Protect the WordPress Admin Area with htpasswd
I receive an awesome WordPress security question from Shannelle: Ashley! You’ve mentioned that you got to do a login page to access the real login page, and I was wondering, how did you do that? I’m being bothered by so many emails about people trying […]
Seriously, Update WordPress

Burning Blue by Paul Griffin
