It looks your site is under attack. * I’ve visited your site and looks like the host provider has blocked access to it: `Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)` * Rename your .htacecss file to .htaccess-deactivate and see of you can access your site again. * Then, check file permissions of your WordPress install; check the wp-content and plugins folder permission if they are set to 744, if not, please set them to 744. * Please see here how to apply properly the folder permissions: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions) [https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/understanding-file-permissions/](https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/understanding-file-permissions/) * Would you please contact your host provider about this error? * Let me know how it went. * Kind regards, Nastia * Plugin Author [jdailey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdailey/) * (@jdailey) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spurious-emails-generated/#post-8961937) * Thank you for using Appointments+.
