In reply to: [WordPress File Monitor Plus] Exclusion pathsMy recommendation is to uninstall this plugin. It clearly doesn’t work -and never had for me. Install Better WP Security. That plugin has a feature that does what this one claims to and so much more. I’ve been so happy since I dumped this one.
Mine never updates either and it says it’s “BETA”

In reply to: [InfiniteWP Client] Use IWP with a custom WP admin urlThank you for this. It was driving me crazy. I hate that I cannot tweak the login URLs for the installation. That would pretty much eliminate 95% of all attacks since they all go after those three URLs. Anyone know if there is a fix in place for this?

In reply to: [Comments Evolved for WordPress] Google comments plugin update causing errorsI’d love to know this as well. I thought I was on the most recent version of PHP.
Wow, they’ve updated the settings. It was never this easy. Thanks for the heads up. I’ve blocked a bunch of the bad guys. Let’s see if this tones things down.
@mark, ironically, I have that installed on one of my sites but for the life of me I can’t figure out a way to do the country blocking. That was actually my first choice but it isn’t clear as to how to do this.
I called my host about this and they said to put that in place would do the job but it would severely slow down the performance of the site so I opted not to. Right now if someone tries to log in with an invalid user name they get blocked for a couple of hours. That will do the job for now but I get an email every time that happens from Wordfence (my option) so I can tell and the emails are just rolling in. It gives me anxiety. I’d rather just block the whole country since I’ll never do business with any of them.
I’m very aware of the brute force attacks. Thank you for the reminder though @jacob. Those attacks are what’s prompted me to tighten up the tolerance of them. If someone tries to sign into one of my sites with an invalid username or resets the password more than twice I want them blocked for 2 months. For whatever reason it’s only happening for 2 hours despite me adjusting the settings.
I’ve tried to block entire countries with another plugin but that doesn’t’ seem to be working. I see it works for others but not me. Don’t know why. I think if I can block China, Russia, Romania, and Germany I’ll get very little attacks.
I guess my point is, why bother letting me set it to 60 days if it doesn’t do it? I’m getting blasted by bots right now and I’d like to get a break from the emails I get every time one of them tries.

In reply to: [Login Lockdown & Protection] Continued Development?With all of the attacks going on, this would be a great time to release a new version of this.

In reply to: [Easing Slider] Totally brokenNot a problem at all. I wish I could change my review from 1 star. I should have just gone into support and put in a ticket but I wasn’t paying attention. Had a bunch going on at the time.

In reply to: [Easing Slider] Totally brokenYes, thank you for the help. I rolled it back and waited for your next release. Everything seems ok now.
