10 Essential Security tips for WordPress

WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems (CMS’s) available, partly because it’s easy to use and there is a tremendous amount of support.

Scan tools are great and they will get 90% of the infection but if you miss one back door, the hackers will be coming back. The only real way to clean out the hack is to hire a developer like myself or someone who knows PHP to go through every file to find the malicious code and files and get rid of it.” For the full article click here
