<div class="grey_box_content">
 The current theme does not natively support menus, but you can use the “Custom Menu” widget to add any menus you create here to the theme’s sidebar. 
</div>
</div>
<p><span id="more-188"></span></p>
<p>Some WordPress themes doesn&#8217;t natively support Menus which has been added in WordPress 3.</p>
<p>to solve this problem you have to add this code to your Theme <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">functions.php</span></strong> file first</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>[code]add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );<br />
function register_my_menus() {<br />
register_nav_menus(<br />
array(<br />
'header' =&gt; __( 'Header Menu' ),<br />
'footer' =&gt; __( 'Footer Menu )<br />
)<br />
);<br />
}[/code]</p>
<p>the next step is to call the menu ,</p>
<p>place this code in your <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">header.php</span></strong> file where you want the menu to appear</p>
<p>[code]&lt;?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' =&gt; 'header' ) ); ?&gt;[/code]</p>
<p>and the same goes for the footer menu, place this code in your <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">footer.php</span></strong> file where you want the menu to appear</p>
<p>[code]&lt;?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' =&gt; 'footer' ) ); ?&gt;[/code]</p>
<p>after completing the steps, your theme will support WordPress Menus</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since a lot of WordPress sites got hacked in the last months, i wrote some tips, and collected some from other blogs on how to secure your WordPress from getting hacked.</p>
<p><span id="more-43"></span></p>
<h3><strong>keep your WordPress and the plugins up to date</strong></h3>
<p>you must<strong> keep your WordPress and the plug-ins up to date</strong>, because mostly it will prevent the bad guys from using known vulnerabilities to hack your site</p>
<p>there is a great plugin that automatically upgrade the WordPress installation to the latest one provided by WordPress.org u can find it <a title="auto upgrade" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/">here</a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Always check</strong> <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/feed/">WordPress Development Blog</a> for the latest security issues.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Use a strong password</strong></h3>
<p>check this <a title="password meter" href="http://www.passwordmeter.com/">meter </a>out</p>
<h3><strong>Use a different prefix</strong></h3>
<p>for your WordPress Database tables to mitigate zero-day SQL Injection attacks.</p>
<h3><strong>Disable directory browsing</strong></h3>
<p>attackers will know what u have on your site [plugins, etc] , so just write this to your .htaccess file</p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Always backup your files before modifying or editing them!</span></h4>
<p>[php] Options All -Indexes [/php]</p>
<h3>Prevent Search Engines from indexing your sub-folders</h3>
<p>Also <strong>write this code</strong> to your <a title="robots.txt" href="http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html">robots.txt</a> file to prevent bots from indexing your sub-folders contents</p>
<p>[php]User-agent: *<br />
Disallow: /cgi-bin<br />
Disallow: /wp-*<br />
[/php]</p>
<h3><strong>Protect your wp-config.php file</strong></h3>
<p>wp-config.php file contains all your database login information, it should be protected well, this code will prevent anyone from looking at it, write it to your .htaccess file</p>
<p>[php]# protect wpconfig.php<br />
&lt;files wp-config.php&gt;<br />
order allow,deny<br />
deny from all<br />
&lt;/files&gt;<br />
[/php]</p>
<p>or u can just move it, the wordpress has the ability to check for <strong>wp-config.php</strong> in your root directory,<br />
which will make it harder to find or access your <strong>wp-config.ph</strong>p file<br />
So you can change the location of your <strong>wp-config.php</strong> file from</p>
<div class="grey_box" style="width:229px;">
<div class="grey_box_content">
<span style="color: #000000;"> /public_html/wordpress/wp-config.php </span>
</div>
</div>
<p>To</p>
<div class="grey_box" style="width:229px;">
<div class="grey_box_content">
<span style="color: #000000;">/public_html/wp-config.php</span> 
</div>
</div>
<h3>Limit login attempts</h3>
<p><strong> </strong>Sometimes the hacker might think they know your password, or they might develop a script to<a href="http://d3mha.com/wp-content/uploads/loginlockdown.gif"><img class="size-medium wp-image-54 alignright" title="loginlockdown" src="http://d3mha.com/wp-content/uploads/loginlockdown-300x168.gif" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a> guess your password. In that case what you need to do is limit the login attempts. You can easily do so by using a plugin called <a href="http://www.bad-neighborhood.com/login-lockdown.html" target="_blank">Login Lockdown</a></p>
