    Secure it from logins? Protect it from spam or something else?

    Keep downloading the database, or use backup plug in :)

    There are a couple of plugins you can use to increase wordpress security, but really they are no match for having updated Wordpress

    Always keep up to date

    Hi,

    I think my issue will not resolved with the plugins.

    There are some hackers who attack my Word Press blogs again and again and change the admin passwords.

    On the home page they post their own page.

    Is there really any solution for it or not?

    Regards

    Agree that you need to keep your Wordpress install up to date...***along with all the plug-ins***. Exploits being found all the time, so keep updating.

    if you want your wordpress secure there is some way:
    1. not use admin as your username
    2. use akismet to block spam comments
    3. install wp secure or secure wordpress plugin
    4. not share your personal data
    5. use bad behavior plugin
    6. not login at shared connections

    >> 1. not use admin as your username

    Ahah - I had never thought of that! I suppose you can just create a new user, give it admin rights, then what would you do with "admin" - delete it?
