WordPress

We live in a world of content, masses, and masses of content. Every day, people are writing blog posts, creating and posting infographics, sharing case studies and customer testimonials, and launching businesses. Wordpress website development is at an all-time high.

WordPress announced an important change to how it will block search engines from indexing websites.

This change abandons the traditional Robots.txt solution in favor of the Robots Meta Tag approach. The change brings WordPress in line with the reason for blocking Google, which is to keep the blocked pages from showing in Google’s search results.

Recently a new customer came to us needing their website cleaned up after a hack, as part of the cleanup we found an interesting little malicious WordPress plugin, called “WP Security”, that was being used to encrypt blog post content. The website owner complained of a newly installed and activated plugin on their website that was rendering their original content unreadable.
