## Beskrivelse

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](https://demo.tastewp.com/salt-shaker).

**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.

 2. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to `Tools > Salt Shaker` menu to configure the plugin.

## 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.

### The plugin isn’t working or have a bug?

Post detailed information about the issue in the [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/salt-shaker)
and we will work to fix it.

### 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!
