Why would this IP restriction be more effective than a password protection using the similar .htaccess and .htpasswd method which offers the same level of protection sans the changing of IPs when you move/travel. And let your browser/keychain remember you password so you can just hit enter when prompted. 2. I’m pretty sure most web host have directory browsing turn-off by default and in that case, won’t it show a 404 page thus going to that location makes no sense. However for those not doing that, I’m pretty sure they have a reason and if they’re to follow your steps, they must have been smart enough to do a directory browsing off through their Web Host Panel or through .htaccess. 3. This is the least updated feed and we’re talking about Wordpress, you’ll definitely hear about new releases within days unless you’re on an extended vacation. 1.

Don't use the default table prefix wp_, come up with a difficult to guess one. If you already have wp_ , it is easy to change through phpmyadmin.
