Yes by attack I meant too much traffic from bots. My site is not hacked.
Thanks for your help ??

Hi Phil. Thanks for the reply.

I understand that XML-RPC API is automatically protected by the rules that you set in Wordfence “Login Security Options“, but it looks like with my current settings, the website is still being attacked. Below are my settings, am I not setting it right? :

Enforce strong passwords: Force admin to use strong password.
Lock out after how many login failures : 5
Lock out after how many forgot password attempt : 5
Count failures over what time period : 1 day
Amount of time a user is locked out : 60 Days
The remaining boxes for this section are checked.

Please also see the error message below when the website is down:

“Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): (42000/1203): User alwaystr_wp1 already has more than ‘max_user_connections’ active connections in /home/alwaystr/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1424

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /home/alwaystr/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1454

Warning: mysql_connect(): User alwaystr_wp1 already has more than ‘max_user_connections’ active connections in /home/alwaystr/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1454

Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums .”

Thank you very much mountain guy. It’s good to hear from someone who has experienced something similar and found a solution for it in a real-world setting. Your suggestions are very valuable. Thanks so much.

Hi MTN

Thanks for your speedy response and all the suggestions. That’s quite a lot of information for me to absorb I think I need to take some time to implement them ?? It’s the first time I am dealing with this kind of issue.

Is there any other things that I can do so that I can enable xmlrpc ? As disabling it is affecting my traffic by at least 50% .

Hi Bojan

Thanks so much. I used the code with the plugin and it worked like a charm. Now my site is pretty much how I want it to be ?? thanks and have a good day !

Hi Bojan thanks so much ! Yes, all I had to do was clear the browser cache and it worked ?? Appreciate your help ??

Hi Bojan. I have added in the CSS code via the plugin, but it didn’t remove the featured image on the post there. Is there another code I could use? You can take a look at it here –> https://alwaystravelicious.com/2015/01/19/valentino-bridal-cafe-ipoh/

Thanks !

Thanks so much ! That sounds easy enough. I will try it in the next few days. Have a good day ??

I guess I found it like you ?? Problem solved ??
