Pro tip: Wordpress security

Place a .htaccess in your wp-admin directory that only allows your IP to access it.

Code:

AuthUserFile /dev/null

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

AuthName "Example Access Control"

AuthType Basic

<LIMIT GET>

order deny,allow

deny from all

allow from your.ip.address.here

</LIMIT>

great idea...if your IP changes you lock yourself out...be sure you have root and shell access if you do this so you can reset the ip

FTP access to the domain is all you need to change the htaccess. :thumbsup

Lock down all your WP installs with chmod to avoid any form of malware injects
