The prompts
Prompt 1
I need a comprehensive security audit for my WordPress website. It's an e-commerce site built using WooCommerce, Elementor, and a few marketing plugins. Our hosting is with SiteGround. Please provide a detailed list of potential vulnerabilities, focusing on common plugin exploits, database security, user access controls, and file integrity. Include specific recommendations for hardening the site against attacks. Consider the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities. I need steps for improving security and maintaining a secure WordPress website. Provide actionable advice with examples.
Prompt 2
Assume you are a WordPress security expert. My WordPress site is a blog about travel destinations. I use Yoast SEO, Akismet, and a caching plugin. We use shared hosting. Generate a security audit report, covering potential risks from outdated plugins, weak passwords, SQL injection vulnerabilities, and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Focus on actionable steps I can take to immediately improve the site's security, such as enabling two-factor authentication, implementing a web application firewall (WAF), and regularly backing up my database and files. I want to improve login security with plugins, htaccess, and server settings.
