• How to Secure Your Web...
IMPORTANT: This plugin will ONLY WORK if you have already bought an SSL certificate through your hosting provider. If you have issues with this plugin be sure to first check that you have an SSL certificate, and if issues still persist you might consider contacting your hosting provider as they regularly make updates that can affect these plugins.
The internet is a BIG place, and there are plenty of bad guys lurking in the shadows waiting to steal your personal information. So today I'm going to show you How to Secure Your Website From Hackers! And it can be done in LESS than 1 MINUTE with the iThemes Security plugin!
I'll also show you how to scan your website for Malware anytime you need, as well as how to add a secure padlock (SSL Certificate) to your site's URL so visitors know it it's safe.
But first, WHY do hackers hack websites?
1. To obtain credit card information.
2. To obtain contact info to sell to unethical marketers.
3. To obtain usernames and passwords to gain control of your server resources.
4. Malvertising (sending spam to your website visitors and subscribers)
5. SEO Spam (using your site's authority to promote fake information on google)
6. Other classified info you may have.
So to keep that from happening, just follow the tutorial to keep your website SAFE and SECURE!

Hi Dale, great video. Will the plug in still function if I have the SSL certificate through a third-party website like Cloudflare or Let's Encrypt instead of my hosting provider?
Awesome! Free, easy to do, and easy to understand! Nice work!
thanks for such a great video detailing all the features, one feature I was waiting for you to mention though was enabling SSL; does iTheme not have that available? And if so can you please explain how to enable it, please? Thank you in advance.
Good job,
it's very easy
Thank you

What do you do if your website gets hacked or have malware? Will it get rid of it or do you have to install a different plug in? Thank you for this video!

Glad you liked it!
Thanks for all, this plugin is very necessary in our website.
Thank you soooooo much for all of your easy-to-follow tutorials!!! Keep them coming, please!
Exactly same to me. What an as@@@le
This Plugin only let you know the network brute force attack in progress or someone tried to at access your website.. but that didn't prevent anykind of hacking activity.. can you make a video about how to Defend Malware and brute Force Attack On Website? Thanks
Did you figure this out? I would like to know as well...
@@BIGPUN4EVER No I did not yet.
@@FahimEdits2 watch this video, this guy goes a bit more in depth and talks about brute Force: ua-cam.com/video/EY7iezguJDc/v-deo.html
This stuff cant be done for free, if you have a website that has any type of secure information (like an ecommerce site) you will need to buy site security, this costs like 180 - 300 $ .. I am trying to figure out if there is a cheaper way todo this or not, but its not looking like it.
IThemes Security only protect you mostly from login attacks. The best protection is Malcare or Webarx. I prefer Malcare because they can clean your hacked website immediately. I was hacked twice with IThemes and I have to clean it manually. Good luck 👍. The absurd thing that you’ll never know when are you hacked 😞😞. Watch this ua-cam.com/video/kK-GoDKDRuc/v-deo.html
Thank you so much. This piece is highly helpful.

you're like family to my web development career . Here is my question, how do i copyright my WordPress site content?
Thank you, very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Old(er) video but still good, thanks!
Thanks And Love you brother 💞💞
Most welcome
This was awesome. I didn't have the malware scan thing though...
thanks a lot . now my website is really safe before i go and sell items
Really cool stuff!
If I use host gator like you recommended in the other video, would I still be able to do this ?
Great video.
What are your thoughts on Wordfence for security?
I gave you high praise after seeing this. Then I followed the directions. I got locked out. The techniques I tried to get access back after seeing different videos didn't work.
A reset of password from the control panel just went into loops.I had to redo my website. I developed a fool proof way to save info beforehand.
Regular restore can't work since I couldn't get in. I don't blame you. I see that it has worked for some. But I see a number of others got locked out also.
You should look into, or put a warning, or just take this video down. It's a time bomb.
I still like the way you teach though.
This is just the exact experience I had. Now am logged out and can even log back into my dashboard. Its a huge loss for me cause I don't see the possibility of designing a new website with same domain name
@@jstylus2895 As a last resort only if you can't make something else work. Copy and paste your pages of your website.
From C Panel delete your wordpress installation. Create another blank website. Paste the pages back in. It will save some time and your domain.
Before installing this Ithemes, install All In One Wordpress Migration Plugin. Make a copy of your website with this. Save to file.
Before installing Ithemes plugin create a very strong password so the same loop doesn't happen.
If the same trouble happens, or something similar, you have a duplicate copy of your website that you can reinstall.
Backups can't work if you can't get into your website, as far as I know. I've used and tested All In One. It works well.
I just have to install a blank wordpress. Then install All In One. Then import the copy.
Within 10 minutes I can create another wordpress site, then install the copy, and have my site working again.
I hope this helps. Don't be mad at me if you find a better solution afterwards. But this is what I did to recover my site.
@@focustoheal thanks. I'll try it out.
Thanks sir for valuable information 😊
Most welcome
Great video 👍 but would have been nice to see what extras upgrading to the pro version gives you.

Thank you for this video. It was useful. informative and pedagogical.
However, there's been a few updates in the user interface since you recorded this video. The principles are still valid, but buttons and some other details do not correspond to your screen casts.
