Protecting the WP-Config File

In a previous post I stated that the wp-config file is one of the most important files in the WordPress file system.  So far we have made some modifications to this file to make the blog setup more secure but now we need to secure the file itself.

In the following video I explain how to use the .htaccess file to prevent anyone from gaining access to your wp-config file.

Below is the code you need to add to the .htaccess file.  Do Not Copy and Paste this code but type it in manually in the format you see below.

If you have any questions about WP security or WP in general don’t  hesitate to ask The Blog Builder Guy.
