I don't know about you, but when I secured my WordPress blog, and I researched to see what others do to maintain their blog secure, I found so much information that I was completely confused. And some of the data was in fact on the top or superstitious. People told me rename this folder, to rename this file and install these ten plugins. It seemed to be a lot of work and energy.
I back up my blogs frequently using a free plugin WP DB Backup. I can restore my blog if anything happens. I use my site to be scanned by WP Security Scan plugin that is free frequently and WordPress Firewall to block requests that are suspicious-looking to fix hacked wordpress site.
Hackers do not have the capability once you got all these lined up for your security, to come to your WordPress blog. You can have a WordPress account especially that one that gives you big bucks from affiliate marketing.
It represents a necessary task, while it's an odd term : making a WordPress backup of your site to work on offline, or in the event something should go amiss. We are not only being obsessive-compulsive here: servers go down every day, despite their promises of 99.9% uptime, and if you've had this happen to you, you understand the fear is it can cause.
You can also make a firewall that blocks hackers. The hacker is prevented by the firewall from coming into your files. You also have to have updated version of Apache. Upgrade your PHP. It's important that your system is full of upgrades.
Oh . And by the way, I was talking about plugins. Make sure it's a safe one, when you get a plugin. Don't install any more helpful hints plugin just because the owner is saying on his website that plugin view website can allow you to do that or this. Maybe use get a software engineer to analyze it, or maybe a test blog to look at the plugin. This way isn't a threat for your organization or you.
