 * HI,
    I am missing blog posts as well About 3 weeks of already posted ones and
   scheduled ones too. Media images for these posts are gone Not ready to do use
   DB backup yet
 * I’m wondering if it’s plugins which have not yet been updated, however it’s really
   quite upsetting….
 * If you have any ideas please post on here! 🙂
 * thanks

 * Oh, Also 1 suggestion…
 * Where IP’s can be entered to block manually, it would be awesome if we could 
   enter more then 1 at a time 🙂

 * See this post from Handoko few days back:
    These 3 things – do them all!!
 * Hi all. As far as I know some features of the plugin may cause 500 internal server
   error, you may need to disable one or all these below:
 * **– Menu > Security > Ban Users > Enable Default Banned List
    – Menu > Security
   > Database Backup > Enable Scheduled Backups – Menu > Security > Intrusion Detection
   > Enable File Change Detection
 * Internal server error can happen if your website try to use more memory than 
   allowed by your server. Those features above have been reported using much memory.
   If memory really is the problem, you may try to ask your web host company to 
   increase the max allowed memory.

 * Hi,
 * @ Handoko thanks that is not the issue I didn’t have back end hidden, however
   I did that ONCE a long time ago and when I figured it out after like 2 hours 
   I never did that again! 🙂
 * the fixes i did as suggested in last post seemed to be working but i havent been
   back on that site since several days ago, but i did check in the .htaccess file
   on my host and the “problem” re-write was not there the next day so I think that
   unchecking the 3 places suggested worked!
 * If any changes I will start new thread
 * PS. I am now using ManageWP, and theres conflicts with plugin there as well 🙁
 * Thanks everyone!!!
    Hope this helps others too!

 * Hi,
 * ok i made those 3 changes on 1 site, then plugin needed update, got failure page,
   cleared out .htaccess like 2-3x and cleared cache, worked on site for about an
   hour and so far so good…..
 * if that fixes it id be thrilled 🙂
 * What I think would be a great idea if someone happens to have this saved on wouldn’t
   mind copy/pasting….is a copy or Doc. with —> what they think are best settings,
   as to help those of us having multiple errors etc…..I know it would be a TON 
   to paste in here but it would be really helpful to a lot of people I’m sure…and
   I would do this myself except that my settings are not all set up and I have 
   been having so many issues I’d hate to have someone else’s site go down 🙂
 * My 500 errors happen over various time periods so I will check back in next 24
   hrs
 * Thanks to all of you!
    🙂

 * Hi,
 * @ su1 my error is not win32……….
    but is internal server error 500
 * [@handoko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handoko/) I had considered that
   possibility!!
    I had sched. backups off for sure as I use diff program, default
   banned list was off on some sites which still went down…..I’m not sure about 
   file change detection but will try that on one site with all 3 disabled and will
   report back! thanks
 * PS…if any other settings you think should be disabled please advise ASAP so I
   can test!
 * thanks!
    Will try soon! 🙂

 * HI
 * Thanks for the comments None of the above are resolving my situation 🙁
 * Plugin is doing this in all sites I install it on and it brings sites down Only
   way to fix error is to clean out folders from my host but that is super time 
   consuming and a pain.
 * I disabled all for now and unfortunately I have to use a diff. plugin until issue
   is resolved.
 * @ London WP— I can clear out .htaccess files but it continues to happen over 
   and over again and is too frequent, I could not even write a post…….
 * THanks I’ll be waiting for a fix even if it takes a long time 🙂

 * HI
 * thanks for the replies It happens on every site which has plugin installed I 
   believe I had just about every option checked off!
 * It is sudden and may take 2 min or 2 hours but since it’s making all sites go
   down I had to disable/remove it!
 * it’s def. the .htaccess files the amount of info written though isn’t the issue,
   as if it were it would have brought the sites down fast and at times it may not
   happen for days????
 * I think I need to switch to a paid version of a security plugin as theses are
   my affiliate sites and that’s not good 🙁
 * Any recommendations would be appreciated!
    It’s too bad as the plugin worked 
   real well when I had 4 break in attempts in 2 days a few weeks back and it did
   a great job!
 * thanks!
