The most possible Risk factors faced by Wordpress Developers


WordPress CMS is loaded with some risk factors. Concentrating on some factors can minimize probabilities of risk and offers you the flawless web performance.


A popular CMS in the developers community Widely optimized blogging platform that offers a range of fantastic features A daily interaction with Wordpress web apps is the reason why we came to know about some security dangers of the platform


Developers have to be alert as there are chances of attacks, URL hacking, etc. To lower the security risks developers must have to take care of some factors.


Software updates:

WordPress developers must develop each site by keeping Wordpress coding standards in mind. If the site goes down with the update, then it must not be compatible with the upgraded version.


Access control: There are possibilities of brute force attacks on login page wpadmin or wp-login.php. WordPress developers must try Google Authenticator plug-ins. Don't forget to limit login attempts.


Bugs in WordPress Plugin:

When developer use badly written or intentionally malicious plug-ins that create many problems.


Passwords: Experts suggest to add the long pass-phrases in the passwords. You can optimize the tool like LastPass, which stores your password secretly. The tool does heavy lifting & changes a password completely that even you don't know. This reduces possibilities of hacking completely.


Remove unused stuff: When the sites are deployed, then it is necessary to remove disabled themes/plugins. In the shared servers, root account owners upload multiple sites.


A quick close: There are many security vectors in CMS. But, as the WordPress is most popular CMS and easy to implement, we can't stop using it. At some cost, we can minimize risk factors. Keep the updated version of technology. Have the long passwords those can not be guessed easily. Only integrate solid plug-ins without any vulnerability.
