The WordPress hacking/plugin security issue has been a solved problem for well over 10 years now if you're even basically competent. Especially if you're using something like WP Engine or Pantheon for hosting.
- nchmy 6mo agowhat is unique about those hosts with regards to plugin security?
- xp84 6mo agoWP Engine etc. cost a fortune - tens of thousands per year when you get a lot of traffic - for something that could be served statically for pennies.
- busterarm 6mo agoRead my other comment. You can very easily use WordPress as just the CMS and still serve static content built from it. So $30/mo for a secure, globally accessible backend for all of your content editors and pennies to serve it.
- xp84 6mo agoThat's exactly what I advocate for as well. Static site export plugin for WP, and firewall WP behind an IP restriction. When Marketing updates the site every 3 weeks they can go click the big "Export" button to "publish it to the main site."
