In this video we'll be using Wordfence to completely secure your WordPress website step by step. Let me show you what we'll be covering in this tutorial. I'll show you how to configure all the options in Wordfence. How to force strong passwords for all users. How to set up two-factor authentication, how to use reCaptcha to prevent bot logins. We will configure brute force protection for your website and we will make sure you won't get spammed with email alerts from Wordfence. Let's dive in right now.
Log in to your WordPress dashboard. From here we go to 'Plugins'
we press 'Add new' plugin. We're going to search for the plugin Wordfence over there. And we're looking for this one, by Wordfence. Press 'Install now'. and we press 'Activate'. The first thing we need to do is get a Wordfence license. It's completely free but we still have to register with Wordfence. Click on this button, and then we are at the Wordfence website. Click on this button, get a free license. Then we press I'm okay waiting 30 days. Fill in your email address and then choose if you would like to receive these emails. I would say no, because they're not that interesting. Agree to the terms and press register. And we have received a email from Wordfence with our license. Over here is the license key which you can also click install my license automatically. When you click on the button it will go over here back to your website. Your email address has been filled in and also the license key. Press install license. Well done. Now we click on go to dashboard. And press on this cross icon over here. I will teach you everything about Wordfence in this tutorial. Don't worry we'll be working through all these settings over here and I'll explain everything how it works and what you need to know. So the very first thing we do is we scroll up to here and then we're gonna click on dismiss. Because we're gonna configure this later on. And then Wordfence ask do you want to say it up to date automatically? if you don't update your website regularly I really urge you to press yes enable auto updates. This way the plugin will stay safe and you won't get hacked. So press on yes enable auto updates. Let's walk through all these options step by step. The first thing we do is we go over here to the firewall. Let's press this cross icon over there. Wordfence has a learning mode where it distinguish real visitors from hackers and Bots, but it also learns from your plugins and how your plugins are connected to the outside world. For example if you have a web shop you might be connected to different things like your accountancy and all these things will be passed through the firewall without any problems. So this learning mode is only active for just one week. Now if you run into problems in the future, you can always enable the learning mode again, so that it can learn again from maybe new settings or maybe new plugins or whatever. If we scroll down you can see all bunch of real important information. The most important thing on this page is the blocking over here. If you're logged out of someone who need to visit your website his IP address will show up over here. And then you can unblock an IP address or make it for example permanent. Let's go back to firewall let's configure all the firewall options over here. And if you scroll down we can change all the options one by one. The first thing we need to do is change the protection level from basic WordPress protection to a optimized version. So click on optimize the WordPress firewall and then Wordfence has presented the best...

[@CrossQuestionsDeutsch]

Hi Doctor, wordfence or itheme security? What is your suggestion to use?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Probably iThemes, because of the hide backend feature 👍🏻😀

[@paulinezipagan2136]

bro, it fucked up my elementor with an error saying: Server Error (403 Forbidden). please make a video solving this problem.

[@christhjian9923]

I have to say it again - you have a real talent in teaching these things. There are great channels with more followers, but you are a top tier video maker as well. I have a question as well: why should one get Wordfence Premium? What are the benefits and for who is it aimed at?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Kristjan! Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Also thanks for being a subscriber. Well the thing they are most proud of is the -not-have-to-wait-30-days-for-new-malware-recognition.... but I think thats not a big enough reason to buy the Pro version 😄 So sorry, I have not a good answer for this!

[@nasirulalam9099]

[@kolan_es]

Thanks Matt! This is a brilliant tutorial for a complete newbie as me! I've just completed my first WP-website and as the icing on the cake I finished with installing and setting up WordFence - following your tutorial. I'll probably go live in a week.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Kenneth! Thanks for letting me know! Really appreciate your kind words. Ik glad I could be of help to you. Awesome that you are going live! What kind of website is it?

[@kolan_es]

@@WPressDoctor At the moment it's mostly information to my future customers with the possibility to send me documents via a form. In the future I will be adding login functionality for third-party companies/organizations with whom I have established cooperation. I will be acting as a broker of specific services within the EU.

[@WPressDoctor]

Nice! Sounds good. Using Gravity Forms?

