WEBVTT

1
00:00:09.268 --> 00:00:11.531
As well as securing your web site

2
00:00:11.531 --> 00:00:13.531
Admintools for WordPress comes with

3
00:00:13.531 --> 00:00:15.531
several tools to help you configure

4
00:00:15.531 --> 00:00:17.531
nd optimize your web site.

5
00:00:17.531 --> 00:00:19.531
You can find them in the tools section

6
00:00:19.531 --> 00:00:21.531
of the control panel.

7
00:00:21.531 --> 00:00:23.531
The first of these can be found in

8
00:00:23.531 --> 00:00:25.531
WordPress Tools.

9
00:00:27.661 --> 00:00:29.661
A salt is used to encrypt passwords

10
00:00:29.661 --> 00:00:31.661
and it is recommended that

11
00:00:31.661 --> 00:00:33.661
you periodically update these

12
00:00:33.661 --> 00:00:35.661
by clicking here.

13
00:00:35.966 --> 00:00:37.966
You will be logged out and then you will

14
00:00:37.966 --> 00:00:39.966
need to log back in to continue.

15
00:00:49.809 --> 00:00:51.809
Next is password expiration.

16
00:00:52.463 --> 00:00:54.463
By default a password will 

17
00:00:54.463 --> 00:00:56.463
last forever but if you want

18
00:00:56.463 --> 00:00:58.463
ou can force the user to change their

19
00:00:58.463 --> 00:01:00.703
password after a set number of days

20
00:01:01.161 --> 00:01:03.161
by setting a value here

21
00:01:03.161 --> 00:01:05.161
and then selecting which roles to 

22
00:01:05.161 --> 00:01:07.161
apply this to. In my

23
00:01:07.161 --> 00:01:09.161
case I have set it to require all

24
00:01:09.161 --> 00:01:11.161
Administrator and Editors to

25
00:01:11.161 --> 00:01:13.440
change their password every 60 days.

26
00:01:14.668 --> 00:01:16.668
Now we have some advanced options.

27
00:01:17.154 --> 00:01:19.154
The first of these are for your posts.

28
00:01:19.786 --> 00:01:21.786
 Here you can change the default values 

29
00:01:21.786 --> 00:01:23.786
for autosaving, revisions,

30
00:01:23.786 --> 00:01:25.786
automatically emptying the trash

31
00:01:26.171 --> 00:01:28.171
 and cleaning up after image edits. 

32
00:01:29.294 --> 00:01:31.294
You can find out more about these 

33
00:01:31.294 --> 00:01:33.294
options by hovering on the title.

34
00:01:34.138 --> 00:01:36.138
Now we have some system settings.

35
00:01:36.138 --> 00:01:38.138
These are mainly tools that will let you 

36
00:01:38.138 --> 00:01:40.297
see any coding errors on your site

37
00:01:40.823 --> 00:01:42.823
 and you should only enable them 
when you are building

38
00:01:42.823 --> 00:01:44.823
 the site. And never leave them on

39
00:01:44.823 --> 00:01:46.823
 when your site is live.

40
00:01:47.429 --> 00:01:49.429
To apply any changes made on

41
00:01:49.429 --> 00:01:51.429
 this page click on the orange button

42
00:01:51.844 --> 00:01:53.844
 and a wp-config file will be

43
00:01:53.844 --> 00:01:55.844
 created with the settings.

44
00:01:58.394 --> 00:02:00.394
If you have upgraded your site to use

45
00:02:00.403 --> 00:02:03.510
 https then you have two very useful tools.

46
00:02:04.668 --> 00:02:06.668
 The first of these will change all your links

47
00:02:06.668 --> 00:02:09.049
 to be the secure https 

48
00:02:09.110 --> 00:02:11.518
instead of the original http. 

49
00:02:12.582 --> 00:02:14.582
This is optional and you should be aware

50
00:02:14.582 --> 00:02:16.582
 that even external links will be changed 

51
00:02:16.582 --> 00:02:18.582
to use https. 

52
00:02:19.643 --> 00:02:21.643
The second option will change your entire

53
00:02:21.643 --> 00:02:23.643
 site configuration to use https 

54
00:02:23.643 --> 00:02:25.643
and this is highly recommended.

55
00:02:35.805 --> 00:02:37.805
Over time your Database tables 

56
00:02:37.805 --> 00:02:40.110
can benefit by being optimised.

57
00:02:40.587 --> 00:02:43.549
 If you click here then this will 
be performed for you.

58
00:02:49.667 --> 00:02:51.667
Finally we have a tool to ensure 

59
00:02:51.667 --> 00:02:53.667
that your file and directory permissions

60
00:02:53.667 --> 00:02:56.281
 are set to the correct, secure values.

61
00:02:57.346 --> 00:02:59.976
Here we can configure the default permissions

62
00:03:00.380 --> 00:03:01.786
 and by clicking on the orange 

63
00:03:01.832 --> 00:03:03.832
Save and Apply button these permissions

64
00:03:03.832 --> 00:03:05.832
 will be applied. 

65
00:03:06.217 --> 00:03:08.217
Now that you have saved the defaults

66
00:03:08.217 --> 00:03:10.217
 you can fix the permissions on your 

67
00:03:10.217 --> 00:03:12.359
entire site at any time in the future

68
00:03:12.783 --> 00:03:15.097
 by just clicking on  the Fix permissions

69
00:03:15.141 --> 00:03:17.141
 button on the control panel.
