In reply to: Someone is trying to hack my siteThe most common attacks against a WordPress blog usually fall into two categories.
1. Sending specially-crafted HTTP requests to your server with specific exploit payloads for specific vulnerabilities. These include old/outdated plugins and software.
2. Attempting to gain access to your blog by using “brute-force” password guessing.The ultimate implementation of this “second layer” password protection is to require an HTTPS SSL encrypted connection for administration, so that all communication and sensitive data is encrypted.

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] All-in-One Event Calendar Update 1.10.11Pam, one can also edit the plugin code from the WordPress Dashboard accessible to administrators.
Here’s a brief overview: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins_Editor_Screen
If you can create a post using the Dashboard, you should be able to handle this, too, I think. Line 160 reads
unset($plugins->active[ array_search( $basename, $plugins->active ) ] );
Just put two forward-slashes in front of it…
// unset($plugins->active[ array_search( $basename, $plugins->active ) ] );
And then click the Update File button at the bottom of the page.

In reply to: Revolution Slider Image Sizes/ Editing ImagesWere you able to get any support, Lenna? I’d be happy to just find a little bit of documentation for using the slider. Maybe I’m just missing it.

In reply to: [Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Jetpack Post By EmailAh. Gotcha. The way the documentation reads, it sounds as if anyone who has the address can post… (and that’s all that need happen)

In reply to: [Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Jetpack Post By EmailJeremy, can you clarify what you mean by “all registered users with publishing privileges” in your previous post? Does that mean all users with privileges on the WordPress site in question?
We have a WordPress site and are trying to get the post-by-email feature of JetPack working, too. I have an account on WordPress.com and was able to enable JetPack on our site and generate a publishing-by-email email address, but it seems I’m the only one who can use it. Or is that behavior by design?
Thanks for the help. WordPress rocks.
