To AKISMET or not to AKISMET?
That is the question!Is Akismet the best choice for helping to protect a wordpress based site?
Wordpress sites seem to be an easy target for hacking, spamming etc as once you've found a key to one site then you can perhaps get into a lot more.
Are there any other back door locks to be bolting on?
- remove admin logins, make sure the db suffix isnt wp_, install wordfence and securi, akismet couldnt hurt either..heard negatives about the 2 plugins i just...pockets
- mentioned but i think they are decentpockets
- Something like 70% of hacked installs are compromised because of out of date wp core or plugins. Updating your site is a huge security task.noneck
- ithemes security is solid, i use it on all my wp sites.moldero
- good wp hosts will give you backups for rollback, that's great too if all else failsmoldero
- Askimet is a spam prevention tool not a security plugin.fadein11
- by remove admin logins i take it you mean remove the login with "admin" as the username?microkorg
- it just helps prevent spam comments. you need to keep up[dating everything ASAP, thats how they get in ,with old stuff they find vulnerabilities in.dconstrukt
