    Hi!

    Thanks for the reply.

    I followed your suggestion, and it appears you are partially correct.

    What was happening is that the site was under attack, and I got tired of playing “Whack a Hacker,” which is what I call keeping a Wordfence Live Traffic window open while I work on other things and immediately blocking the IPs and/or networks of those Wordfence identifies as behaving suspiciously.

    So, I changed the security level to Level 3 and then Level 4. Whenever I changed the security level, the options below it changed as well.

    Makes sense now that I know what was happening and why.

    Normally, I would simply have done more troubleshooting on my own. But since it occurred in the middle of a 5 day assault on the site, I was hyper-sensitive to potential problems and wanted to make certain I dealt with whatever is was A.S.A.P.

    Now that I know what was happening, I’ll simply get used to the idea that I have to reset everything to my normal preferences whenever I return to a lower level of security.

    Thanks again,

    LJ Stevens

    FYI, the site the review links to is NOT the site I just built. That is a site I tried to build and then abandoned because of the frustration I was having trying to get things to work.

    After abandoning it, I build the site on a completely different platform. And will be taking it live in a week or two.
