    Hello, AIOWPS is just perfect for my needs, but I don’t understand the attempted URL I receive in the section Firewall/404detection,. Look what king of attempted URL:

    /wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css?ver=e761c9d10fef5c000cc241e28f069482
    or
    /apple-touch-icon.png

    Should I block such IPs
    Somebody knows what is this?
    Thanks for help
    Sacha

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    A 404 or Not Found error occurs when somebody tries to access a non-existent page on your website.

    The above explains what a 404 error message means.

    Should I block such IPs

    Do you know if those files belong to your site? For example the following file /apple-touch-icon.png. Is this file part of a post or page content?

    Regards

    Hi,
    Before you start blocking IPs I recommend that you at least first look into fixing your errors.
    For example: here’s someone with a similar issue regarding the icon png images:

    Thanks for answering, No, /apple-touch-icon.png is not part of the site. And the issue you suggest wpsolutions doesn’t help me it get to deep in the knowledge of WP and coding.
    The fact is I receive over 50 to 100 of theses 404 pages. At the beginning I blocked the IPs but Google Console sent warnings for 403. I don’t know if this is related.

    Yes it is highly likely that it is related.
