Hi there,

I did a reverse back to the earlier version of iThemes and the problem went away. I think I am going to keep it that way until this bug gets fixed.

Thanks

Hi.

That was my first though yesterday, I had engaged with the new update manually the “REST API” setting to “Restricted Access”. Then when I saw the 404s coming in, I decided to change it back to “Default Access”, that offered no change on the incoming 404s there were still coming regardless of that setting (I waited a few hours between settings to make sure I had true results). So for now I left the “REST API” setting to “Restricted Access”.

Regards,

Lechon

Followed your request, not much information given on the results. I am enclosing here a few samples, I have now thousands of 404s on the logs regarding this.

I know of some other people having the same issue and some of them think that this is related to ad serving. If you are serving ads on your site iThemes might be blocking a function of ad serving that is geared to statistical analysis (what type of ads to serve. etc) while it might not block the ads it might not display the right ads for the right audience. Again, this is just a theory, I just trying to give you as much information as I can.

Here is a screen shot. Again my problem is with videos that have 480 x 360 formats, they don’t seem to conform to any ratio.

Many thanks!

By all means don’t take my word for it. Just go ahead and Google “shareaholic spam”.
