Thanks you Janis,

Installed version 1.10.3 yesterday Dec 05, 2014. Run through all my checks and everything worked as it should under WP 4.0.1.

Much appreciated.
John

Thanks Janis Elsts,

Not sure what plugin you are referring to, what I do know is 1.9.2 is working fine. I guess I’ll try this again with the development version of BLC and see what happens. I have found that plugin issues are an ongoing problem with WP and that is why I disable the update process until I actually have a lot of spare time to work through these issues.

All that aside I do appricate your BLC plugin as I do referrence other sites from mine and sometimes they just go down or change, BLC always keeps me current on such things.

Update: Just installed 4.0.1 same problem with Broken Link Checker 1.9.5.

I removed Broken Link Checker 1.9.5. From my backup I copied Broken Link Checker 1.9.2 plugin back to my current plugin directory. Activated this plugin and guess what everything is not working as it should BUT I do get control of my system and I can do work, something I could not do with the 1.9.5 version.

On the Dashboard under Broken Link Checker it shows it working, on the other version 1.9.5 all it ever said was LOADING…..

I guess that is why some hosting sites have banned Broken Link Checker and I guess I have to do the samething now. Shame because I really liked this plugin.

One last note: This was posted with the 4.0.1 upgrade for Broken Link Checker – Compatibility with WordPress 4.0.1: 100% (according to its author), so don’t believe everything you read.

So I guess this is solved as I am using Broken Link Checker 1.9.2.

Thanks Handoko,

I didn’t take offence by any writings, besides I have a thick skin.

Okay at this point system is clear, new backup system running everyday along with daily system backup. I’m almost ready to try it again.

Thanks for your patients and guidance.

One point, when I was reading the helps, reference to SQL commands something like this SELECT * FROM “wp-content” works in phpmyadmin but not in a terminal. Using mysql> “wp-context” won’t have the quotes or at least on my Linux system it doesnt. Could cause confusion I guess.

Okay I have flushed the wp_bwps_lockouts and Log tables.

I have removed from wp-content:
_bwps_data
_bwps
_file_log
_bwps_instrusion_warning

I had already dealt with .htaccess and wp_config.

So I watch and see what happens the next couple of days.

As the plugin isn’t install right now can I drop wp_bwps_lockouts and wp_bwps_log tables? Hopefully giving me a clean system for the next attempt, which I will pay more attention to the warnings this time.

Thanks

“..it was me that can’t get in on…
What did you do that cause yourself being blocked from your website?”

I rebooted the Server after installing Better WP Security. I’ll get back to you on clean uninstall.

Jpw94 thanks, but I know I didn’t get to that one however I am heading to the databases next.

Handoko: The site works from the outside world, it was me that can’t get in on my own network or if I am sitting at the Server. However I can’t do what you recommend as the plug-in isn’t active, I assume that is what you mean.

I will go and look at the _BWPS_Lockouts dababase and see what is what. I read Chris’s blog on fixing Better WP Security Lockouts and thought to myself that really wouldn’t help a noob as he won’t know how to open a database.

What would happen if I reinstalled the plugin now, It was manually removed two days ago and I reset my .htsaccess and wp_config.php. If I reinstall will the changes to the database be restructured as a basic install? Hopefully clearing out whatever has caused me problems.

The only reason I want to do this is because I have three days of articles each day backup but so was the plugin settings so going back beyond what would be 5 or six days now would mean I could loose that data. I don’t just backup the application I backup the whole system much easier and much faster. But now have to re-think that.

Yes you are probably right as that is what testing is all about.

The article you reference is very good however in this case when you can not access your admin you can not do any of those things. That is the kicker here. Now with the plugin delete I can get into the system but some things are left behind and I get timed out by my own system. I’m at a loss because even my browsers Chrome and Firefox are timing me out. Anyway I can only guess I am going to have to rebuild the whole site from scrach, last time I did that the backup plugin you referenced didn’t work that well, picked up the docs but missed the images and over 600 of them that is a big deal.

Thank you for your response I will let you know what happens unless you can come up with a better idea.

Can not login to Admin – Access Denied. So that means I could not do anything about it from the system side. Did not know I had a problem until I rebooted the Server. Reinstalled full system backup, but the plugin was still there so Deleted the plugin folder and reset permalinks. Now I have to go into the databases and figure that out because it isn’t 100%. Five minutes to install and setup, 3 days of…..

Thanks for the reply.

LOL on What have your done that caused the problem?
