    Not many plugins and all are quite mainstream but sadly I think this is the only possibility.

    Kind of a pain though… Typically troubleshooting plugins can be quick, disable, test and move on but in this case I need to leave each one disabled long enough (a few hours anyway) to see if a newly created user name is discovered.
    That said, I rather suspect Yoast, the seo plugin, which could easily be shut off for some hours. I don’t have access now but it’s the only one I can think of that might be interested in publicizing that sort of metadata. Off the top of my head the others are;
    Contact form 7
    Redirection
    Popup Maker
    WP maintenance
    BackupBuddy
    Comet Cache
    WP Maintenance Mode

    The only other thing I can think of is Google recaptcha v3.

    Got work to do…

    Btw, the quick responses are very much appreciated!!!

    Yes, I’m considering changing the login url but I’m really curious what is exposing the user names. And as noted at the start, ‘Disable Users Enumeration’ is selected and a simple author URL check results in: “Accessing author info via link is forbidden” so enumeration seems to be blocked.

    It’s all rather odd…

    Hi…
    I’ve considered renaming the Login Page but decided to stick with the basics for now. Been using iTheme’s security on other sites but really like some of the features you have – this is my first installation of ‘All In One’.
    And I have not even looked at “Cookie Based Brute Force Prevention”.

    That said, not sure why you asked as I presume neither of those would be leaking user names.
    Obviously moving the login page could help but it doesn’t address the question of how the names are being found.

    Thanks

    Thanks Glen,

    I do realize FTP access is inherently different. I noted it just to say that basic I/O was not an issue.

    I have looked at a few things and indeed, what I was pushing was way way over the top however, even when well under the thresholds I am aware of, the same issues occur.
    As I understand it, the key php.ini settings are post_max_size, upload_max_filesize and memory_limit.
    The current settings are:
    post_max_size = 128M
    upload_max_filesize = 128M
    memory_limit = 512M
    I suppose max_execution_time and max_input_time could also be a factor. The current settings are:
    max_execution_time = 30
    max_input_time = 60
    However, I would say that when the form freezes it occurs after about 10 seconds so I presume neither of these is being overrun.

    I dropped the file count to 50 with a combined size of 71.6MB (75,138,072 bytes), the form freezes.
    I dropped the file count to 25, combined size of 35MB and the form did not freeze however, something was still off in the background. All the progress bars completed very quickly but it took several minutes before anything appeared in the upload folder and about 10 minutes elapsed before I could successfully send the email.
    To help reduce front-end confusion I changed the Contact 7 error message to: “Your upload is still being processed. Please wait a few minutes and try to resend your message again.

    Still love the plugin and presume the issues are server side and only indirectly associated to the plugin but it would be nice to know the actual limits and what the delays are.

    Had an interesting occurrence today. A rather impatient user that wanted to upload several hundred pics, (I think) perhaps dragged the same set of files to the form more than once with two results:
    1) I was told the site froze
    2) On the backend I found there were multiple duplicates like c44, c44-1, c44-2, c44-3, etc

    I looked at the cpanel back end and found the I/O was hitting 100% for a bit.

    As a test I went and uploaded (or tried) 310 photos with sizes ranging from aprox .5MB to 2.5MB, total upload 409MB.
    1) The form page froze after abut 15 seconds meaning all progress bars stopped running
    2) Trying to open the site in a new tab took several minutes, spinning icon.
    3) Looking at the upload folder in the backend via FTP showed only 3 files were uploaded after about 10 minutes.

    cPanel did not show any I/O issues.

    Ohhhh, interesting… After about 15 min about 15 of the progress bars were replaced with:
    “The uploaded file exceeds the maximum upload size of your server.”

    FYI, the shortcode in the contact form is:
    [mfile Upload-Files limit:51048576 max-file:500]

    I thought I had set a high enough limit but, guess not so I changed it to:
    [mfile Upload-Files limit:1000000000 max-file:500]

    I ran the same test with the same batch of photos and had similar results:
    1) The form page quickly froze meaning all progress bars stopped running
    2) However, opening the site in a new tab was OK.
    3) Looking at the upload folder in the backend via FTP showed only 2 files were uploaded after about 5 minutes.

    After about 10 min the upload form progress bars for about 22 items were replaced with the same maximum upload size error.
    Looking again at the upload folder in the backend showed 18 files were uploaded.

    Checking the cpanel again and I/O Usage was at 100%
    and physical Memory Usage was at 98.65%.

    Some minutes later more of the progress bars had been replaced with the error.
    Only two progress bars indicated 100%

    As a reference, uploading the same 310 photos via FTP takes about 5 minutes and does not cause any cpanel I/O or memory errors.

    No problem and no rush… Nothing should change anymore structurally though I did change from Hypercache to CometCache today. I don’t think that should have any impact.

    The link is in the email along with the user ID and password…

    Thanks again…

    Hi Glen,

    I changed the access rights for that page. The link is the same but it now requires a user to be logged in.
    Info being emailed.

    Just for kicks I tried the tests again and have a slightly different result:
    I uploaded 5 pics at about 2MB each.
    As soon as one of the progress bars started growing, indicating that the upload was underway, I clicked send.
    A generic contact form 7 error error was generated; “An error occurred, try again later”.
    I waited a few seconds and tried again, same error.
    Waited again a few seconds and the mail was sent successfully.
    However the mail I received only included data for two of the five uploads.

    Still loving this capability though 🙂
    Thanks…

    Hi Glen… My apologies for not getting back to you. Things were rather nuts (among other things, a wedding).
    The page in question is password protected.
    Can I message you privately?

    Forgot to add… I am also in favor of some way to have files automatically placed in separate folders but instead of time stamp folder names I would suggest folder names based on the senders email address or perhaps better, time stamped and email address like Joe@gmail.com_20190419_1405.

    Ahh OK… I did see an earlier message about using a DOM but I did not initially understand how to actually make the change but now I did and the error triggered.
    It is indeed a form validation error, similar to what occurs when a required field is not filled in, the error message pops up and the message is not sent.

    I will let it be for now and see what happens…

    Thanks for the quick response…

    Kind of slow at responding…

    While it took some searching, between Inspect Element and Firebug with “.select2-result” as a starting point, I got where I needed to be…
    Thanks

    Funny, I just posted one solution in a thread named:
    Remove csv downolad link or perhaps edit link

    Have to say that although I could easily hide it when investigating with the various source inspection tools, I was not knowledgeable enough to hide it using css.
    But a colleague assisted and came up with the following which does the trick. It is file specific so a line is needed for each csv source file:

    /*----- Hide specific Filewawy generated csv download links -----*/
    a[download="csvFileName#1.csv"],
    a[download="csvFileName#2.csv"] {
    display: none;
    }

    Been a few weeks with no thoughts on this question so I hope a bump will help…

    Sorry, I am stumped…
    I came up with that because when I pointed your shortcode at a different folder, I saw the same issue as you, PDF icons – no thumbnails.
    I noticed the permissions were different than the previous location so created a new folder and added new files which immediately had the 755 permissions and it all worked.

    What about the main folder where the files are being uploaded, is it also 0755?
