00:00:00 00:00:03 what's going on everyone it's jameson
00:00:01 00:00:04 from nyc tik club and we're toking
00:00:03 00:00:06 about wordpress security today
00:00:04 00:00:08 some quick tips on how to make sure your
00:00:06 00:00:11 website is secure so
00:00:08 00:00:12 that it's up and running it's not slow
00:00:11 00:00:15 there's no hackers
00:00:12 00:00:16 there's no malware and yeah so let me
00:00:15 00:00:17 just give you some quick tips on things
00:00:16 00:00:19 that i think about
00:00:17 00:00:21 things that i should be doing things
00:00:19 00:00:22 that you should be doing especially if
00:00:21 00:00:23 you're running a wordpress website and
00:00:22 00:00:24 you don't want
00:00:23 00:00:27 to have to hire someone to clean out
00:00:24 00:00:30 your files to secure your website
00:00:27 00:00:31 these are things you can do yourself so
00:00:30 00:00:33 i got my computer here and i would lift
00:00:31 00:00:34 it and show it to you guys
00:00:33 00:00:36 but the camera is in the way so i am
00:00:34 00:00:38 looking down a little bit
00:00:36 00:00:40 but i wanted to make a video with just
00:00:38 00:00:43 kind of my face because sometimes
00:00:40 00:00:44 i kind of bury myself into these videos
00:00:43 00:00:47 and i don't know
00:00:44 00:00:48 i thought it'd be nice so um i hope you
00:00:47 00:00:50 guys are doing well
00:00:48 00:00:54 and right here we have our wordpress
00:00:50 00:00:57 dashboard this is an affiliate blurb
00:00:54 00:00:58 this is an affiliate wordpress website
00:00:57 00:01:00 that i created
00:00:58 00:01:02 maybe last week and there is a demo
00:01:00 00:01:04 website tutorial all that stuff
00:01:02 00:01:06 i'ma link you guys below if you guys
00:01:04 00:01:07 haven't yet please give a thumbs up it
00:01:06 00:01:10 helps support the video
00:01:07 00:01:13 the ranking the channel all that stuff
00:01:10 00:01:14 and we kind of like when people watch
00:01:13 00:01:15 our videos or at least give it a thumbs
00:01:14 00:01:17 up
00:01:15 00:01:19 even if they don't watch it so we have
00:01:17 00:01:20 our wordpress dashboard right here
00:01:19 00:01:22 and the first thing that you want to do
00:01:20 00:01:24 is make sure everything is up to date
00:01:22 00:01:26 that means your wordpress version
00:01:24 00:01:28 the theme that you're using and all the
00:01:26 00:01:31 plugins and the reason why
00:01:28 00:01:33 is because if things aren't updated then
00:01:31 00:01:34 there might be security flaws or
00:01:33 00:01:38 loopholes or ways for people to get in
00:01:34 00:01:39 or i don't even know there's so many
00:01:38 00:01:41 different ways that hackers can use
00:01:39 00:01:43 things to
00:01:41 00:01:45 place little bugs and all that stuff so
00:01:43 00:01:47 we don't want that
00:01:45 00:01:48 so right here on the dashboard you
00:01:47 00:01:50 should see a number
00:01:48 00:01:52 if you have to update something if this
00:01:50 00:01:53 isn't here then you guys are good to go
00:01:52 00:01:55 but you should be logging into your
00:01:53 00:01:57 wordpress dashboard
00:01:55 00:01:59 every once in a while just to make sure
00:01:57 00:02:01 that everything is up to date
00:01:59 00:02:02 and you can see right here there's also
00:02:01 00:02:05 the updates tab right here these are the
00:02:02 00:02:06 same things we can just click on updates
00:02:05 00:02:08 and if there are any plugins that you
00:02:06 00:02:08 need to update you'll see them listed
00:02:08 00:02:10 here
00:02:08 00:02:12 if you have a theme that is active or
00:02:10 00:02:13 even one that you downloaded that needs
00:02:12 00:02:15 to be updated
00:02:13 00:02:17 you can see them here and again you want
00:02:15 00:02:19 to update these things because
00:02:17 00:02:21 the reason why there are updates to the
00:02:19 00:02:22 themes and plugins are sometimes because
00:02:21 00:02:25 they add new features or
00:02:22 00:02:26 bugs or something but it could also be
