Thanks Paula. That post was very helpful and I’ll be making the changes I feel competent in.

Thanks also for visiting my blog and helping me remove my coffee cup and soggy biscuit. I’ll get onto that tonight.

I love your writing style. I’ll be following you from now on.

Best Wishes
Joe

Hi Jace, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I suppose you could just delete it, but I’m lazy, lol.

That means that every time you up-date your WP version you would need to go in and delete it each time.

With the plugin in, well….. it does it automatically so you don’t have to keep faffing around.

Hi Paula, thanks for the post. Quick question, Matt Cutts suggests just deleting the whole line regarding the wordpress version. Why not just do that as opposed to running that additional plugin? Thanks again!

Yes, thanks, Mark – he did pass it on but I haven’t had a quiet moment to take a look at it yet

Well said P!

I hope you got that message I asked Dan to forward to you! Your support desk wasn’t working for me earlier, or I was doing something wrong, but looks fine now! HEHE

Thanks

Guys and gals, thank you for taking the time to comment.

Those couple of suggestions above are only a few of the things you can do. No site is totally hack proof. If hackers wish to attack your site and they are determined enough, they will manage it. It’s just best to be vigilant and not make things easy

Hi Paula,great advice!
I used to dread upgrading to the latest WordPress version or upgrading plug-ins. I then accidently discovered the Automatic Upgrade plug-in that takes care of the tedious task. Now I don’t have any hesitation in upgrading any of my plug-ins!
As for security, I haven’t got a clue! I have tried the ‘hacks’ that you mention in your blog post and can’t access anything,so I must be ok!
