Does a critical alert get sent out for that also? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Limit Login Attempts Security - Login Security, 2FA, Firewall, Brute Force Prevention] Is it possible to get statistics on failed login attempts prior to 8 days ago?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-it-possible-to-get-statistics-on-failed-login-attempts-prior-to-8-days-ago/) * Thread Starter [Evan Donovan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eadonovan/) * (@eadonovan) * [2 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-it-possible-to-get-statistics-on-failed-login-attempts-prior-to-8-days-ago/#post-17133782) * Thanks – I don’t think we need this feature enough to pay for the cloud version, but it is good to know it exists. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Limit Login Attempts Security - Login Security, 2FA, Firewall, Brute Force Prevention] Is it possible to get statistics on failed login attempts prior to 8 days ago?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-it-possible-to-get-statistics-on-failed-login-attempts-prior-to-8-days-ago/) * Thread Starter [Evan Donovan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eadonovan/) * (@eadonovan) * [2 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-it-possible-to-get-statistics-on-failed-login-attempts-prior-to-8-days-ago/#post-17133739) * Thanks for the quick reply – do you have a link to a description of that functionality, or at least could you let me know how many days it would cover? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [500 errors that redirect to requested page (appear to be for logged-in users)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/) * Thread Starter [Evan Donovan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eadonovan/) * (@eadonovan) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/#post-11791435) * I’m thinking about switching to WP Supercache, since I actually had tried that before in development briefly, but we were recommended WP Rocket, and so we switched. * However, with some other caching plugins in addition to it, it seems WP Supercache might actually have been faster and more reliable, so it might be worth switching back. * The only reason I’ve stuck with WP Rocket so far is that we paid for it. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [500 errors that redirect to requested page (appear to be for logged-in users)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/) * Thread Starter [Evan Donovan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eadonovan/) * (@eadonovan) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/#post-11791422) * I enabled WP Rocket within an hour or so of making the site live, to deal with the traffic, but I don’t recall seeing it before I enabled WP Rocket. * I have a ticket open with them, but since I can’t get more specific logging details they weren’t able to give me much guidance. * Unfortunately, I can’t really disable WP Rocket on live because some of the pages are too slow for a production environment without page caching, since they have so many queries / extensive use of a page builder (Elementor). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [500 errors that redirect to requested page (appear to be for logged-in users)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/) * Thread Starter [Evan Donovan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eadonovan/) * (@eadonovan) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/#post-11791412) * Thanks – I haven’t been able to cause the error to happen again today. It seems extremely unpredictable – there’s not particular pages that I can visit that will reliably trigger it. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [500 errors that redirect to requested page (appear to be for logged-in users)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/) * Thread Starter [Evan Donovan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eadonovan/) * (@eadonovan) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/#post-11790877) * So are you saying the PHP “white screen of death” is not technically considered a 500 error? * In either case, my point is that the PHP errors, if that is what it is, are not being logged anywhere. Normally, when there are memory exhaustion issues with a PHP script, I can enable something to get that logged, but I don’t seem to be able to do that with WordPress. * Is there something with WordPress 5.2’s error handling that makes it harder to get the regular PHP fatal errors like “memory limit reached” into the logs? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [500 errors that redirect to requested page (appear to be for logged-in users)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/) * Thread Starter [Evan Donovan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eadonovan/) * (@eadonovan) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/#post-11790832) * The browser says something about “this page could not be displayed” before redirecting– typically that is a 500 error. * What other circumstances could cause that, do you think? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [500 errors that redirect to requested page (appear to be for logged-in users)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/) * Thread Starter [Evan Donovan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eadonovan/) * (@eadonovan) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-errors-that-redirect-to-requested-page-appear-to-be-for-logged-in-users/#post-11790799) * Thanks – my specific question was about how to get the 500 errors to show up in a log. * Right now, I am not seeing them in: - the regular PHP error log (which I have enabled) - the WordPress debug.log under wp-content (also enabled) - the email notifications of fatal errors that are new to WordPress 5.2 - the Apache error log * I have access to all those and I have seen other fatal errors in them when they occurred. * Is there anything else I could do to try to get the error into a log?