00:02:25 00:02:28 that there is a security flaw
00:02:26 00:02:30 so you want to make sure that you have
00:02:28 00:02:32 the most up-to-date versions
00:02:30 00:02:34 all the time so you can see right here
00:02:32 00:02:36 that i need to update
00:02:34 00:02:38 to do i need to update an updated
00:02:36 00:02:40 version of wordpress is available
00:02:38 00:02:42 so i'm not using the latest version and
00:02:40 00:02:43 you definitely want to update that
00:02:42 00:02:45 if you have to so i'm going to click on
00:02:43 00:02:46 the update button and sometimes it's
00:02:45 00:02:48 super quick
00:02:46 00:02:50 sometimes it takes a little bit longer
00:02:48 00:02:53 you can see right here now i am using
00:02:50 00:02:55 wordpress 5.5.3 i don't even really know
00:02:53 00:02:56 what this is but i know my site is a lot
00:02:55 00:02:57 more secure now that i have this and
00:02:56 00:02:58 hopefully it doesn't mess up your
00:02:57 00:03:01 website
00:02:58 00:03:03 so sometimes you want to back up your
00:03:01 00:03:05 website also so maybe we'll tok about
00:03:03 00:03:07 that as we tok about some plugins
00:03:05 00:03:09 that you can also use for security so
00:03:07 00:03:11 before we jump into plugins
00:03:09 00:03:12 one of the other things that you want to
00:03:11 00:03:15 make sure that you're always doing is
00:03:12 00:03:16 having a secure website with a secure
00:03:15 00:03:18 login so
00:03:16 00:03:20 under users on the all users tab right
00:03:18 00:03:22 here you should see
00:03:20 00:03:23 your admin name or any other users that
00:03:22 00:03:25 you created
00:03:23 00:03:26 you can click on the edit button right
00:03:25 00:03:28 here
00:03:26 00:03:30 and once you come into your profile
00:03:28 00:03:31 you'll see the account management
00:03:30 00:03:33 section if you scroll down
00:03:31 00:03:34 to create a new password you want to
00:03:33 00:03:37 make sure that you're using a secure
00:03:34 00:03:39 password so if yours is like password123
00:03:37 00:03:40 or something very simple you probably
00:03:39 00:03:43 want to change that so
00:03:40 00:03:44 you can come in here and the generator
00:03:43 00:03:45 will create one for you or you can
00:03:44 00:03:47 create your own
00:03:45 00:03:48 you want to copy this because you want
00:03:47 00:03:50 to make sure that you know your password
00:03:48 00:03:52 and then you can click hide right here
00:03:50 00:03:53 and then just come down to the bottom
00:03:52 00:03:55 click on update if you do
00:03:53 00:03:57 make that change so i'm not going to do
00:03:55 00:03:58 that because my password is pretty
00:03:57 00:04:01 secure i think
00:03:58 00:04:03 but just a helpful hint for you guys so
00:04:01 00:04:05 the last thing that i want to tok about
00:04:03 00:04:06 in this video tutorial about wordpress
00:04:05 00:04:09 security
00:04:06 00:04:11 is your plugins page so i already
00:04:09 00:04:12 installed a security plugin so let me
00:04:11 00:04:14 just tok about that one really quickly
00:04:12 00:04:15 and then i'll
00:04:14 00:04:17 recommend some other ones but this is
00:04:15 00:04:18 the one that i would recommend so let me
00:04:17 00:04:20 clean up
00:04:18 00:04:22 my dashboard a little bit just because
00:04:20 00:04:22 there's all these boxes and everything
00:04:22 00:04:25 and
00:04:22 00:04:27 kind of hard to see some stuff so on the
00:04:25 00:04:28 plugins page right here you guys already
00:04:27 00:04:30 know that this is a list of all your
00:04:28 00:04:32 different types of plugins
00:04:30 00:04:34 the ones that i recommend or the one
00:04:32 00:04:37 that i recommend is called wordfence and
00:04:34 00:04:37 it's one word right here
00:04:37 00:04:41 w-o-r-d-f-e-n-c-e
00:04:39 00:04:42 so you can find it if you click on add
00:04:41 00:04:45 new under plugins
00:04:42 00:04:46 and then just go to this page right here
00:04:45 00:04:48 and just type in
00:04:46 00:04:50 wordfence so i'm going to type it in
