    I suffered a malware attack which got my site banned on Goggle. The issue has been resolved and the malware has been removed, but I am now real serious about web site security.

    I have already installed BulletProof Security (I saw it first).

    Does that progrmam do the same things as Better WP Security or do they serve the same functions?

    Are they both compatible or should I pick one of the two instead of perhaps being overly cautious and installing both of them on the same site?

    Thanks much.

    Last time I used BulletProof Better WP Security did most of the same functions with .htaccess blocking and a whole lot things Bulletproof didn’t.

    That said, I have heard some folks have seen incompatibilities but I cannot confirm anything with 100% certainty.

    Do you know how your site was compromised? If it was at the application level, meaning through WordPress itself, then your best bet will be to turn on as much as you can and test it yourself. If it was through your host however all the security plugins for WordPress currently on the market probably won’t help you.

    Only you know what works best with your configuration and what might provide extra security for someone else might bring your site to a screeching halt. This is just the nature of the game. The idea is to lock down everything you don’t need and allow only what you do need. The trick is everyone’s sites have different needs.

    I hope this helps a little bit and I’ll be happy to answer any specific questions you have on the plugin.
