WordPress recommends certain best practices to secure your websites. WPRemote allows users to implement those practices through its Site Hardening feature. There are three types of Site Hardening tools available: Essentials, Advance and Paranoid. Here’s how you can implement those:


Step 1: Log into the WPRemote account and select a website.



Step 2: On the next page, click on Details option underneath the Security section.




Step 3: On the next page, you should see an Apply Hardening option under the Status Updates section. Click on Apply Hardening. 



From this page, you can start applying site hardening on your website.


There are 3 levels of Site Hardening: Essentials, Advanced, and Paranoid.




  • Under the Essential option, you can:

    • Block PHP Execution in Untrusted Folders

    • Disable File Editors



  • Under the Advanced option, you can:

    • Block Plugin/Theme Installation



  • Under the Paranoid option, you can:

Here's how you can implement any of the measures. 


Step 3: Select the measure you want to implement. 

Step 4: Enter FTP Credentials of your web host. Remember to select SFTP in the FTP Type. 




Step 5: To find out your FTP credentials, see the questions and answers on the right side of the screen. 




Step 5: Following that, you will need to Select Folder with WP Installation. And then select Apply Fix.



  • And that’s it. The feature that you have selected will be applied to harden your site.
