Protecting your wp-admin via htaccess

Jace · 11-15-2006

because of all the exploits and hackers that exist I made it a habit long ago to protect my wp admin by htaccess limiting acces to my ip only

anyone else do this?

If you need the code let me know

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 12.34.56.78

---------------------
12.34.56.78 being your ip address

just drop that in the wp-admin directory, and only the person with that ip address can get in there.....you have to change it every time your ip changes, but worth the hassle
