    You will sleep so well tonight knowing that your webshop has been completely secured, following all these steps in this video. We're gonna secure your WordPress webshop right now. Log into your webshop. You might still be using /wp-admin/ which is the worst way to login, because it's known around the world, so bots can automatically try to log in using only this URL. We're going to secure and change this in just a minute. So what we need for our WoocCommerce website to be completely safe is we're going to need a plugin. Press 'Add new' and the entirely free plugin we're going to use is type in "iThemes Security". We're going to press 'install now'. Press 'activate'. In here you can see the setup button. Uou can press over here 'Setup' or you can just go to here and press 'Settings'. Let's set up our security step by step. I'm going to guide you through all these settings and explain them to you so you know what's going on. We're going to press eCommerce and we're going to set this up for ourself. Then you want to select your the WordPress roles given to the customers.
    I don't have subscribers on this website but you might have, or else just only select customers and press next. Now do you want to secure your customers account with password policy? When they're creating an account they have to fill in a password. Most passwords are just really lame and easy to guess or to hack. Now the problem with that is, if someone can log into your system with a hacked account, there are more ways to hack you than when they are still outside. So yes, we're going to enforce a password policy for these users. Press next. Now this is one of my favorite features and one of the best ways to lock hackers out. Two-factor authentication. If we enable this one, no administrator will be allowed to log into your webshop without entering a code from for example your mobile phone. We're gonna set it up in just a minute. For now we press next. And yes, we want to be secured against local brute force and network brute force. What does it mean? Well the local is just auto bots or things trying to guess login details from your website, and then we can join a network which actually reports all kinds of IP addresses so that you're already safe before they even try to connect to your website. Press next. With the Security Check Pro - I want this, and then every IP address is trying to reach my server will be checked against the iThemes Security server, if they are okay. Press next. Here you can change user groups with specific security measures. If you just use default, the customers, they cannot manage the iThemes Security - of course never ever allow this for your customers....

But when the systems does it it results in error "Unable to determine if the scan target is allowed: Scan target is not publicly accessible." This issue is caused because the site keeps scanning the private IP Address, Do you know any solution to fix this issue ? changing the site scan target for example.

    I'd like to thank you for this detailed video. I have followed it to the letter, and my Woocommerce store is secure again after changing hosts, where I had to replace my security plugin. Does iThemes have settings where I can whitelist my uptime monitoring tools? 🤔 I can see IPs can be whitelisted but it would be nice if there was an option for user agents.

      Hi Tatah! Thank you for your question. I'm glad you got it configured all. Excellent job! I think that the message comes from loading a image or something via instead of . This could be because of the theme or something. My advice is to install a plugin called "Better Search and Replace" and then run it replacing with throughout your entire database. This might do the trick! Look closely that you make sure the plugin is not set to 'dry run', or else nothing works 😊
