    Hi am receiving this email notification.

    Post Update

    Notification:
    Wp_log (private to published); identifier: 2490 : Creating Contact Succeeded

    What does this mean. I have received it about 3 times each with a different number and when I am not online. Can you tell me what this notification means? Also is it possible for these messaged to be delayed meaning they are sent after I am done working on the site.

    Thanks!

  • These messages are generated by the Sucuri plugin when it detects a modification in the meta data of a post or page, in this case one with “ID#2490”. The first part has the name of the “Post-Type” [1], the second part between parenthesis has a short description of the action performed, the third part is the identifier of the entry in the database, and the last part has the title of the post.

    Many plugins out there, specially the ones that offer custom forms or e-commerce systems, create custom post-types to differentiate the content generated by them among the other posts stored in the “wp_posts” table which WordPress uses to store “almost” everything that is not related with users, meta data, or settings.

    I searched for some minutes the plugin that created that custom post-type “WP_log” and could not find one that matches the string because this post-type is too ambiguous. You probably know better than me what plugins are installed in your site and can assume which of those is the one that created this post-type.

    I do not know what “Creating Contact Succeeded” means, that is the title that the other plugin used when the post was created, the words suggest that the information of a contact form was collected successfully, but I may be wrong.

    Regarding the functionality to delay the security alerts, that is not implemented, and I do not really know how to do that since WordPress is the one that controls the scheduled tasks, it would be easier if this mechanism was decoupled from the core libraries but that is another story.

    I can offer you two alternatives, one is to disable the alerts for this specific post-type “WP_log” you can do that from the “Ignore Alerts” panel located in the plugin’ settings page. Or whitelist your IP address from the “Trust IP” panel located in the same settings page, this will force the plugin to not send the alerts if the events are triggered from the trusted IP addresses.

    Let me know if you need more information.
