I had to deactivate Cleantalk to stop being blocked. I will try again shortly and let you know how I go.

Tried that, didn’t work, purged the cache on the website and same issue again. Also tried Ctrl/F5 and that didn’t work either.

I have repeatedly tried to block bytespider. I have tried through Wordfence custom block and htaccess as well and it is still hitting the website.

User Agent – Bytespider – in wordfence

I notice that when it visits it show Bytespider;, should I also be putting the ; in?

WOW @3sonsdevelopment, you are a genius. That did the trick, I would never have thought that Lazy Load was causing the issue. It has only marginally slowed the load time, so I think I can deal with that. Again, thank you!

I had to uninstall the plugin. In the set up I deseleted posts to try and get around the issue, but your plugin still blocked access to the shop area.

I have worked it out… all good. I had not put anything in the policies as I thought each vendor could do their own, but realised that admin needs to have something written there to facilitate this.

Yes, I did hit “Change Value” and as I said. it will not allow you to have the timeout and size set to your own specifications. It always defaults one back. If I want the size at 450 then it will only allow me to have the speed at 1000. If I want the speed at 3000, it will only allow me to have the size at 2800.

Cancel the call for help… I found the problem, it was a piece of css code, all fixed once it was removed, even though it had been there for a week, suddenly it decided to take the website down.

Another questions. If an order is placed and payment is through BACS and the status through Order details is set to Pending Payment, why doesn’t this order show in the Vendor dashboard?

I have tried:
Deny from env=bad_bot
RewriteRule .* – [F]
SetEnvIfNoCase Via evil-spam-proxy spammer=yes
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer evil-spam-domain.com spammer=yes
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer evil-spam-keyword spammer=yes
SetEnvIfNoCase Via pinappleproxy spammer=yes
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer semalt.semalt.com spammer=yes
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer semalt.com spammer=yes
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer poker spammer=yes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=spammer

and it is not working. I am still getting visits from bots all over the world that have been hijacked by semalt.

They are now using another referrer kambasoft dot com but with subdomains. This has been traced back to the owners of semalt. Does not look like they are going to go away and I am finding the only way I can stop them is by blocking each visit through Wordfence.