00:04:48 00:04:52 because i want you guys to see that it's
00:04:50 00:04:56 this one right here
00:04:52 00:04:57 three million oops it's the search box
00:04:56 00:05:00 went away because it switched it to two
00:04:57 00:05:01 words right there and i do not want that
00:05:00 00:05:03 so you can see right here as i was
00:05:01 00:05:04 saying three million active installation
00:05:03 00:05:06 three million
00:05:04 00:05:08 plus and it's a five star rating i've
00:05:06 00:05:09 been using word friends and i'm not even
00:05:08 00:05:12 joking about this
00:05:09 00:05:14 for i don't even know six seven years
00:05:12 00:05:16 it's the one that was recommended to me
00:05:14 00:05:18 a long time ago
00:05:16 00:05:19 and it's always up to date it's probably
00:05:18 00:05:20 really really popular there's a pro
00:05:19 00:05:22 version
00:05:20 00:05:24 and it just beats a lot of the other
00:05:22 00:05:25 ones that i've seen out there and i am
00:05:24 00:05:26 going to try to find the other ones for
00:05:25 00:05:28 you
00:05:26 00:05:30 in just a few seconds but this is the
00:05:28 00:05:33 one i would recommend
00:05:30 00:05:34 and they're it's not because i get a cut
00:05:33 00:05:35 or anything like that there's no
00:05:34 00:05:37 affiliate program
00:05:35 00:05:39 there is a pro version of the word front
00:05:37 00:05:40 security but you don't need it you just
00:05:39 00:05:42 need to install
00:05:40 00:05:43 the free version you can scan your
00:05:42 00:05:45 website to see how fast it is
00:05:43 00:05:47 if there's any security issues or
00:05:45 00:05:49 anything needs to be updated or malware
00:05:47 00:05:51 and then from there you can get a list
00:05:49 00:05:52 of everything and then you can start
00:05:51 00:05:54 checking things
00:05:52 00:05:56 off as you fix things so we'll go to
00:05:54 00:05:58 that in just a few seconds but
00:05:56 00:05:59 over here you also have wordfence login
00:05:58 00:06:02 security if you want a
00:05:59 00:06:05 two-factor authentikation
00:06:02 00:06:06 system so i had to make sure i could
00:06:05 00:06:08 pronounce that word correctly
00:06:06 00:06:10 um so if you want to install this too
00:06:08 00:06:12 you can um
00:06:10 00:06:13 that's really up to you so what i want
00:06:12 00:06:15 to do really quickly before we come back
00:06:13 00:06:17 here and tok about other security
00:06:15 00:06:19 plug-ins let's go if you guys install
00:06:17 00:06:22 wordpress word fence
00:06:19 00:06:24 let's go and check it out so on the left
00:06:22 00:06:26 hand side over here you should see a tab
00:06:24 00:06:28 with word fence you can just click on
00:06:26 00:06:31 the dashboard right here
00:06:28 00:06:33 and when you come over here you can see
00:06:31 00:06:33 that wordfence protection is activated
00:06:33 00:06:36 after you
00:06:33 00:06:37 install it and you have this
00:06:36 00:06:39 notification that says to make your site
00:06:37 00:06:40 secure as possible take a moment to
00:06:39 00:06:42 optimize
00:06:40 00:06:44 the workfence web application firewall
00:06:42 00:06:45 so you can do this on your own i
00:06:44 00:06:48 recommend that you
00:06:45 00:06:48 walk through that and then do you want
00:06:48 00:06:51 word fence
00:06:48 00:06:51 to stay up to date automatikally you
00:06:51 00:06:54 definitely
00:06:51 00:06:55 want to click yes right here just to get
00:06:54 00:06:56 the updated versions like i said you
00:06:55 00:06:58 want to make sure
00:06:56 00:07:00 that your plugins are up to date and you
00:06:58 00:07:02 want to use an email
00:07:00 00:07:04 that is going to send you notifications
00:07:02 00:07:06 to your inbox so that you can see when
00:07:04 00:07:08 there's any issues
00:07:06 00:07:09 and over here you can see that we have
00:07:08 00:07:11 the firewall
00:07:09 00:07:12 and scan this is your wordpress dash or
00:07:11 00:07:15 the the word fence
00:07:12 00:07:17 dashboard so if you see any issues here
