What is Solid Security (iThemes)?
Solid Security began as Better WP Security, was later renamed iThemes Security, and became Solid Security under the SolidWP brand. It was a WordPress plugin offering brute-force protection, two-factor authentication, password enforcement rules, file change detection, and Patchstack-powered vulnerability alerts and virtual patching. In May 2026, Liquid Web consolidated the SolidWP brand into its Kadence WordPress product line, and the plugin was renamed Kadence Security.
Kadence Security is no longer sold as a standalone product. It now ships only inside the paid Kadence Pro and Elite site-builder bundles, alongside backups and multi-site management tools, though a limited free hardening version remains on WordPress.org. Buyers who want just the security features must now purchase the full Kadence suite, and critical security patches for the retired standalone product are only guaranteed through April 2027.
