[Image Link](https://s3.amazonaws.com/gotmike-public/wordfence-img.png) * the above link shows the log. as you can see, there are 9 attempts within a minute all from the same IP address. * 3 of the 9 logins are usernames that i have specifically added to the “immediately block the ip of users who try to sign in as these usernames” list. * the only “current blocks” i have are those that i added myself. the “amount of time a user is locked out” is set to 12 hours, and these attempts were just under 6 hours ago, so they should certainly still be blocked. * Forum: [Fixing

updated that theme to the latest version. * i also completely uninstalled and re-installed contact form 7. * then, i disabled every plugin AGAIN. * AND i switched to the twenty fifteen theme AGAIN. * same problem. * so, i turned all my plugins back on, dealt with all the config issues, and got back running. * incidentally when you do this, jetpack goes goofy on you so you have to switch back to twenty fifteen to enable it and then you can switch back to your original theme again. * so i’m back to square one. * then… i looked at the google chrome javascript console that was complaining about“ ga undefined” and realized that b/c i’m using the yoast SEO plugin, it renames something in google analytics universal tracking that causes the name to change. i was using the ga code to trigger an event to track in analytics, but i also use google tag manager. * there are lots of posts about switching to use the name __gaTracker instead and that MAY work with direct ga code placement on a site, but it definitely does NOT work with google tag manager implementation for some reason that i didn’t bother to debug. * at any rate, when i took out that code, it started to work and i just added a post-submit page redirect to track the goal/conversion instead of messing with the event tracking, which seems to be buggy at best in WP once you install a couple plugins, especially if you use tag manager instead of the native installation. * hope this helps the next guy… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Groups] Why are there 404 errors

[https://wordpress.org/plugins/groups-404-redirect/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/groups-404-redirect/) * however, you don’t get any ability to show a message indicating why they were redirected. so if someone tries to access the page, they simply get redirected to the login page. * overall, i’d say that’s a poor solution. * seems like the developer’s website is down as well, so maybe this isn’t supported anymore? or maybe out of business? * at any rate, perhaps the preferred solution is to use the inline permissions by group instead of the method for the entire page. then you might be able to hack together a solution. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Groups] Why are there 404 errors on Protected

can’t use WordPress on Windows at all, anywhere? Or, you can’t use WordPress on Windows with GoDaddy? * And, why on earth would they even have it then? Doesn’t it just create a support nightmare for them? Why not just eliminate WordPress as an installation on Windows? * And if it’s an issue of WordPress on ALL Windows boxes, not just GoDaddy, why wouldn’t WordPress figure out a way to speed this up? * Or, is it just ALL PHP coding is slow on Windows? I guess I’m not following where the problem is, and if everybody knows it’s a problem why nobody really cares to fix it… Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total)
