WordPress Security Guides and Precautions

WordPress security starts with understanding what has changed on your site. Unwanted comments need moderation and spam controls; unfamiliar users, unexpected redirects or changed files need a closer investigation. Choose the guide that matches the problem you are seeing.

Spam comments alone do not establish that a site has been hacked. If you suspect someone has gained access, follow the recovery guide before deleting files or restoring a backup. Removing a visible symptom does not confirm that the site is safe.
