I was browsing the internet and saw something that caught my attention. He will take yours too, believe me. I’m talking about WordPress security and vulnerabilities here, and there’s a lot to say about it, so I’ve started a new category for posting.

The first and foremost thing to do to keep your blog safe at all times is to update it to the latest version. It is the safest (at least they say so). Whenever new security bugs/vulnerabilities are discovered, the platform is updated with fixes and then the bugs are published. In short, everyone knows that.

If you don’t want to mess around with FTP and downloads etc, you can use a plugin that will update you automatically. This way you will always keep your WordPress blog updated. I can’t remember the name of this plugin because I don’t use it, but if you want to install it, do a Google search or the wordpress website. com and you’ll find it pretty quickly. I don’t use it because I don’t want too much “foreign” code on my server… you never know what might happen to your database or something. So I prefer to update it manually.

Oh … and by the way, I’m talking about plugins. Whenever you get a new plugin, make sure it’s safe. Don’t install a plug-in just because the owner says on their website that the plug-in will help you do this or that. You can use a test blog to review the plugin, or maybe ask a software engineer to carefully analyze it. That way you will understand that this is not a threat to you or your business.
