protect-wordpress For Paranoid bloggers on wordpress.

Protect wordpress with .htaccess

• AI ROBOTS/SCRAPERS: https://github.com/tinaponting/ai-robots-scrapers

• No one of these htaccess 1 or 2 makes any diffrent in speed! * For us who are paranoid bloggers or use it as CMS, we want to sleep with peace! use these .htacces and adwises and you will be safe!

About me: A blogger since 2002, been on blogspot as on wordpress, made all mistakes through the years, I learned not only a free firewall can protect med, so I made my own, follow the latest trends in hacking and some blogs on to get it in order:)
I gone throught everything i could find in google, gibhub and forums for all .htacces security, some things didn´t work, some did works! Some old htacces tricks that still works. Use it free but come back time to time to check latest updates. Love //KP Karlshamn sweden

• If you want something on the maybe text; downloads add it with, noteplus + or what you use:)

• works best with Apache, 5.0 + Wordpress, 6,1, 6.6+

• You can use both htaccess and Perrish Press firewall at the same time with no impact on speed! Name PR to htaccess2 and it is ready to protect. WORDPRESS - FORT KNOX:)

Wp.config.php file: //Se also my core - single user or wp addon on here:)

require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
Add this after this:

• define('WP_DEBUG',false);

define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT',true); define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS',true); define('DISABLE_WP_CRON',true); ob_start();?>

Set to: 444 in wp.config.php Also gets some speed! //important!!

• Protect: wp.contents folder, plugins,themes and uploads.
• Protect: wp-admin folder.

Core .htaccess for protection and speed. Set: 444 files rights or of it possible: 440

• Example 220906 : Robots.txt - even if the wp sets up robots.txt, it is not enough! To cover all boots and if you hate: semrush, ahrefs, add more id you don not want!

• (220922) BBQ Custom code: Protects your blog:) If bought BBQ!

• If you got trouble or don´t like folks looking inside your plugins root, this works, set the htaccess in plugins Example: Wpschema root, set 444 .-done!

**** IF You use. perrrishpress 8G Firewall, name it: .htacces2 if use it with my other .htacess in root.

Plugins I recommend:

• disable wp rest-api: // So they cannot se who is the user: https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-wp-rest-api/

None above takes power fron your blog:)

PAYED Firewall:

• BBQ Pro // I love the custom - place in protection for strange files! https://plugin-planet.com/bbq-pro/

• BLOCK BAD BOTS - Blackhole Pro Works very well:) same adress as above:)

• 404 controls: - so GOOD /Payed version best:): https://www.cminds.com/wordpress-plugins-library/404-console-plugin-wordpress/

• Login IP country restriction: login-ip-country-restriction Payed:https://iuliacazan.ro/login-ip-country-restriction/ Free version: https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-ip-country-restriction/ * Both versions Works very well:)

• Protect of your JS files: https://domainlockjs.com/ works very well:) // If your under attack, otherwise not needed!

• Simple Login Captcha: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-login-captcha/ Really godd against Autobots, does not take poer from your blog.

• None above takes power from your blog!

If you got google / bing XML files, set them t0 444 0r if it works: 440:) for safety Set you robots.txt to 444. Do not use: humans.txt, it mostly slow down your blog, ads.txt? Set to 444 or 440. Blogs I Love:

• Perishable Press: https://perishablepress.com/ Always something new to read about security.

• Wphacked blog: https://secure.wphackedhelp.com/blog/

• Strong password generator: https://www.f-secure.com/en/home/free-tools/password-generator // Choose Password length: 32 and after that use some greek, some russian, some norwegian,swedich,Deuch words here and there = Very hard to break! Happy safe blogging folks:)

• Block IP by country: https://www.ip2location.com/free/visitor-blocker //very good if you got to mutch of for example: Hongkong!

• Sitemap Validater: https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html

• Information about IP adresses: https://threatbook.io

• OR https://www.abuseipdb.com/ Abuse IP

• Remove not used files: readme.html license.txt changelog.txt All files .md

Do you need?: wlwmanifest.xml / /wp-includes

• wp-config-sample.php

Wp-admin: /wp-admin/install.php

*****VERY IMPORTANT: Very important; If you got an older blog! On: WP-CONFIG.PHP define('DB_CHARSET','utf8mb4'); //works well in sweden, somehoq:)

******Change it to: define('DB_CHARSET','utf8');

*' To protect: wp-includes/js and css from curious! eyes and hackers, take wp-content: index.php and put it there!
