Actually, this is the default behavior of WP mailer, when no “From” header is set. I checked WP code base and I think that for your particular problem, the best solution is to use core WP filters:

function fix_wp_mail_from($from_email) {
  if ( $from_email === 'your-address@gmail.com' ) {
    $from_email = 'wordpress@your-site.com';
  }
  return $from_email;
}
add_filter('wp_mail_from', 'fix_wp_mail_from');

This snippet solves the same problem you can have with any other plugin that use your admin email address to send email from.

Hi,

so, to make this work, I did change group ownership to www-data and permissions to 775 for the folder where WP is installed.
But I feel uneasy leaving it like that… what you think? isn’t it a security concern?

On a properly configured webhost this shouldn’t be an issue, even if it’s a shared one. But you would have to ask your provider to be sure.

since my wp-content folder has been moved outside the folder where WP is installed, I think that won’t work to prevent hotlinking… am I right?

Yes, you are right. You should place contents in the #AIOWPS_PREVENT_IMAGE_HOTLINKS block into htaccess file that is in the rootline of your uploads folder (or wp-content folder, if you want to protect assets from theme/plugins as well).

if so, would that be the case for “Enable 6G Firewall Protection” and the other settings in the Firewall section?

In case when WordPress is installed in a subdirectory, Jeff Starr, the author of 6G, recommends to only keep [QUERY STRINGS] section of 6G in WordPress directory (as the rules are designed to protect wp-admin area) and move everything else to root directory, so the other rules (like blocking of bad bots etc.) are applied to front-end requests as well.

Hi,

It is most likely “Advanced Character String Filter” that’s causing the issue. Turn it off under Firewall > Additional Firewall Rules.

@dmather, what theme/plugins are you using? I have WP 4.6.1 install with AIOWPSF 4.1.5 and this feature works correctly, meta generator tag is removed.

Hi,

Go to Firewall > Additional Firewall Rules and disable Advanced Character String Filter. Despite what the name says, it block also URLs with some specific strings, like “include.”

The easiest way to delete database tables is via phpMyAdmin (just look for “drop tables” function). Make sure you are dropping the correct tables.

As for missing media files: Media metadata are stored in the same tables as post metadata, so if you have pages and posts back, you should have media files as well. Maybe your problem with media has a different source.

Hi,

It seems like your database tables (these “files” in phpMyAdmin) have been renamed, but the $table_prefix configuration variable has been not.

Try to open your wp-config.php file and look for line with:

$table_prefix = 'wp_';

Change it to the prefix you had picked up:

$table_prefix = 'kam';

Hi Diego,

Try out the recently released version (4.1.5) of the plugin: database backup function was reworked to be less memory intensive.
