I followed this article https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-configure-secure-updates-and-installations-in-wordpress-on-ubuntu but I got a problem when uploaded images/files, it said <strong>“The uploaded file could not be moved to …”</strong>
So, I decided to changed the uploads dir user back to <code>www-data</code>. The upload function working properly now, but is it secure?

That should be secure enough but you can take it one step further and disable php in the uploads directory so that if someone manages to upload a php file they wouldn’t be able to execute it. Add the following block to your virtualhost and restart apache: <br><pre><Directory /full/path/to/wp-uploads> <br> php_flag engine off <br></Directory></pre>
