WordPress powers a large share of the web, which makes it both a productivity platform and a constant target. This course treats WordPress as production infrastructure. You learn to install it correctly, build and organize real sites, and manage users and content safely. Then you harden every layer against the attacks WordPress sites actually face. Those layers are the application, plugins and themes, PHP, the web server, the database, and TLS (the lock that scrambles data while it travels).
It progresses from first install to running hardened, monitored, automated, and recoverable WordPress at scale. That includes WooCommerce stores, multisite networks, and headless/decoupled deployments. DevOps release workflows, WP-CLI automation, and disaster-recovery practices run throughout.
The Secure WordPress Administration program provides practical, enterprise-ready skills across WordPress administration, content and site building, security hardening, server operations, and DevOps. It assumes no prior WordPress experience and progresses to advanced, multi-service production deployments.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Install, configure, and administer WordPress and its LEMP/LAMP stack
- Build, theme, and organize content-rich sites with the block editor and plugins
- Manage users, roles, capabilities, and least-privilege access
- Apply defence-in-depth hardening across application, server, database, and TLS layers
- Administer and tune the web server, PHP-FPM, and database for performance
- Deploy repeatably with containers, CI/CD, and WP-CLI automation
- Run WooCommerce, multisite, and headless WordPress in production
- Monitor, back up, and recover production sites under pressure
