WordPress is super-popular, and so are the myths associated with it. The CMS was launched in 2003 by Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little. It’s an open-source content management system coded in PHP and paired with MySQL.

Myth 1: You should always change your /wp-Admin URL (Hide the backend)

Truth: Hiding your /wp-admin URL just gives a false sense of security and is not actually secure. Instead, one should use a better and trusted security measure like two-factor authentication for a more secure WordPress login.

Myth 2: You must hide your WordPress version number and theme name.

Truth: It’s not something to worry about. Brainless bots cleanse the net, hoping to find code vulnerabilities, not the WordPress numbers or themes to attack. Therefore, you should worry more about keeping your software up to date, fixing all patches.

Myth 3: You should rename your WP-Content directory.

Truth: Doing this will not boost your site’s security; it can actually work the other way round since themes and plugins using the default directory could jumble up.

Myth 4: “The site is not hack-worthy!”

Truth: Your site’s or company’s size doesn’t matter; all sites are vulnerable to malicious activities. You should pay a full focus on securing your site.

Myth 5: WordPress is insecure.

Truth: The biggest myth of all is that WordPress is not secure, which is obviously not true. The truth is the WordPress users make it the most vulnerable to security glitches. Most security patches can be avoided with a little effort of site owners.
