When you are designing a website using Wordpress, there are many security related plugins, one of the most popular is BulletProof Security. In this tutorial we will show you how to install the BulletProof Security Plugin in Wordpress, then activate the Bulletproof Modes. 

This will help protect your website from some of the most common cyber attacks.

Here is a link to the official plugin page for BulletProof Security.

BulletProof Security Settings:

Now that you have successfully installed the Bulletproof Security Plugin, you can go through the settings. I recommend performing a site backup before working with the settings.

1. Click the BPS Security link in the navigation menu.
2. Click the Create secure.htaccess File button. A message will pop-up explaining what this will do, click the OK button.
3. Under the "Activate Website Root Folder .htaccess Security Mode" section, click the BulletProof Mode option, then the Activate button.
   
   A message will pop up stating "Did you create your Master .htaccess files using the AutoMagic buttons? Did you backup your existing .htaccess files? Do you have any custom .htaccess code in your Root .htaccess file that you want to save before Activating BulletProof Mode? Clicking OK will overwrite your existing Root .htaccess file. Click OK to Activate BulletProof Mode for your Root folder or click Cancel." Click the OK button.
4. Under the next section titled "Activate Website wp-admin Folder .htaccess Security Mode" Click the BulletProof Mode option, then click the Activate button below.
5. Now, click the BulletProof Mode option under the heading titled "Activate Deny All htaccess Folder Protection For The BPS Master htaccess Folder," then click the Activate button.
