Hi @LeslieM and welcome. ![]()
For security, it seems many CP users have gone with Shield Security as they have included ClassicPress support (even though the language is still decidedly “WP” in the dashboard). I know, the idea of configuring a new security plugin is no fun, but, at least it’s an option.
A couple of other resources to check out are the list of plugins confirmed working with CP 1.x and the list of plugins built specifically for ClassicPress.
