    Hi,

    I had my site hacked not long ago so now im paranoid on everything so i would like to know if the code in the .htaccess file is good or its a sign of a hacker

    here is the .htaccess code in the wp-admin folder :
    —
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName “postthis”
    AuthUserFile “/home/user2/.htpasswds/public_html/blog/wp-admin/passwd”
    require valid-user
    —

    and this .htaccess file in the main dir.
    —-
    Options All -Indexes

    # BEGIN WordPress

    # END WordPress
    —–

    I want to know if this is normal commands or its a hacking tool.

    Also now when i try to upload images from the post ADD Image section it asks me for a username and password?

    is there something wrong ?

    It’s perfectly normal.

    That’s because you’ve added password protection to the wp-admin folder.

    Thanks esmi,

    one more question, is there anything els i can do to make my wp more secure?

    I added some security plugins:
    Firewall
    wp-malwatch
    security
    Login Lockdown

    Plus i added an extra Cpanel password protection on the WP-Admin folder

    please let me know if there is anything els that would help?
    thanks in advance
