@Brad in Dallas - Hmm I am not really sure. I have never went that far with my WordPress protection. There must be more details on the WordPress site.

One thing I like is that you can install the rcaptcha.com plugin, works great and isn’t too troublesome to visitors, plus it helps make OCR better.

I also understand that it isn’t to hard to set an password on your ADMIN folder for those that built there own site.

My Zen-Cart installation makes it easy for me to actually change the name of the ‘admin’ folder, is that possible/recommended for wp installs?
