    I am running a WP installation on a shared hosting account. I already have ZBBlock install to protect the site. However, I am concerned about people trying to insert malware through media upload, etc which is possible with Quick Post Widget.

    I am thus wondering what setting to use to protect my site from potential attacks. Should I disable all or some of the following setting within Quick Post Widget?

    Visual Editor
    Editor Plugin
    Media Upload

    Should I also disable auto-embeds within WP to fully protect my site?

    Looking forward to your input

    I got the plugin to work but was still wondering if disabling media upload sufficient to prevent the insertion of malicious code through posts?
