I am on 4.9.4 also, and my sitelock report is showing the error: WordPress <= 4.9.4 – Application Denial of Service (DoS)
An online search brought up a wpcampus.org site that showed a workaround https://wpcampus.org/2018/02/version-4-9-3-version-4-9-4-denial-service-vulnerability/:

Instead, I would suggest adding a couple of lines to your htaccess file to watch for requests to these file, and block them if the length of the load list is too long.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wp-admin/load-(scripts|styles)\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} load(?:\[\])?=(.{256,})$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – [F,L]

In the full list of scripts, there are 2650 characters. In the above htaccess example, I’ve set it so if there are more than 256 characters forbid the request. You may need to adjust that number upwards if you find your loaded scripts list is longer.

Has anyone tried this? Does it sound like a good idea?
all the best,
Nathalie

hi
i had this same error code:
Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in [mysiteaddress]/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 1044

here’s how i fixed it:
1.went to my cpanel
2.then to myphpadmin (i’d never altered this, so i was a bit apprehensive…but it worked)
3.on the left side list i found my wordpress data base & clicked it
4.with new choices on left side, i found wp_options,clicked once
5.in main window, clicked the browse tab, and looked for widget_text (there are many pages to choose from,so if you don’t see it immed.just use the dropdown menu to select the next page)
6.once you find the line with widget_text, hit the edit button (mine looks like a pencil)
7.when the new window pops up, you will notice a box with text that you added for the widgets. Delete all of the text in the box.
8.you will see a box underneath, that gives the option to save,then press go.
9.now a new page shows you the code which has been altered. you will notice at the very end of the sql code it says something like text=1, change it to a higher number to avoid this same prob in the future.
10.press save again
11.done

i hope this helps!

i may need to get the fix for functions.php but, my first issue is that i dont understand how/where we are supposed to place the ‘photoblog’tag. can anyone let me know?

cheers

wow, thanks for the quick response! it worked ??

hi,
After searching for 2 months, I have finally found a slideshow that works flawlessly in wordpress- splashcast.com
I am ecstatic to have found this site because, best of all, there are no plugins to download, install, and tweak. I simply had to make my slideshow on their site, copy the code, and insert it into a page or post. The only thing i need to figure out now is how i can get it to work in the sidebars…then i will be over the moon!
good luck!
Nathalie
