Hi,
I can’t have a look now at your site because I don’t have access to computer. Definitelly GoodBye Captcha is blocking spam attempts and you are under attack. Go to reports and block IPs!
I’ll have access to computer in few hours and I’ll help you with this
Thank you Andrew, but there is another problem!
Since I’ve managed to leave double review it seems I can only edit my last one. And if I try to mark that one with 5 stars it shows 0. It is obviously a bug.
Thank you MihChe, I hope I will be able to edit or delete this one star review somehow. As for the attackers “Limit Login Attempts” plugin has blocked hundreds of ip addresses and after your message I’ve also set your plugin to “Automatically block IP Address if the Maximum Attempts per Minute is reached” (which is temporarily set on 2 so ip addresses get blocked faster).
From then the site went down one more time but it seems to be getting better now. I’m at 1719 attempts atm and have also contacted my hosting provider for assistance. This is very unusual – I have no idea why would someone target my site.
Anyways, thanks again and sorry for the confusion – this is the firs time something like this happened.

I’ve removed your other review, let me know if the trouble is still there.
Thanks a lot Andrew! Almost everything seems to be fine now! The new problem is I cannot edit my existing review now (although it is not very important – I’m glad it is at least rated 5 stars now).
When I go to edit page I can reenter the text, yet upon submitting I get transferred here: https://wordpress.org/support/#post-7092821
Basically it shows if I’m editing my deleted post.
It is obviously a bug. If it’s not too much hassle you can paste this on my review since it will probably be way more simple than to go bug hunting.
“I just installed it and witnessed hundreds of blocked attempts within minutes (1312 atm)!
This is obviously a specific situation but it seems that so many requests are creating problems for my host.
In any case – plugin is working! Thank you!
Also, even though the plugin managed to get rid of most of the login attempts, some still got trough and plugin “Limit Login Attempts” kept locking out ip’s.
If your site is under attack I would advise a strong captcha on your login page to use in combination with this plugin.”

Glad to hear that everything seems to be fine now!
Sorry I couldn’t help that much because I was away from my computer!
I’ll contact you by email to analyze the situation!
Thank your guys!
No worries, thank you! Like I mentioned there is no way for me to edit my review so I guess it stays that way 🙁
At least it’s a 5 stars now and there is this conversation under it for whomever will be interested in details.
You cannot leave double reviews. You can only review any given plugin or theme once. I’ve edited your review to contain the content you wanted it to have.

@betrion,
I’ve contacted you by email 2 days ago and I have no idea if you received it or not.

Thanks a lot Samuel!
MihChe – I have different admin email on that site. I’ll try to reach your message soon.
