Why this, why now

You inherited sites you did not build, on hosting you did not choose, with plugins nobody has updated since 2021.

You inherited sites you did not build, on hosting you did not choose, with plugins nobody has updated since 2021. You know it is a matter of time. The audit never happens because there is always a client deadline in front of it.

What changed

Automated exploitation of known WordPress plugin CVEs is now same-week, not same-quarter. The window between disclosure and mass scanning has collapsed, so "we patch monthly" is no longer a patching policy.

Who teaches it

Taught by the people who actually ship this.

What we actually cover

4 modules. Each ends with something working.

Module 1

Audit like an attacker

The five paths every real WordPress compromise actually uses
Reading a site's plugin surface for known-exploited CVEs
Finding the backdoor that survived the last cleanup
Ranking findings by exploitability, not by scanner severity

You can then

Walk into any site and know what to fix first

Module 2

Harden without breaking the client's site

File permissions, wp-config constants, disabled editors
Authentication: 2FA, login throttling, and killing XML-RPC properly
WAF rules that stop the scanning traffic before PHP runs
Least-privilege database and SFTP users

You can then

A hardened site that the client never notices you hardened

Module 3

Backups you have actually restored

Why the backup plugin you use has never been tested
Off-site, versioned, and immutable — the three properties that matter
Running a restore drill in under 15 minutes
What to do in the first hour of a live compromise

You can then

A restore you have personally performed, not one you assume works

Module 4

Hosting that scales past the shared plan

Where shared hosting actually falls over, and at what traffic
Object caching, page caching, and the order they belong in
CDN in front, origin locked down behind it
Staging that mirrors production closely enough to be useful

You can then

A stack that survives the launch traffic you were promised

You will walk away able to

01Audit any WordPress site in 10 minutes and rank what actually matters
02Harden a site so the top five real attack paths are closed, not theorized
03Set up backups you have actually tested a restore from
04Move a slow site onto hosting that survives a traffic spike
05Run patch management across a whole portfolio without touching each site

Who this is for

Agency owners, freelancers and in-house teams maintaining WordPress sites for other people — where a breach is your problem, at your cost, on a Saturday.

Who this is NOT for

People running one personal blog on managed hosting that already handles patching and backups. You are paying for this in your hosting bill already.

The full run of show.

Published before you pay, to the minute. Nothing is pre-built off screen.

This cohort hasn't run yet, so there are no quotes to show. We publish one when a real attendee gives us one and signs off on it being public — until then, the agenda above and the refund policy are what we're asking you to judge.

The specifics.

Portfolio patch-management workflow, one dashboard for every site

Before you decide

Do I need to be a developer?

No. If you can log into cPanel and a WordPress admin, you can follow every step. We explain the server-side pieces rather than assuming them.

Why is it free? What's the catch?

Seats are limited and approved by hand, so we spend the session on people who actually run sites. That filter is the price. Advanced workshops in this track are paid.

My sites are on managed hosting — is this still relevant?

Yes. Managed hosting covers the server; it does not cover your plugin surface, your user accounts, or your restore process. Those are where the compromises happen.

What if I can't attend live?

The recording and every template land in your inbox within 24 hours. But the live audit is the part you cannot get from a recording — try to make it.

Will you audit my site on the call?

We audit one volunteer site live, and take as many as time allows in Q&A. Bring a staging URL if the site is client-sensitive.

How is this different from a security plugin?

A plugin closes some doors and reports on others. This is the judgement layer — which findings matter, in what order, on a site you did not build.
