Same here…

Thanks Hal! This is a really great plugin; I’ve been looking for something like it for a long time. Will check out the pro version.

So this has been going on for weeks with no fix in sight? I just installed the “most popular WordPress gallery ever” and its shortcodes are nonfunctional. This is a fresh WP install, no plugins other than this one.

“Gallery not found. Please check your settings.”

Can anyone recommend a replacement photo gallery package?

Same problem here…I’ve found a few threads here on this issue, none have replies.

I had the same problem; what OP described is the default behavior for this plugin. Fixed in the CSS from the Widget screen:

.rpwe-block li{
list-style-type: none;
}

Exact same issue here…

Jeez, found it…I was trying to add it to shortcode using JW’s formatting and it wasn’t working.

For us, the firewall rule mitigated the issue. A more permanent fix was accomplished by changing the site’s ip address and then blackholing the original ip.

blograzzi, in my case, we’ve seen over a million unique ip’s in the last two weeks. Over 40,000 yesterday alone; it’s a botnet.

My server load seems to be doing fine with the following iptables rule, which is blocking all of them:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp –dport 80 -m string –string “MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1” –algo bm -j DROP

A hardware firewall will work well against only a small botnet.

For my case, I think I’m going to change the site’s ip tonight and have my network provider blackhole their prior ip.

wtreyes, do you have root on the machine your site is hosted on?

We’re running an update StudioPress theme, update Genesis framework, updated WP 3.6 and only a few plugins. The POST payload is empty…this is just weird.

cata, how are they trying to break in by hitting the homepage? These requests aren’t against wp-admin/ or wp-login.php. They all appear to be blank POST requests to the homepage.

I think it looks similar to this:

I’m seeing this same behavior with one of my sites. Traffic went from approx. 700 visitors a day to over 100,000 about a week ago. And endless stream of post requests to /. All of the traffic appears to be coming from overseas. I will try to capture some payload data today; wondering if others have seen this recently as well?
