I am using additional compression in the server. We recently moved to a virtual private server as well. I don’t know if that affected the configuration or not. Since I posted, I also upgraded the plugin once again.

The plugin is working now (and working well). The previous update did not fix the issue, but this one did. Thank you for replying. I wish I knew exactly what was wrong. Hopefully it will not happen to anyone else, and this topic can stay closed.

For me, this turned out to be a conflict with my theme: Cyberchimps iFeature Pro version 5.1.0.6. I reverted back to an older version of the theme, and that solved the problem.

Go to this YOUR DOMAIN NAME/wp-admin/ to access your dashboard, FYI.

Rather than a blank page, I get a page filled with random code characters. It is somewhat intermittent; it was fine after I updated, then the site was down later. I have verified on two machines and three browser types that deactivating the W3 Total Cache plugin is the correct fix for this.

I intend to try downgrading. To export the settings, I will need to reactive the current version though, which (of course) will mean breaking the site temporarily. I will do this at some time of day when I anticipate minimum traffic.

I am trying to do something that falls very much within this discussion. I am not at all literate with PHP though.
I have two WP sites. I want to reach from one of them, into the other, and retrieve specific featured images for posts, and display them with a link to that post.

I am using this line (with the correct info for my target database):
$mydb = new wpdb(‘username’,’password’,’database’,’localhost’);

What would I follow that with to retrieve and display a post thumbnail?

I am tinkering with a line of code I found elsewhere that looks like this:

$result = $mydb->get_results(“select * from wp_posts where ID=’1885′”);

where ‘1885’ is a sample post ID number.

In an ideal world, I would develop this to the point where it functions as a widget. The client could simply enter a post ID number from the external WP site, and the widget would retrieve the appropriate thumbnail, and display it as a link back to the appropriate post on the other site.

I would like to have the option for permanent bans after a certain number of attempts, particularly if the username “Admin” is being attempted.

On some sites I administer, I currently have the numbers set to 9999 minutes and then 9999 hours. This forces them to wait for a week to try again, and then they get banned for a little over a year. Not bad. I do this on sites that are not supposed to have non-admin users logging in in the first place.

If we could have a special rule for the Admin user name, it would help a lot in weeding out the awful bots that assault wordpress sites continuously.

Update: I worked around the issue by installing a plugin called Simple 301 Redirects. I listed every link (just under 40) and redirected to the correct post.

More information: I believe that all of the posts being affected were originally created as pages. I converted them into posts using a plugin called pTypeConverter.

Somehow, this plugin believes they are still pages rather than posts. How might I correct this?