<p>which will lock a user out if they entered the wrong password more than the specified time. They will be locked out for a specified time. You can control the settings via your wp-admin panel.</p>
<h3><strong>Limit the access to the admin panel</strong></h3>
<p>if you have a static IP address this will be helpful, with this code you will be the only one who can access the admin area , write this to the .htaccess in your wp-admin folder,</p>
<p>[php]Order Deny,Allow<br />
Deny from all<br />
Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</p>
<p>[/php]</p>
<p>replace the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your IP address</p>
<h3><strong>Use secret-key</strong></h3>
<p>security keys, <strong>AUTH_KEY</strong>, <strong>SECURE_AUTH_KEY</strong>, and <strong>LOGGED_IN_KEY</strong>, were added to insure better encryption of information stored in the user&#8217;s cookies. A secret key is a hashing salt which makes your site harder to hack and access harder to crack by adding random elements to the password, In simple terms, a secret key is a password with elements that make it harder to generate enough options to break through your security barriers. A password like &#8220;password&#8221; or &#8220;test&#8221; is simple and easily broken. A random, unpredictable password such as &#8220;88a7da62429ba6ad3cb3c76a09641fc&#8221; takes years to come up with the right combination.To add security keys, open your <span style="color: #ffffff;"><strong>wp-config.php</strong></span><br />
Visit this URL to get Security Keys: <a title="get ur secret keys here" href="https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/">click here</a> [<span style="color: #808080;">random keys &lt;-</span>]<br />
Find these lines in <span style="color: #ffffff;"><strong>wp-config.php</strong></span><br />
[php]<br />
define(&#8216;AUTH_KEY&#8217;, &#8216;put your unique phrase here&#8217;);<br />
define(&#8216;SECURE_AUTH_KEY&#8217;, &#8216;put your unique phrase here&#8217;);<br />
define(&#8216;LOGGED_IN_KEY&#8217;, &#8216;put your unique phrase here&#8217;);<br />
define(&#8216;NONCE_KEY&#8217;, &#8216;put your unique phrase here&#8217;);<br />
[/php]</p>
<p>And insert the keys you from the <a title="generator" href="http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/">generator</a>, ex:</p>
<p>[php]<br />
define(&#8216;AUTH_KEY&#8217;, &#8216;GJ&#8211;Vxy|sNmv8J4XS-o]={]O90_kK%ns,hsZ*hMpq+)y?aZc$,[s`I{Qh-?P22kd');<br />
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '&amp;#+Rlm?xb?1]#w-v|W||H[!_ev@KMrP');<br />
[/php]</p>
<h3><strong>WordPress Anti-virus Protection</strong></h3>

*/<br />
global $user_ID; if($user_ID) {<br />
if(!current_user_can(&#8216;level_10&#8242;)) {<br />
if (strlen($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) &gt; 255 ||<br />
stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], &#8220;eval(&#8220;) ||<br />
stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], &#8220;CONCAT&#8221;) ||<br />
stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], &#8220;UNION+SELECT&#8221;) ||<br />
stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], &#8220;base64&#8243;)) {<br />
@header(&#8220;HTTP/1.1 414 Request-URI Too Long&#8221;);<br />
@header(&#8220;Status: 414 Request-URI Too Long&#8221;);<br />
@header(&#8220;Connection: Close&#8221;);<br />
@exit;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
} ?&gt;[/php]</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><strong>Remove or Disable non used plugins</strong></strong></h3>
<p><strong><strong> </strong> </strong>You<strong> </strong>would have tried lot of them for checking the functionality, but you would not have disabled or removed them. Remove all the non used plugins. Hackers can find a way exploit to them, even if you are not using them.</p>
<h3><strong>Backup</strong></h3>
<p>Always keep back up of your blog&#8217;s files and database, backup the blog contents to your system regularly. Taking manual backups are tedious tasks. So I recommend using <a title="Download WP Database Backup" href="http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup/" target="_blank">WP Database Backup</a>. Even if your database is compromised, you can restore it with the help of this plugin.</p>
<h3><a href="http://bit51.com/software/better-wp-security/"><strong>Better WP Security</strong></a></h3>
<p>This plugin is an effort to combine some of the best security features from numerous projects into a single easier to manage plugin. Better WP Security Provides numerous options to increase the security of your WordPress installation.</p>