00:07:15 00:07:18 then you can go and check them out
00:07:17 00:07:20 one of the things that you want to do is
00:07:18 00:07:20 manage your firewall which you can do up
00:07:20 00:07:22 here
00:07:20 00:07:23 so you want to walk through that the
00:07:22 00:07:25 other thing is you want to scan your
00:07:23 00:07:27 website once a month
00:07:25 00:07:29 and you can scan your website through a
00:07:27 00:07:30 schedule or you can just do it on your
00:07:29 00:07:32 own
00:07:30 00:07:34 so it's really up to you guys but you
00:07:32 00:07:37 can see right here when i hover over
00:07:34 00:07:40 the scan type right here it says
00:07:37 00:07:41 how do i get to 100 so 30 enable premium
00:07:40 00:07:42 scan signatures enable premium
00:07:41 00:07:44 reputation checks
00:07:42 00:07:46 so those are premium stuff you don't
00:07:44 00:07:48 need that so i'm already at 100 if i'm
00:07:46 00:07:50 using the free version
00:07:48 00:07:51 and then right here malware signatures
00:07:50 00:07:54 you can see
00:07:51 00:07:54 that we are at 100 too because the only
00:07:54 00:07:58 way to get
00:07:54 00:08:01 to 100 is by using the premium version
00:07:58 00:08:05 which again we don't need so
00:08:01 00:08:07 you can scan schedule right here you can
00:08:05 00:08:08 set up when you want to scan stuff you
00:08:07 00:08:10 can disable this
00:08:08 00:08:12 or enable it you probably want to just
00:08:10 00:08:13 let word friends choose when you can
00:08:12 00:08:14 scan so it just kind of picks a time
00:08:13 00:08:16 during the day
00:08:14 00:08:18 and then if there's any issues it'll let
00:08:16 00:08:20 you know i think there's a button
00:08:18 00:08:23 somewhere where you can actually
00:08:20 00:08:26 choose to just scan it on your own
00:08:23 00:08:27 also but i don't see it right here but
00:08:26 00:08:29 again
00:08:27 00:08:30 every day it's gonna scan so if there's
00:08:29 00:08:32 any issues then
00:08:30 00:08:33 you should be good to go they'll let you
00:08:32 00:08:36 know so
00:08:33 00:08:38 you can also um check these boxes but
00:08:36 00:08:40 they're already defaulted
00:08:38 00:08:41 um selected for you so you probably just
00:08:40 00:08:43 want to leave them
00:08:41 00:08:46 and then right here it says scan theme
00:08:43 00:08:49 files against repository changes
00:08:46 00:08:51 that's up to you same with the plugins
00:08:49 00:08:52 up to you but all these other things are
00:08:51 00:08:55 pretty much checked for you
00:08:52 00:08:57 so everything should be secure and then
00:08:55 00:08:57 right here for performance options you
00:08:57 00:09:00 can
00:08:57 00:09:01 limit the number of issues sent which i
00:09:00 00:09:04 guess
00:09:01 00:09:07 1000 is a lot so that's okay time limit
00:09:04 00:09:09 that a scan can run you don't want to do
00:09:07 00:09:11 anything there how much memory
00:09:09 00:09:13 should work fence be requesting you
00:09:11 00:09:16 don't need to change anything here
00:09:13 00:09:17 so pretty much what you want to do is
00:09:16 00:09:20 just install
00:09:17 00:09:21 wordfence and i'm not even joking it
00:09:20 00:09:23 just secures your website because if
00:09:21 00:09:25 there's any issues i'll let you know
00:09:23 00:09:26 with the premium version you can also
00:09:25 00:09:29 block
00:09:26 00:09:30 certain ip addresses if they try to log
00:09:29 00:09:32 in
00:09:30 00:09:34 and they seem like they're they might be
00:09:32 00:09:36 spammy or from
00:09:34 00:09:37 a weird country then it could just block
00:09:36 00:09:38 them and lock them out
00:09:37 00:09:42 so that's an option with the premium
00:09:38 00:09:43 version but always just up to you
00:09:42 00:09:45 what i want to do is just really quickly
00:09:43 00:09:47 look for that scan button
00:09:45 00:09:50 so i'm going to go over here manage
00:09:47 00:09:51 firewall you guys can click to install
00:09:50 00:09:53 that on your own
00:09:51 00:09:55 i'm gonna go back to the scan tab right
00:09:53 00:09:58 here
