How secure is your wordpress blog site?

by Rich Kid on March 22, 2008

Hello fellow IMNers,

If you have a wordpress site can you tell me how secure your site is? See, you if you don’t upgrade your wordpress site when necessary then I can confirm it to you that your site is not secure at all.

About 46days ago wordpress.com releases version 2.3.3 but its alarming to know that most of us are still on version 2.3.2. some are even on 2.2.2 this is bad. It is bad because wordpress is even about to release version 2.5.

upgrade warning

You have probably been seeing the warning sign ‘Please update now’ and don’t know what to do with it. Some are afraid of what will happen to their site if they click on the update link.

You don’t have to worry.

Note: Make sure you don’t upgrade immediately their is a new version of wordpress installation because you will have to download the files yourself and upload it. You may make mistake doing that.

Here is what I will advice you to do. Wait until fantastico update the wordpress installation to the latest version. You will know this when you login to your cpanel, click on fantastico and then click on wordpress you will see something likeĀ  this:

upgrade page

When fantastico have upgrade available this way it is a lot easier to upgrade. Just click on that link. It will take you to this page:

wordpress updage

click on the link.

upgrade page

That is it. Simple.

You can do this now before wordpress finally release 2.5 to the public.

Wordpress 2.7 Beta is Out. I currently use 2.6.3 On my Blog http://247coolprofits.com. I agree with Rich Kid that Wordpress is Good for Adsense. Also for Affiliate Programs like Clickbank and many more money makers.

@ solomon

Are you talking about wordpress.com? Thats is so limited. Get a Domain name and Install the Wordpress Software in your Fantastico. Then what you should worry about is tweaking widgets and installing plugins and editing the templates in php and so on and so on……….
