I installed the latest stable version of wordpress & the plugin
WP Security Scan & it's telling me to fix the following two errors.

WordPress version: 3.0.4 You have the latest stable version of WordPress.
Your table prefix should not be wp_. Click here to change it.
Your WordPress version is successfully hidden.
WordPress DB Errors turned off.

WP ID META tag removed form WordPress core
No user "admin".
The file .htaccess does not exist in wp-admin/.

I changed my permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/ could that
be causing some of the errors anyway how do I fix these two errors.

    If you click the link where it says 'click here' to change the wp_ prefix the plugin will sort everything out. Make sure you have an alternative prefix ready to enter when the plugin asks for it.

    Be ready, though, to get an error message telling you the memory is insufficient. If this happens you'll need to get your hosting provider to increase the memory before you can get the plugin to make the change. If your site doesn't have many posts then this should work OK first time.

    If you create a .htaccess file (in notepad or a text editor) and upload it to your wp-admin folder the plugin will take care of the rest.

    Cheers,

    Martin.
