Hi Jeremy,

The 500 errors are because my database server was already crashed by the time I took that snippet from the log but I can assure you when not being attacked the server works fine.

Apparently I am not the only one attached by those same IP addresses. Please see here: https://do.co/1Sur4Uh

The IP addresses I’ve recently been hit with this attack by are as follows:

185.130.4.120
185.103.252.170
185.130.4.197
159.122.224.173

And going back further in the past this one too:

89.248.167.131

I will contact you via the private form with my URL, no problem.

Using this command to block them with the firewall seemed to stop it but this only works if you manually detect the attacker IPs and then login to the server and manually block them one by one.

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s IP_ADDRESS -j REJECT

OK sorry about that. I didn’t understand now I got it. This worked. I didn’t understand about the default menu.

As for the support system I don’t need it anymore but i still can’t login. I reset the password and it just says the password is wrong. Not sure what is the issue but it is impossible for me to login no matter how many times I reset my password. It says the password is wrong even when it is definitely right.

I made repeated attempts to open a ticket but I cannot create a working account. No matter what I do or how many times I reset the password I can’t login.

The system that emails the password for new accounts clearly doesn’t give the correct password in the automatically generated email it always says the password is “both” but it never works:

Begin forwarded message:

From: “[WebMan Design Support]” <[email protected]>
Subject: [WebMan Design Support] Your username and password

Username:
Password: both
https://support.webmandesign.eu/system/wp-login.php

Every account created says the password is “both”, but I also get wrong password errors even after resetting the password.

The only plugins I have are these: Beaver Builder, Cloudflare, Yoast SEO, Customizer Export/Import and Jetpack.

There aren’t any menus to edit I guess is the problem. I didn’t do anything I just installed the theme and started adding content. Pages are automatically linked in the top level navigation and they are in alphabetical order. I don’t know how to change or edit them. If I add a page it’s listed there whether I want it or not.

So are you saying i have to delete the default menu and create a new one?

I know how to use wordpress but I don’t understand why I cannot customize the menu that’s already there. The box is just grey, I can’t click on anything or change anything. The customizer does not have these options that I can see.

It stays out of sync forever for me.

Thanks for the clarification.

“true” is yet a third option… are you saying that works too? I have seen only

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', 'true');

or

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

but not

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', "true");

Thanks.

Thanks for the fix.
