I decided to deactive IThemes because of out of memory errors.

The latest one is:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 249823232) (tried to allocate 35652323 bytes)

My memory limit is 256M.

Which specific section? I see that codex article as ‘Upgrading’, nothing there on ‘Downgrading’

I was under the impression that to downgrade manually would involve the same steps as upgrading manually.

I think any version number below 3.9 would worked. I changed it to 3.8.3

Yes, I got it. Didn’t read your post carefully at first since I was dreading having to manually downgrade. (I think that section in the upgrading page should be removed as this step is so much more simple.)

The key step is just to change the wp-version number in one file so you downgrade with one-click.

OK, I think I got it. (The comments about manual downgrades put me on the wrong track at first.)

Edited post to avoid confusing other people.

To fix this problem, you just need to change the version number in ONE file. No manual downgrading required.

I’m concerned that if I downgrade manually, it will still upgrade automatically to Alpha version.

Happened to one of my sites too. ??

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/redirection/

I use it to redirect old urls to new ones. It didn’t work with loggedout=true, unfortunately.

I tried to use Redirection to redirect loggedout=true to another URL. It didn’t work.

I haven’t tried the htaccess fix. I prefer to not touch htaccess.

Fortunately, the hackers kept trying with username “admin”. If I do see login attempts with the correct username, I’m going to try the htaccess fix.

Still did not receive email notification of follow-up post.

I wasn’t able to use Redirection to fix the problem, but (for some reason) the number of login attempts dropped down to practically 0 recently.

I wonder if the fix mentioned at:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/after-enabling-hide-backend-still-i-am-getting-bad-login-attempt-how

– can be pulled off with the Redirection plugin.

I will attempt later on.

I did not receive an email notice of your reply, that’s why it’s only now when I’m replying.

Also, lol – no illegal things on any of my sites – I don’t even have any advertisements (since I do not like ads).

I’ll try limiting number of wrong attempts. I didn’t even know I could do that. That’s very reassuring.

Something must be wrong with my install then. ??

Deactivate the ban hacklist feature and then reactivate it?
