’t have a backup system, set this up.
Next, you need to select the option to allow the plugin to change the WordPress core files. This should be done, unless you have a good reason not to select this option.
After this is done, you will want to set up the one-click protection. This is done easily by selecting “Secure My Site From Basic Attacks”.
These are the basic options you will want to set up with Better WP Security. Along with these protection levels, advanced users can set up advanced protection and use the many other options within the plugin.
Advanced Protection
You can choose one of two ways to set up this type of protection with Better WP Security. You can either start at “System Status” and click the “Click Here to Fix” link to secure your entire site or you can select each menu item individually. Menu items include:
User
Away
Ban
Dir
Backup
Prefix
Hide
Detect
Login
SSL
Tweaks
Logs
If you don’t want to set up all of these individually, you can simply follow the first option instructions above and secure your entire site. However, some advanced users may have other plugins for specific parts of their security. In this case, you may want to set up each option individually.
