On new server, site got hacked, permissions a bit strange? Please help

You can…

  1. Learn about file permission (on wordpress)
  2. Install WordPress Firewall plugin (version 2 for 3+ versions)
    (this dissalow access to any folder or file indirectly)
  3. Hide Your WordPress Version
  4. Try to update plugins & Wp
  5. install Login Lockdown Plugin
    (this stops any brute force attemts)
  6. Verify that your theme doesnt show “publish by $username” but shows “display name”
  7. Use secret Keys in wp-config.. Keys Generator: here
  8. Move wp-config up one directory (wordpress would look for it dont worry..)

Hope this helps… if nothing else – at least install the plugins.

A small tale.. i used to host one of my website in some 1$ per month server (cant recall its name).. anyhow, it got hacked 4 times in 6 month’s.. and i know a thing or two about wp security… nothing helped!

But – Once i left that hosting, the hacking stopped… 🙂

Have a gr8 day.
