Hi Friends,
My Amazon Affiliate website Hacked some one added some file on wp-content folder,
i have some more wordpress website how can i protect from hackers, any help from wordpress experts.
There's quite a lot of things you can do to stop being hacked:
1. The obvious ones:
- Have a complicated and long password;
- Remove the user named Admin - use a differnet name and make sure that name doesn't appear in any of your posts;
- Rename your wp-admin to something else so it's more difficult to find it; Ensure your WP and plugins are upto date in order to avoid vulnerabilities.
2.
Install a Security Plugin - I like All in One WP Security but there are others around - google and see which one you like best; Some security plugins really slow your site down - so be careful.
Make sure you set your directory permissions properly - this plugin tells you what to do.
3.
Put your site behind Cloudflare - it's free and easy to use;
4. If you've been hacked, chances are they've left backdoor access to your site - check in Cpanel for ftp accounts and ensure there aren't any with remote access. If there are -DELETE them asap.
That should be enough to protect you from hackers. Hope that helps and good luck.

Dude, seriously... Install WordFence and configure it tightly... :) This is the best free plugin protection for WordPress!
I used wordfence also after that also someone hacked and made changes in website and uploaded some files
