Recently we are getting hundreds of ‘page not found’ because quite normal IP addresses usually local to our area suddenly try to access wp-admin as in this example taken from the live view in WordFence:

`Type: 404 Not Found
Bushey, United Kingdom left https://carnethy.com/2018/10/scottish-long-coastal-relays-2018-results/ and tried to access a non-existent page https://carnethy.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=stopbadbots_grava_fingerprint&fingerprint=%23Europe%2FLondon%23-60%23win32%23Windows%230%2Cfalse%2Cfalse%23Google%20Inc.%20(Intel)~ANGLE%20(Intel%2C%20Intel(R)%20UHD%20Graphics%20630%20Direct3D11%20vs_5_0%20ps_5_0%2C%20D3D11-25.20.100.6617)

The ‘fingerprint’ link details vary but are similar. Can you fix this? I see someone else had the same problem.
Thanks

Users shouldn’t be getting redirected to that page in the first place should they?

I’m not disabling BPS. It’s vital site protection.

@digbymaass Do not use the support forum to inform people you will switch to a competing plugin. That is very not cool. I have archived that reply.

If you are done with this plugin then just say that and move on. Go for a walk, enjoy the fresh air, admire the scenery and move on with your life instead.

Hi @digbymaass,

You have a security plugin blocking the WordPress Javascript Ajax as I told you before.
That will create issues with ours plugins but also with others. Now and in future.
Do ajax javascript is a standard practice on WordPress.
With Ajax we can send data to a server – in the background

The security plugin isn’t blocking anything.

It turns out to be page caching. Since I turned off page caching in W3 Total Cache I haven’t had any redirects.

From another plugin –

With page caching, the required WP init hook may not be fired…
