What We Liked

The course provides a comprehensive overview of Wordpress security, explaining why hackers target sites and the common threats to look out for.
It covers a variety of technical tweaks to secure a Wordpress site, including practical steps such as securing the login page, protecting the uploads folder, and implementing a web application firewall (WAF).
The course provides guidance on using the 'All In One Security' plugin to copy security measures from one site to another, saving time when setting up multiple sites.

Potential Drawbacks

Some of the content is outdated, with references to earlier versions of Wordpress and the security plugin used in examples.
A few users found that the course focuses too much on one specific plugin, which they were either already using or did not want to use.
There are limited opportunities for hands-on practice during the course – it would be more engaging if learners could walk through the setup and actually use WPSecurity on a test project.
