I could not get into “PHPmyAdmin” and therefore I took option 1.

Thanx, this worked perfectly so far.

I have a new Username (Not Admin)with strong passwords for WP-Admin,
C-Panel, My hosting Company, and even these Support Forums.

Thanx, that helped a lot.

Thanx Tim,

Yes it cleared a lot of things for me.

It appears my WP-Admin is now OK. I do not get logged out anymore.
I am going to try your option 2 to try and change my particulars, because my profile page in WP does not allow me.

If I go into WP-Admin, WP does not allow me to change the username.

I will try as you suggested and see what is happening.

Actually I did try to go to Bullet Proof Security Support, but I was diverted to this Forum.

I have another problem now.
Ican not log in to WP-Admin. This is caused by Bullet Proof Security.

The E-Mail I am receiving: –

A User Account Has Been Locked
To take further action go to the Login Security page. If no action is taken then the User will be able to try and login again after the Lockout Time has expired. If you do not want to receive further email alerts change or turn off Login Security Email Alerts.
If your User Account is locked and you are unable to login to your website: Use FTP or your web host control panel file manager and rename the /bulletproof-security plugin folder name to /_bulletproof-security. Log into your website. Rename the /_bulletproof-security plugin folder name back to /bulletproof-security. Go to the BPS Login Security page and unlock your User Account.
Username: admin
Status: Locked
Role: administrator
Email: [email protected]
Lockout Time: 14/02/2015 13:41
Lockout Time Expires: 14/02/2015 14:41
User IP Address: 78.6.29.46
User Hostname: 78-6-29-46-static.albacom.net
Request URI: /wp-login.php
Site: https://firecorpgrp.co.za

The IP in BOLD is not my IP. It is somebody intending to get into the website.

Unfortunately I get locked out and I have to follow the instructions in Italics Font to recover and it does unlock the account, but everytime I try to log in again it is the same story again. I am Locked Out again.

Is there no way around this? It takes a lot of time to follow these steps.

I would like to find out about the following: –

Wordfence is alerting me of about 10 IP’s a day trying to get acces to my WP-Admin.

I block these addresses everyday. Do I keep on blocking, because I have noe 110 blocked IP’s.

What do I do with these, because the more you block, the more wants to get access.

It is also time consuming in blocking these addresses every day.

Ok, but is it sufficient.

Below is what Bulletproof are doing.

Are you still being compromised?

[removed]

Have you installed Bulletproof?
Bulletproof creates an htaccess file, which can not be changed by hackers.

Did you fix the problem?
My site Firecorp 1475 was so badly compromised, I have received E-mails from Google stating that my site has Malware if somebody visits it.

I have installed the following Plugins: –
1) Bulletproof Security installed in order to secure the htaccess file.
2) Sucuri to do malware scans
3) Wordfence to notify me about illegal log ins from which IP addresses.

When things went bad Wordfence gave me the compromised file names and I deleted those files.

I was informed that my website is now clear and safe to visit and suddenly the IP’s trying to get into my site have decreased from about 50 a day to about 1 a week. (Ip’s That I used to block with Wordfence)

Regards

Good Day,

Thank you for not responding.
I have solved the previous problem myself, but now I have another problem.

The “forget Password” link does not work.
I have done something around it as you will notice Firecorp 1475 https://firecorpgrp.co.za/about-fire-extinguishers/

I have WordPress 4.1 Installed and is using the theme Minamaze Version 1.14 by Think Up Themes.

I also have WP-Members version 2.9.8.1 installed

Kind Regards

Kobus

I have just been notified a User logged in: WalkerThibodeaux
IP 167.160.105.149

As far as I know, no user can register on my site.

I do not know if there is something wrong.

Kind Regards

Kobus

Good Day Jan,
Thank you for fixing the questionable link.

If you have a look at the site, ALL text used to be in BLACK, but now it shows in RED.

It also shows the “hand” cursor when hovering over it.

That also should not happen.

Kind Regards

KTS915,

I have watched one video, and followed it step by step.
