      There is no best security plugins....It depends on what you are trying to achieve by installing a plugin...

      Sometimes it is better to have several good ones (or nothing at all) than a bad one claiming to take care of all of your needs...

      1. Read what it does
      2. Check if there is support
      3. Make sure that it is made by a known provider
      4. Decide if it answers your needs

      good luck

      After configuring bulletproof security, I got the following error:

      Secure Connection Failed

      An error occurred during a connection to melissasmoneymethods.com.

      SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

      (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

      The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
      Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.

      I'm not positive it's from bulletproof but I'm pretty sure :confused:

    I like Wordfence, It's been downloaded almost 400,000 times and had very few problems reported.

    You could go far by securing your admin directory.
    Add an .htaccess file to your wp-admin directory
    If you and a co-webmaster always log in from the same IP (leave out the second Allow from if there's only one.)
    Code:
    <FilesMatch ".php$">
Order deny,allow
Allow from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
Allow from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
deny from all
</FilesMatch>
    Or password protect with .htaccess
    if your login IP varies
    Code:
    <FilesMatch ".php$">
AuthName "WordPress"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/htpass
Require valid-user
Order allow,deny
</FilesMatch>
    If you use authentication you heed to create a password file and set your AuthUserFile to the path on your server.

    ...Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just set there.

    Wordfence and BulletProof Security are both well established plugins with good support at WordPress › Support

    You and your bo likely are using one or more poorly written or outdated plugins that are the cause of the problems you are having.

    The author of bulletproof supports it actively and I have seen where he reaches out to see if people with problems have resolved reports of problems. WordPress › Support » BulletProof Security
