All In One WP Security And Firewall Plugin

WordPress is still one of the most popular CMS platforms in 2017. This also means that more hackers are going to try and break into your site. Lucky for you All In One Security (AIOS) is here to protect your site. It has been designed and developed to protect your site from hackers and more.

All In One Security (AIOS) plugin is designed to help those who don’t have any knowledge of security and have no idea how to protect their site using a security plugin. For that reason the developers have added instructions and or information next to each option in the plugin settings. This allows you to read and understand more about each feature before you decide to enable that feature.

Note: These tutorials are based on version 5.2.4 and below. I will be updating any tutorial if changes have been made in the latest version.

All In One Security version 5.2.9 Changelog.

  • FIX: Remove call to wp_timezone() which is only available in WP 5.3+

 What you need:

========================================

WP Security Admin Menu

When you log into your WordPress admin panel, click on WP Security found on your left hand sidebar. You will see an admin menu as illustrated in the image below.

The following list of tutorials provides information about each admin tab. It also shows you how to set up each feature in admin. Some tabs have a number of total points you can gain if you enabled all features with a number value assigned to them. This number is added to the Dashboard Security Strength Meter after you have completed enabling your settings and saved them. The total achievable count in the meter is 545 points. However you will not reach this maximum amount because in some settings you can’t enable all features.
