In reply to: WordPress Site Keeps Getting HackedIf I can trouble the community with one more question…
I see there are some plugins that monitor WordPress files and scans for ones that should not be there or if they are modified.
Does anyone use these and are they effective? If so, I’m not sure if recommendations are allowed here, but if they are, recommendations appreciated.

In reply to: WordPress Site Keeps Getting HackedThanks Steve and esmi,
Really helpful posts. I think now is a good time to switch hosts since I have to re-build sites anyways.
Mostly these are sites I have just been playing around with, but the woocommerce site was starting to get some traffic and sales, so I was just about to start expanding it, then this…
Really frustrating. I think I’ll go for a VPS this time.

So no problems with the 70+ sites, just the one?
I didn’t want to mention my host just in case it’s not them, but I wonder if it could be the same one?

In reply to: WordPress Site Keeps Getting HackedDoes anyone know if a shared web host account is hacked, can all sites on the server be at risk?

In reply to: WordPress Site Keeps Getting HackedHi Steve,
Thanks for your answer.
I did that. And I made some really long, hardened, strong passwords this round. On WP, I also used the plugin that limits login attempts to prevent brute force cracking. After 3 bad attempts, locks for 30 minutes, then I think after 3 or 4 lock outs it locks for 24 hours.
I also completely removed the affected cpanel account which deleted everything, then created a new cpanel account with a different username and then fresh WP install.
Have you ever had any issues with WP being hacked? I just wonder how frequent this kind of thing is. It’s happened too many times, which is why I’m thinking of switching hosts. It seems like the only common ground.

In reply to: WordPress Site Keeps Getting HackedThe host hasn’t been too helpful, mostly saying keep your plugins up to date, which I had. My host usually ends up locking me out when the account starts to be used to send spam. I have implemented a lot of hardening actions. I don’t have a static IP address, so I can’t restrict by IP. I do not access in wi-fi areas and I didn’t use an FTP client this time around.
I’m starting to think it’s the host, just not sure. Is wordpress + woocommerce fairly secure?
I’m thinking of jumping hosts, but if that’s not the issue….
Thanks for your answer esmi

In reply to: [Simple Shopping Cart] WP Simple Paypal Shopping cart Firefox IssueIf anyone else is having this same issue, I found that if you uncheck this setting:
If checked the shopping cart will be reset when the customer lands on the return URL (Thank You) page.
It works fine. However, I want to use this option – anyone have any solutions?

In reply to: [Simple Shopping Cart] WP Simple Paypal Shopping cart Firefox IssueHi Mike,
Were you able to get this resolved? I’m having the same issue, but I’m pretty sure it’s not PHP sessions as I have other scripts on the same server that is using sessions.
Thanks!
