Salt Shaker

Beschrijving

By using Salt Shaker plugin, you’ll be able to harden your WordPress security. It allows you to change the salt keys either manually or automatically.

Try it out on a free dummy site.

Why Use SALT Keys in WordPress?

When you log in to WordPress, you have the option to remain logged in long-term. To achieve this, WordPress stores your login data in cookies instead of in a PHP session. Malicious individuals can hijack your cookies through various means, leaving your website vulnerable.

To make it harder for attackers to use cookie data, you can take advantage of SALT keys. WordPress SALT keys encrypt your password, making it harder to guess. What’s more, it’s next to impossible for hackers to simply ‘unscramble’ the result in order to get at the original password.

FAQ

Nothing happens?

Make sure that wp-config.php file has the salt keys. If for any reason the keys aren’t there; you can always generate a set of keys from this link https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ and add it to your wp-config.php file. Once that’s done, the plugin will be able to shake them based on your settings.

Plugin werkt niet of hapert?

Omschrijf het probleem gedetailleerd op het support forum en wij gaan aan de slag om het op te lossen.

Custom wp-config.php location?

You can use this filter to define the file location salt_shaker_salts_file. Example:
In this example, the new location of the config file is in a folder that’s outside WordPress location in a folder called wpsecret. Make sure to replace it with your secret location 😉

function salt_shaker_new_file($salts_file_name) {
    $salts_file_name = '../wpsecret/wp-config';
    return $salts_file_name;
}

add_filter('salt_shaker_salts_file', 'salt_shaker_new_file');

This is a simple, elegant and yet powerful addition to any security you might already have on your site/sites. I have been the victim of cookie hijacking. It wasn’t a pleasant experience! This plugin ensures you and your team log out according to a fixed schedule resulting in a fresh cookie when you log back in. Indispensable!
