Yeah I have read through all of the sites you suggested, and did everything that I understood… We are changing our Host to DreamHost so i am hoping that will solve the problem… but do you think the template is safe to use?
I really can’t say – themes that are included in the repository on this site ARE carefully tested and SHOULD be secure, but hacks can happen in a lot of ways. Where was your site hosted? Are (and were) you using the most current version of WP and the theme (looks like there is a recent update)?
And when you say, everything you understood, were there big things you left out or didn’t do?
I was hosting at webhostingpad.com and currently I still am, but I am in the process of trying to figure out how to switch it over, which I am hoping to resolve today.
I was updating the site with all of the updates for plugins and the theme and I think for wordpress in general whenever an update would appear in my dashboard. Should I be managing that differently.
the security measures that I took 3 times were deleting the entire installation and then restarting from scratch… changing the security keys and changing all of my passwords… I also got a plugin to check for theme problems and it said that infoway was fine… the only other plugin that I was using was a facebook like box plugin, and I also am utilizing google docs for people to apply for job positions online. I turned off all of the posting options on all of the pages because we didn’t need them….
does it sound like I am missing something big in security? I am very new to all of this…
