WordPress
You install WordPress with one click via the WordPress Toolkit in Plesk β no manual database or files needed.
Maintenance
- Keep WordPress core, theme and plugins up to date β the WordPress Toolkit can do this automatically.
- Always make a backup before a major update (via Backup Manager or the WordPress Toolkit itself).
- Remove plugins and themes you don't use β even inactive plugins are a security risk.
Basic security
- Use a strong, unique password for the
wp-adminaccount β never the username "admin". - Limit login attempts with a security plugin (e.g. limit login attempts).
- Enable two-factor authentication where possible.
