won't activate

  • One thing u have to be careful though is wordpress and plugins like to use special ids for their POST/REQUEST and so this could be picked up by Screamer and flag it as bad and potentially get your self banned from the Admin page (and entire site) accidentally. So u want to make sure when u enable the Ban feature to be aware that you may need to do some adjusting by including post/get ids in its Exception field. For me, i kept getting confused why i kept getting locked out when i attempted to edit preferences for another plugin. Took me a while to notice it was screamer false positiving on my navigating/saving attempts in Admin page…yikes. I was forced to go into the database, search for my ip to locate which tables it was in and remove the rows (with my ip) that were related to screamer and that fixed the problem. I also took note of the “REQUEST.xxx” and “POST.xxx” columns to include them into Screamer’s exception list. With that done it fixed the problem perfectly.

    That’s great advice, thanks!

    As for the install problems, the update to 3.8.3 seems to have solved it…
