 * Did that, BROKE my site!! Oops.

       function wpcache_broken_message() {
       	global $wp_cache_config_file;
       ```

 * Emailing a password is horribly insecure.
    The email corpi go through many servers
   before arriving at the user’s door. Any of those could retain the email and use
   it to breach sites later.
 * In contrast, a reset link is only good for a limited time, so if someone came
   across an old email it wouldn’t breach the site.
 * This is an absolute deal-killer. Sorry.

 * Again, does this have **anything **to do with MEMBERS? If the spams aren’t coming
   from members, then you need to prevent spam in general. Install Apache SpamAssassin
   in CPanel, to protect your website mailserver.

 * You may want to change the addresses you use on the website and delete the ones
   spam emails are being sent to.
    What addresses are getting spam? (Just the username,
   not the domain name.) Do you you expose those email addresses on your site? Elsewhere
   on the web? (Scraper bots find and copy email addresses.)
 * If you expose emails on your site,you may want to install a plugin: Email Address
   Encoder.
    (As far as I can tell based on what you’ve said, the spams have nothing
   to do with ultimate member.)

 * Emails?
    Where are they getting your email address? What makes you think it’s
   related to UM? Are these folks members? If you had spam COMMENTS or POSTS, then
   you could require email confirmation when people become members. Look for a different
   spam solution- there’s many (Cerber, Wordfence, etc., etc..)

 * You need to give some more details of your installation. Describe your to/from
   email addresses
    Is the email being sent from your domain? (Super@yourWebsite.
   com) or an outside SMTP server? Many email services, including Google and Yahoo
   bounce emails if not.

 * You need SSL. Look at “LetsEncrypt”(free SSL)-not all webhosts allow you to use
   it easily (it cuts out their reselling SSL services.) ZeroSSL allows you to use
   it manually.
    Cloudflare can also give you SSL. It’s a CDN.
 * You may want to make sure your ‘canonical’ is “www.yourWebsite.com”, not “yourwebsite.
   com” It seems to prevent some problems, but too complex for me.

   what gets put in a reset password link. Does the plugin eliminate that feature?

 * Hi makemake,
    The whitelist overrides the blacklist. When you set it up, Cerber
   automatically whitelists your IP adddress range. That means you COULD get attackers
   from your ISP, but that’s a small slice of the whole world. IMHO, it makes sense
   to disable the “admin” and “administrator” accounts, because they’re an obvious
   attack vector. Change your admin name to ‘your own Name plus some nonsense’ like
   George554, to reduce that vulnerability.
 * Read ArsTechnica’s articles on cracking.
 * And use a password manager (KeePass) and [strong passwords ](https://makemeapassword.org/generate/ReadablePassphrase)
   [https://makemeapassword.org/generate/ReadablePassphrase](https://makemeapassword.org/generate/ReadablePassphrase)
 * If they’re attacking wp-admin, then yes, using the IP blacklist will help, as
   will blacklisting ISPs that use the forbidden “admin” or “administrator” user
   names.
 * As does having a 100+ bit password ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/209/zxcvbn/test/index.html](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/209/zxcvbn/test/index.html))
   
   It’s called a layered defense.

 * Hi Gioni,
 * Thanks for explaining this, and…good thinking!!
    I was going to ask if the whitelist
   overrides the blacklist or vice versa, for exactly the reason the poster was 
   thinking. If I change to an alternate login, then blacklist every IP that uses
   wp-login.php, bots only get one chance (besides, I have a 150 bit password) but
   if something glitches w the alternate login, I can still get in. Brilliant!!

 * Admin panel, > settings, > permalinks. Open cPanel, file manager, find .htaccess(
   dot means hidden-s et to see all) and check permissions on the file. Google for
   meaning of 0444, etc.
