I have been using wordpress fro a few years now I came across this firewall plugin which helps lockdown my websites
Its called Ninja Firewall
https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninjafirewall/
if you have other scripts running in folders you might need to disable the post or get options as the plugin secures the whole public_html folder.
the plugin also provides a visual display on the dashboard to show any attacks.
For anyone that uses instagram I came across this great plugin that lets you display your photos as an album
https://wordpress.org/plugins/alpine-pho...instagram/
you can add shadow effects to all the images that are displayed as a nice gallery, it uses lightbox popup or a direct link to your instagram photo
For anyone in the UK in need of the cookie consent as part of the new EU ruling I have found this plugin to do the job well its called UK Cookie consent it displays a simple banner at the top or bottom of the page and generates its own page with more information about cookies
wordpress.org/plugins/uk-cookie-consent/
I have been using a social auto post plugin for a while now I got the paid version although the free one works well you are just limited on the number of connections.
its created by NextScripts social auto poster
wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/
you can change what is sent to your social networks by using short codes it takes a while to configure as you need to get the different API's for the different social networks you want to use but once its been set-up it will save you time as you don't need to manually post to your social accounts