[@kolan_es]

@@WPressDoctor No, I'm using WPForms. I was a complete newbie when I started building my site. I started with a lot simpler tool from my hosting provider, but that turned out to be too limiting for what I needed so I went with the other option the hosting company provided; WordPress. I found another youtuber with a very comprehensive tutorial for how to set up a WP-site from scratch and he recommended WPForms along with some other plug-ins. As I slowly get some experience I might be changing different plugins to suit my needs better, but this is my starting point as for now.

I use Wordfence for my blogs and I use Ithemes for online shops. My latest blog is in the pet niche all about pet accessories. This is an unplanned project where I’m testing if I could manage my own VPS or not. 😂 So far everything is going well and Plesk is easier than I originally thought it was. Plus, it’s got a massive online community so you can find an answer to any problems you may have.

Thank you Matt, you are my 1000% goto guy...Amazing, ha you've even knocked Ferdy of my top shelf with ease, (Gulp I desperately whisper, he he he ). I would like to know of any good, (Needles to say, safe), "Free booking or appointment plugin that actually works" of course with your guidance of course, so saving me my pennies please.

Hi Marc! Haha thanks for the compliment 😀👍🏻 really means a lot to me. I have added that ti my list! Great idea! Have a great day and stay safe 😃

[@leekemp697]

Hey Matt, I've watched many of your videos and they are all very well produced and helpful. (y) I was wondering if you have a preference between Wordfence vs iThemes?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Lee! Thanks for your kind words, really appreciate it! I try to get better with each video 😊. On new websites I always use iThemes! On hacked sites I clean it with WordFence but after that I often use iThemes again. 💪🏻 hope that helps!

Hi Matt, That was a Great video. I wanted to ask you 2 question: 1. When you start a New website, do you recommend installing Wordfence right away OR only after you've installed all the other plugins and content? 2. Can you please make a video on how to Best Setup Wordfence when using the Pro version (meaning the paid one 499$)? Thank you and please keep up with your great videos

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi James! 1) I recommend installing Wordfence first and start creating everything. Better to be safe than sorry 😊 2) Sure I can do that in the future, I'll add it to my list.

Hey WPressDoctor, I configured Wordfence exactly as you did. However, when a subscriber wants to login to my website, he/she receives a verification link in the email address used in creating the account. The subscriber then has to login through that verification link. I don't want that. How do I turn that off please?

[@WPressDoctor]

That’s a good question. There is indeed a setting for that. I’m on the road right now so I cannot check it out easily but I know it’s somewhere 😀 I’ll get back to you.

[@mbulleluciano9227]

Okay, I am waiting. Thank you!

I love Wordfence, but I hate the fact that they purposefully do not offer the option to change the login URL. This is a deal breaker for me, so I will follow your other video when I'm securing my Woocommerce store. I'm using SG Security at the moment, but I'm leaving them in two months. So Ithemes will take their place. One thing I didn't like about Ithemes was the lack of a scan feature, but your video has done the trick, it seems, and we now have the scanning feature.🙌

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Al! Yeah it seems so! I haven't looked into the SG security plugin yet. It should work but well... IDK yet. Where are you going to host then?

[@Alex-hn3lc]

@@WPressDoctor --- The SG security plugin offers all the basic security features like 2-FA, allows you to change the admin URL, allows you to disable XML-RPC, allows you to disable the themes and plugin editor, and allows you to limit the login page to your own IP and limit login attempts. It has most features for basic security, but it's missing a scanning feature and a few other features. I'm moving the store to WPX, which is a highly-rated hosting provider with excellent customer service. They offer some unique free perks like free malware removal, speed optimization, and many more. The main factor for me is speed, and WPX is well ahead of SG. SG is decent, but their service is on the decline in terms of speed.

Não mencione isso! Fico feliz que tenha tirado algo do vídeo. um dav muito bom!

[@94piN]

Thanks for the video! Do you perfer this over iThemes security? Keep up the great work!

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Elísio! Thank you for your question. Well the biggest difference between them is the Hiding Backend feature of iThemes that I really like and the Malware scan of WordFence is excellent… I prefer iThemes also because of the clean interface 😀👍🏻 But it totally depends on personal preference. It’s like windows vs Mac I think 🤔
