I truly enjoyed the course. Before this, I had very little experience with WordPress and had to start from scratch. It took quite a bit of searching to find a course that explores WordPress security in depth, so I really appreciated the level of detail you provided. The resources you shared were also very helpful, and I especially liked how you explained the reasoning behind each suggestion.

- Alicia

I came into WordPress as a writer for my company and slowly took over management of the WordPress site. I had no idea what I was getting into, and I wanted to take a course from someone who could explain things in a way that made sense. Kathy's presentations for my hosting company helped me so much, and this course is packed with useful information that helped me better secure the site. I have much more confidence managing the site now, and it's all thanks to Kathy.

- Daniela

I met Kathy through using Kadence, and she helped me build sites so much easier. I knew her security course would be a win, but I was surprised at how much I learned. Kathy explains things so that they're easy to understand. I love her stories to illustrate how a bad decision could lead to a hack. I was surprised at how fast I breezed through so much information. Great course.

                                        Frequently Asked Questions

                                        You've got questions. We've got answers.

                                        Why should I take a WordPress security course?

                                        WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet, making it a prime target for malicious attackers. A breach can lead to serious consequences, including data theft, loss of customer trust, and significant financial damages. However, most security breaches are preventable with the right measures in place. Installing a security plugin isn't enough if you're unsure how to use the tools correctly.

                                        Who is this course for?

                                        This course is designed for anyone who uses WordPress to power their website, including bloggers, small business owners, e-commerce site operators, web developers, and anyone looking to enhance their website's security.

                                        Do I need to have technical knowledge to benefit from this course?

                                        While having a basic understanding of WordPress is helpful, this course is structured to accommodate beginning WordPress users. We cover fundamental concepts before moving on to more advanced topics, ensuring all participants can follow along and benefit. We also utilize numerous stories to help you better understand security concepts from real-world examples.

                                        How long does the course take to complete?

                                        What makes this WordPress security course different?

                                        Can I apply these security measures to websites that aren't built on WordPress?

                                        While this course focuses on WordPress, many security principles and practices are applicable to websites built on other platforms. For example, you'll learn about Linux file permissions and why they are essential to your site's security. Understanding this applies to anything on a Linux operating system.
