What this course is not:

I do not cover in-depth coding practices to make changes to your WordPress site.This course is designed for beginners who are not well versed in changes to code.Many code changes can be accomplished via plugins and thus an experienced coder may see some of this course as basic and rudimentary.However, ignoring the basics is what will get you hacked….PERIOD!

I will not “look at your site” and “tell you what’s wrong”. Future courses will provide you an instruction on how you can DIY the security for your WordPress website.If you desire a service to provide security for your site, I can offer up recommendations (to include myself).

I will not teach you anything that breaks Udemy’s terms, rules, conditions, etc, whether they are written or implied.

This course is not backed or produced by Udemy - it's all my own work ... but the excellent Udemy staff are there to help you, too, of course!

But, if you want my personal “insider” information from being part of an elite group of hackers, protecting small and large enterprise websites, and just keeping you and your family protected – you need to get this course now….right this minute.