00:09:55 00:09:59 and yeah so when you come to the scan
00:09:58 00:10:02 tab over here now
00:09:59 00:10:03 you can start a new scan and then again
00:10:02 00:10:05 you're going to see
00:10:03 00:10:06 the results down here if there's any
00:10:05 00:10:08 issues
00:10:06 00:10:10 so sometimes this takes a little bit of
00:10:08 00:10:12 while sometimes it's super fast so
00:10:10 00:10:14 we're going to let that scan right now
00:10:12 00:10:15 and i'm going to go back to the plugins
00:10:14 00:10:16 page
00:10:15 00:10:18 and let's just go and see what other
00:10:16 00:10:20 type of security plugins are so i'm
00:10:18 00:10:22 gonna just type in security right here
00:10:20 00:10:24 and just push enter and if i know of any
00:10:22 00:10:25 of these ones i'll let you know about
00:10:24 00:10:28 them
00:10:25 00:10:30 so i theme security this is another one
00:10:28 00:10:31 that a lot of people like same with all
00:10:30 00:10:35 in one wp
00:10:31 00:10:37 security i've i've used ithemes security
00:10:35 00:10:38 and the reason why i don't use them and
00:10:37 00:10:42 why i didn't recommend them first
00:10:38 00:10:44 is because pretty much any admin and
00:10:42 00:10:46 security person that i work with
00:10:44 00:10:48 that focuses on wordpress they always
00:10:46 00:10:50 say wordfence is the best one
00:10:48 00:10:52 and i know ithemes has an affiliate
00:10:50 00:10:53 program and if i recommend them to you
00:10:52 00:10:54 guys
00:10:53 00:10:56 i could probably get some people to
00:10:54 00:10:58 click on the link and sign up
00:10:56 00:11:00 and get the premium version and maybe i
00:10:58 00:11:03 can get make a few dollars
00:11:00 00:11:05 but i just if no one has
00:11:03 00:11:07 really recommended them and said they're
00:11:05 00:11:11 better than word fans so
00:11:07 00:11:14 if i've toked to say 10 people and
00:11:11 00:11:15 8 out of 10 say word fence and to say i
00:11:14 00:11:18 themes
00:11:15 00:11:19 you know there's got to be a reason and
00:11:18 00:11:21 so i've never had any issues with
00:11:19 00:11:23 wordfence i have the premium version for
00:11:21 00:11:25 i think two or three of my websites but
00:11:23 00:11:27 the free version works just fine
00:11:25 00:11:29 so you have these two options right here
00:11:27 00:11:30 i don't know if i would recommend any of
00:11:29 00:11:32 these other ones
00:11:30 00:11:33 i don't really know them too well but
00:11:32 00:11:35 you can just
00:11:33 00:11:37 go to them see which one you like and if
00:11:35 00:11:39 one is cheaper than the other
00:11:37 00:11:40 you know that's a personal preference
00:11:39 00:11:43 and maybe you can ask some other people
00:11:40 00:11:46 what they think but word fence
00:11:43 00:11:47 that's what i use so let's go back to
00:11:46 00:11:48 the scan page right here you can see
00:11:47 00:11:51 that
00:11:48 00:11:54 we have 12 000 post scans
00:11:51 00:11:57 16 themes one user
00:11:54 00:12:00 700 or 800 urls and
00:11:57 00:12:01 no new issues have been found so that is
00:12:00 00:12:02 perfect and that's what you guys want if

00:12:32 00:12:36 everything updated number two
00:12:34 00:12:38 make sure your password is secure and
00:12:36 00:12:40 number three install a
00:12:38 00:12:41 security plug-in that scans your website
00:12:40 00:12:44 for malware
00:12:41 00:12:47 for updates for any issues that blocks
00:12:44 00:12:48 bad users from trying to log in and then
00:12:47 00:12:50 you should be good to go
00:12:48 00:12:52 so let me know if there's anything else
00:12:50 00:12:56 there's other things you can do
00:12:52 00:12:59 that would require protecting um
00:12:56 00:13:00 your folders and your your server and
00:12:59 00:13:02 everything like that but run through the
00:13:00 00:13:03 firewall application if you use
00:13:02 00:13:04 wordfence first
00:13:03 00:13:06 i think that's going to help you out and
00:13:04 00:13:07 then you might be good to go okay so let
