The Day the Hackers Came: What Happened When 80% of my Client’s Sites Were Hacked in One Day

This presentation is the stuff of nightmares for any WordPress website owner. On the 19th March 2019, 80% of all Ingrid’s website clients from the previous 5 years were hacked and all the backups deleted, even though all the standard security precautions had been taken and paid security plugins were operational.

This session will explore why WordPress sites get hacked, how you know you have been hacked, what are the implications of a hack, and what are some of your options to fix your hacked site. It will also look at both simple and more complex solutions to reduce your risk to your WordPress website so you never face a similar night of horror.

WordPress, GatsbyJS and Splendour in the Grass

In 2018 Splendour in the grass approached Bolster to rebuild their website for 2019. Our approach was to create a headless WordPress instance that used GatsbyJS to compile down to a hybrid static website.

This talk will look at the benefits and challenges of using headless WordPress with ReactJS + GatsbyJS. We will dive into 3 areas of the site development, frontend development, backend development and the end user.
