Securing my blog
-
Hi — I was wondering how to best secure my blog to keep hackers away. I sometimes worry to lose my content or have my personal information stolen. I know there are some suggestions people have (read this article: https://garage.godaddy.com/webpro/security/9-ways-to-secure-your-wordpress-site/?utm_content=bufferf9b30&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer). How do I know if my theme is save? Am I currently protected? Is there more I can do to be safer?
Thank you.
Rebecca
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

since you are hosted on WordPress.COM, most of the hair on fire, check your theme and plugin’s have already been taken care of for you, the staff is looking out for you
Make sure your blog password is secure AND your email password and such are secure (people can get into your email and reset the password)
You can enable Two Step Authentication also – that sends a text message to your cell phone when you log in and the code needs to also be logged in – IMPORTANT NOTE – print / save whatever the recovery codes – if your cell phone is lost – you need the codes to get in – if you use the Google Authentication App same thing

Thank you for your response.
I have a couple of more questions.
1) I used to be able to see a pop-up window for WordPress chat. Is this not available anymore?
2) For my blog, I don’t want to show the # of followers I have but I still want to have the pop-up bar that asks for people to follow me. How do I set it up this way?
Thanks again!

1) Unless you have an expensive upgrade (Business I think) the popup chat only happens when the chat folks have extra time, also since WordPress.COM wants you to migrate over to the new Blue Death not so smart pages, the chat does not seem to show up on the classic dashboard anymore
2) Sorry can’t remember the exact place – but look at your Widgets for the Subscribe – there should be a check box to show followers. – uncheck the box
you be welcome & good luck

Hi.. I am very concerned. I just noticed one of my pages from my blog disappeared. It is the “home” page listing all my posts. Can you please help me bring ti back?
Thanks,

Hi again! I tried to add “home” back to my navigator, and even though I see it from the dashboard, I am not able to see it live on my blog.I am not sure how this got removed. I never visit that section of my dashboard. Would you be able to help me add it back, please? It should be listed first and it should link to all my posts the way it used to. I don’t want to change the colors or anything else, just want the “home” back.
Thanks,

Hi — I am trying to revise my copyright at the bottom but the line is breaking. Is there a way to keep it all in one line so it reads:
© 2015–2016 the small c | All Rights Reserved.
Instead of it breaking into two lines?
Thanks,
Rebecca
