About the course

Plugins are great at adding features which WordPress doesn’t have by default, but security plugins typically only tweak WordPress rather than add new functionality. Aside from the numerous side effects which come from blindly checking features in the name of security, these plugins can give a false sense of protection. To fully understand WordPress security you should have a complete understanding of how these plugins work. Learn more about WordPress with our Introduction to WordPress course.
