Overview

What I built & why

WordPress hardening plugin covering brute-force protection, file change detection, 2FA, and database backups. Rebranded to SolidWP Security.

Built by iThemes; acquired by Liquid Web; widely used in managed-WordPress hosting bundles.

Highlights

Key deliverables

  • Brute-force protection
  • File change detection
  • 2FA + passwordless login
  • DB backups
  • Magic links

Process

Challenge & solution

The challenge

A vendor lock-in clause forced a tight ninety-day migration window with zero room for service interruption.

The solution

Replaced the manual exports with scheduled jobs and a clean reporting layer that updates the dashboard hourly.
