WordPress Security Plugins

This section of the WordPress Security Tutorials module includes tutorials on WordPress security plugins.

Some tutorials in this module may require editing your WordPress template or server files. If you need help modifying template or server files please contact a professional or experienced WordPress user for assistance (learn where to get help with WordPress).

Important: Always do a backup of your WordPress site (files and data) before modifying any files. If you don’t want to do your own site backups, then get professional WordPress assistance services, or use backup plugins.
