Are my security plugins a good combination?

    Hi there, hope I’m posting this in the correct thread.

    A client of mine has recently been hacked and I have noticed people trying to brute force their way into some of my sites. I think I went a bit security happy and am now running multiple security plugins (which I feel have different purposes) on my sites. Although I haven’t yet experienced any conflicts between them, I would like to get some opinions.

    I am using the following:

    – Better WP security
    – BBQ: Block Bad Queries
    – WordPress firewall 2
    – Wordfence (I feel this my not be required as better wp security but there are some features of the plugin I enjoy to use)
    – Bulletproof Security

    And that’s the lot. Am I in over my head just throwing all these security plugins together or do you rate they may compliment each other? Any suggestions for other security plugins or changes in the combination? 🙂

    That is what I do, and I have Wordfence and Bulletproof. Where one admin might say “Too many”, another might say “Too few”. So, I do what I can to “harden WordPress”, then try to have “Just enough” add-ons (plugins) to cover the actual activity I see going on.
