In reply to: [WP Support Plus Responsive Ticket System] Compatible with sendpress?oops – I meant we use postman-smtp (sendpress too, but that isn’t relevant)

I appreciate the link, but we don’t use a MAC to even access the server, much less maintain it. No files were uploaded from a MAC. Yet, 712 MAC files just appeared, even though none of the security plugins or CloudFlare showed any incursion. It is just… weird. 🙂
Sid
Thanks. 🙂
Another weirdness you should know about – we manually deleted these MAC files. All 712 of them.
THEN – we Re-ran the wordfence scan. It reported the same issues again, even though the files do not exist!
SO we BULK marked all the alerts as “Fixed” and ran the scan yet again. This time we got this in the wordfence log:
[Aug 11 15:35:38] Scan Complete. Scanned 18343 files, 28 plugins, 2 themes, 106 pages, 1 comments and 95910 records in 107 seconds.
[Aug 11 15:35:39] Wordfence used 27.24MB of memory for scan. Server peak memory usage was: 37.16MB
[Aug 11 15:35:39] Notice: Undefined index: coreUnknown in /…/…/…/…/…/AppBuzzinga.com/…/…/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wordfenceHash.php on line 141 0
(NOTE: I replaced the true path with … for security reasons)

There is no “pattern” – it is just a log file naming the virus IT (the ninja firewall) detected by name. Wordfence firewall, ironically, does NOT report the virus found.
The Problem is, that Ninja creates a new log daily – with a new name. And EVERY day, wordfence sees ‘patterns’ in the new log, and issues a warning. We have HUNDREDS of these false warnings!

Screenshot? The warning was IN the email I posted here above – and yes it IS incorrect! the email from wordfence says:
This email was sent from your website “Appbuzzinga” by the Wordfence plugin.
Wordfence found the following new issues on “Appbuzzinga”.Alert generated at Wednesday 10th of August 2016 at 04:53:29 AM
Critical Problems:
* File appears to be malicious: wp-content/nfwlog/firewall_2016-07.php

That is the mystery – we did not upload them, and we are running the server on Linux. But you are correct – they are normal MAC files – nothing weird about the files themselves. It is a mystery.
Also note that your software listed the ninja firewall file as malicious malware, which it is not.

In reply to: Plugin Deleted, yet still see this php error!yes I tried that – they were not helpful. In a previous help call to them, we gave them access to our production site – and they just started turning plugins on and off without warning (or permission) – including our security plugins! Created no end of havoc on our production site.
As it turns out, we discovered the cause – remnants that were left behind when we deleted the plugin, including entries in the SYSTEM cron, which on our server should NOT have been possible. Yet, there they were! DOZENS of them.
(which were causing THAT log and the php error log to fill up fast)At any rate, thank you for your response. Fortunately, we ferreted out all the culprits and returned our server to a normal state.
Again, thanks. 🙂

In reply to: [Tawk.To Live Chat] Query: Is There a performance impact on the sitePage load speed is not the ONLY way a chat can impact a server – we tested one that, after 3 days, had created SO many temp files it used up ALL the inodes available in the tmp directory and locked up the server.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] NO REPLY in over month to a bugIt was updated a week ago.
Not sure what “meaningful” means, but obviously the creators are still out there doing something . . . except addressing this problem that is. 🙂

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] NO REPLY in over month to a bugAs I stated in previous replies, WE are the hoster (dedicated server), and no, there was not a previous snapshot, as we had NO inkling that merely turning the plugin off and back on would cause a catastrophic failure! (It ran for a month with NO issues after we configured it)

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] NO REPLY in over month to a bugNormally, we would just uninstall and re-install.
But we spent days configuring w3 to get the max speed. Stupidly, we did not save the settings before we turned it off to test same pages with no cache on – we had NO idea the damn thing would just crash with a fatal error so you can NOT re-activate it.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] NO REPLY in over month to a bugAs we said, memcache was working with W3 – so YES, it was and is installed and running just fine.
We were NOT using object caching. But since W3 gives a FATAL error and does not restart, you can not check settings.
To repeat: W3 was installed AND WORKING WITH Memcache. We JUST turned it off momentarily to run speed tests, and got the fatal error when we re-activated.
We made NO changes, NO installs, NO adjustments. Just ran some speed tests on pages using test sites such as pingdom
