Secure WordPress Hardening & Code Integration

Quick Turnaround: WordPress Hardening & Code Integration for Simple 1-Page Club Website Project Description: We are looking for a meticulous, security-conscious WordPress developer to finalize a website project. This is a straightforward, small-budget task with a quick turnaround because we have already prepared the technical assets. The active malware from a previous developer has been fully removed, and the site is completely clean. Our primary goal now is absolute prevention. We need a professional who can safely integrate our provided updates without reintroducing vulnerabilities, ensuring that the system is fully hardened against future exploits. What we provide: • The exact PHP code snippets required for the updates. • A clear written explanation of how to apply them. • A comprehensive Theme Guide. • 3 clear JPEG screenshots detailing the final layout adjustments. Your job is to safely implement this provided material, ensure the code is fully sanitized, and guarantee that the website functions perfectly with or without the new code enabled (robust fallback logic). Scope of Work: 1. Security Hardening & Prevention: Review the environment to implement strict security guardrails. Ensure no backdoors exist, file permissions are secure, and unauthorized file execution is blocked so malware cannot be reintroduced. 2. Safe Code Integration: Apply the provided PHP code snippets to functions.php / shortcodes.php to register a new text/pricing field inside our "Club Content" admin panel (alongside existing Stripe/Printify fields). 3. Fallback & Graceful Degradation: Build defensive checks so that the site, admin panel, and the [gw_membership_dialog] shortcode function flawlessly, whether this new code is actively running or temporarily disabled. 4. Final Layout Adjustments: Implement the straightforward layout and content changes explicitly outlined across our 3 attached JPEG screenshots. 5. Secure Handover Documentation: Provide a short, concise guide detailing how we can handle routine updates safely moving forward without risking code regression or security slips.

Requirements

• Proven experience in WordPress Security Hardening and secure coding (input sanitization, data validation). • Strong PHP skills, specifically with WordPress hooks, shortcodes, and defensive coding (preventing site crashes if a function is missing). • High attention to detail—the ability to strictly follow provided technical instructions. • Fast availability to complete this small task efficiently. All files, pre-written code snippets, and visual guides are ready to go. Please bid with your fastest turnaround time and your realistic fixed price for a streamlined task of this size.
