WordPress, bots & .htaccess
So once again some nasty bots are trying to attack my brothers webpage…
Since he uses WordPress, I installed the following wordpress plugins for him.
- IQ Block country – awesome plugin.
- Stealth login – hides the login page
- Cookies for comments - fools spambots
- Invisible defender – fools spambots some more
- NoSpamNx – stops spambots
- Login lockdown – you get 3 chances to login, then you’re out!
- Redirection – redirects from pages missing or out of the site if needed
- IP2Nation installer – installs the ip2nation database, good for blocking countries with too much spammers
What’s next then… I will now add some .htaccess tweaks to get rid of some more spammers.
Here are some tips
How To Block Bots, Ban IP Addresses With .Htaccess
and
Blocking bad blocks and site rippers
that’s all for this time!









Great, just what I needed to get rid of the bots on my blog!
Thank you!
