About
The Concise Guide to Securing WordPress and Repairing Hacks contains a practical reference of updates, fixes, and routines a WordPress developer, server administrator, or user can do to make sure their WordPress installations are safe from hackers, as well as steps that can be taken in repairing a hacked version of WordPress. This edition is based on WordPress version 3.4 but the basic ideas and premises should apply to all past and future versions of WordPress.

The purpose of this guide is to aid users of WordPress in securing new and old installations of WordPress to defend against malicious hacks and to guide users in repairing and cleaning their hacked sites. This is not a self-contained user guide; basic knowledge of WordPress, Themes, Plugins, PHP, and MySQL is expected. Some linux experience would be helpful but is not necessary. This guide is also not complete; every day hackers become more clever with their techniques and new security flaws are bound to be discovered and exploited, however this guide is designed to give you the set of skills necessary for securing WordPress and repairing hacked versions WordPress.
