Simple WordPress security tips are considered a dime a dozen, but there are some security tips tried and true. As a WordPress Developer and a WordPress Development company we are responsible to make sure that every user from the first-timer to a seasoned veteran understands how to keep their WordPress site secure.
Greg Taylor, WordCamp speaker explains some of his best WordPress Security Tips.
Keeping WordPress Secure
Change your password often. Never use a simple password — make sure the WordPress says the password is strong. Passwords like ‘Password123’ or ‘Appl3’ (where you use a number or character instead of a letter) or very BAD ideas.
Keep WordPress Updated. Always make sure WordPress, WordPress Themes, WordPress plugins and everything else are constantly updated. If you are unsure how to do so, Trinity Web Media offers WordPress Maintenance Services.
Choose a reputable WordPress host. Cheap hosting is not good, and good hosting is not cheap. Choose accordingly. Top tier hosts have various security measures in place to protect your site.
More often than not, WordPress malware and other attacks are not personal. They result from the efforts of Internet bad guys looking for an easy way in. Deploy at least the three above WordPress security measures and your site will be less vulnerable to attack.

While I’ve known Greg for years from our time together in the marketing scene, I’ve only recently had the chance to work with Trinity Web Media on a client project. Not only was the team professional and their work spot on, they were amazingly quick to respond and required very little hand-holding along the way. I chalk that up to their past experience and a deep understanding of best-in-class services.
I have hired Greg and the Trinity team multiple times for work on my own websites, and have also hired them to work on behalf of multiple clients. He is simply a pleasure to work with, in every respect. Smart but without the giant ego of some developers, Trinity Web Media works with his clients to achieve their vision in the best way possible — with careful attention to their interests, and thoughtful recommendations based on his expertise. • Susan Baier – Founding Marketing Strategist – Audience Audit
