As his blog is based and running on WordPress blogging platform, hacking or tweaking into wordpress files was my daily work few days ago. WordPress provides a good facility called plugins for hacking your wordpress as per your needs. Recently i released my own and first wordpress plug-in called WP-CopyProtect. I added the details about the plug-in on the plug-in page, that’s why not repeating same content here please read the respective page to get more information on the plug-in.

For developing a wordpress plug-in i learned basic PHP language, and taken information about the plug-in development from wordpress plug-in developer center .

Currently about 250+ plug-in downloads are recorded at WP-CopyProtect wordpress extend home.
I will develop few more plugins as per my needs and will share them with all.

Now a days if any one think about top level domain blogging, WordPress blogging softwares comes first in mind. Due to huge popularity of WordPress, now it may be Hackers next target [may be hackers are hacking many wordpress blogs].

Currently WordPress itself doesn’t have that much security constraints in there software[though very frequent versions are launched by them, it is not that much secure], so better to take care about your wordpress blog by taking some preventive actions from hackers.

In this post, i will introduce you to few WordPress security related plug-ins that MUST be installed for a wordpress blog.If you know few more and good plug-ins please share with me.

Making a strong password is not the only key for a highly secure log-in. In wordpress default Username is “ADMIN“. Which is know to all, so just guest the password by “Guessing attack” or use “Brute force” attack and get the password. Changing of username from wordpress panel is not allowed and not possible, but it is possible through your database admin panel [Like PHPmyAdmin,etc] but it is much risky and tricky. Janis Elsts developed a nice plug-in for this work.

This is one more plug-in called “WP Security Scan” this plug-in is well know for its security tests for WordPress security.
