In your FTP, chmod all files 644 and directories 755. Once I did that, I have not been hacked.
Thank you,
But I am very ‘debutant’ and do not understand chmod all files 644 and directories 755
Do you mean I use the editor in WP or do I use a text editor to
write on certain files.
Please explain a little more?
thank you

Hey Kimbert,
I suggest installing All in one security & firewall plugin: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/
This should help you harden WordPress in a much easier and faster way.

Thank you Mayank for this information. I have looked at that plug in and will consider it. It seems to do what I am looking for.
I think I would like to try the files and directories via my ftp.
Hotwebideas, I am doing this in French and now have access to my FTP.
Now I can only see files (fichiers) on my FTP.
Where are the directories?
thank you
Kathleen
Hey Kathleen,
If you’re hardening – you really should use that plugin 🙂
CHMOD is a very small section of hardening WordPress and I believe this plugin will give you a lot more security points to fix that you may not have thought of otherwise.
And to answer your FTP question:
well, the directories are wp-includes, wp-content, wp-admin etc..
Regards,
Mayank
