Hi johanee,

I sent an email to the email address on 6/6, but I have yet to hear from you. I sent a new email today with another copy of the code if you by chance did not get it. If you do not get it, please check your junk mail.

Thanks!

Hi and thanks for the reply!

I did as you suggested by placing do_action(‘login_head’) into the header and ran a standard wp_error routine before it as below:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is ten lines. Please use the pastebin]

But I am still not getting any indication that your plugin is working to block the attempts, nor do I get a number of attempts readout.

OK… I take it from the silence that you have no idea how to address this issue?

fredericktownes, I do appreciate your help and assistance, but your comments have confused me somewhat.

In my reply to your first comment I asked you if I MUST use a subdomain (like your example, static.domain.com). Your reply was no. Now you are telling me that the FTP home directory SHOULD be a subdomain, e.g. static.domain.com.

You are also telling me that the use of subdirectories is not supported, nor recommended. Why does the plugin provide for an FTP path?

As far as the bug submissions report, it looks like I need to repeat the statement I made several times before, i.e. when I click on the support tab I get the following error, “Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_user_by() in /home4/sleepama/public_html/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/W3/Plugin/TotalCache.php on line 1238”.

How do I fix this?

I would really, really appreciate some clear answers to my questions. Thanks again for your time and attention to this matter.

I’m sorry fredericktownes, I know you have been busy. It seems you may have missed my questions, so I will present them once again to you:

I'm sorry fredericktownes, I'm going to have to ask you to be patient with me. There is a lot of stuff I am not understanding, and I hope you can clear it up for me.

My idea is to use a subdirectory in another hosted site (omniunlimited.com) to host the self-hosted CDN. Now, I went ahead and followed your suggestions changing both the FTP path and the "Replace site's hostname with:" to remove all instances of reference to the subdirectory I wish to use. The FTP has been set up specifically for that subdirectory and will not allow access to the upper main site. If I open up the user permission to allow access to the main omniunlimited.com site, then won't the CDN files be dumped into the main website directory?

I know from experience that when W3 is activated, the root address of the css and js files is changed to whatever is in the "Replace site's hostname with:" field. If I remove the subdirectory designations, how will W3 know to place them in the right subdirectory?

Thank you once again for your time and attention to this matter.

With regards to the minify files in my current subdomain, I tried to empty that, and indeed all, caches but the files have failed to recreate in the subdomain. That is why I asked if there is a way to force their re-creation.

Additionally, if you feel this may be a bug in the system, and that I should submit a bug submission report, you should know that I get the following error when I click on the support tab: “Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_user_by() in /home4/sleepama/public_html/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/W3/Plugin/TotalCache.php on line 1238”.

I am adept at php, javascript, jQuery and AJAX. If there are changes that I could make to the plugin to make all this work, please let me know.

Yes, the message I get there is different. It says, “Test failed. Error: Unable to upload file: /home4/sleepama/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/test_file_977767c042f5a1b586f43414fb416133.”

Also, I don’t know how I did it, but I apparently deleted the default.include files in the static.sleepamazing.com/wp-content/w3tc/min subdirectory. Is there anyway I can force a minify of the same css and js files I had loaded previously?

Thanks fredericktownes, that is good news.

I think I can resolve the https issue if I could just get the CDN to work on my other domain. I use Adobe Dreamweaver to FTP my site, and the settings I use for that FTP are the ones I tried to use in W3, but could not.

Here are the settings I am using:

FTP Hostname: omniunlimited.com

FTP Path: /public_html/cdn/sa/

Replace site’s hostname with: omniunlimited.com/cdn/sa/

(username and password were not provided for obvious security reasons).

When I click on “Test FTP Server”, I get the following message: “Test failed. Error: Unable to change directory to: /public_html/cdn/sa/.”

Are you able to see something that I am doing wrong here?

fredericktownes, many thanks for your response. Are you saying that I MUST use a subdomain if I am to use the self-hosted / FTP upload CDN option?
