Thank you again for your response ??

I believe I found the answer. I changed my settings so that posts over over a certain age would automatically be closed. Once I did that, the spam decreased instantly.

Thank you for the quick response ??
Any idea how I can get rid of it?

I’m here looking for the same answer.

I see.
The option to show them evenly would be a great feature to have. Other plugins have this feature. Ad Rotate has this option. It just wreaks havoc on my server.

Thanks.

Thank you for such a quick response, but what does that mean exactly?

Thank you harbormark ??

I tried all your suggestions but the duplicate pages with the outdated sidebar continues to show up.

I’ll leave my cache plugin off for a while and see if anything changes eventually

Thank you for responding.

I do have Admin access.
I last posted an article today and yes, I assigned it a category.
Yes, I tried disabling plugins and none seemed to fix the problem.

As stated above I solved the category problem via changing tags/slugs, ext. It appears I cannot have a tag and category by the same name.

It is now this one Page (Gallery) that I cannot sort out.
For the life of me I don’t know why the sidebar looks the way it does either. That “Side Blog” widget you see doesn’t even exist anymore. The plugin is deleted. Its like it is a cached page that just won’t go away, and yes, I have tried disabling WP Super Cache, didn’t fix the problem either.

I have figured out most of my problem, though I can’t quite explain how except to say the issue required me to change tags if I had categories with the same name or even similar.

The final issue however is my Lazyest Gallery Page which when activated for some reason shows here (brownsista.com/images) and here (https://brownsista.com/brown-sista-photo-gallery/). The Gallery page had the slug “images” which I changed to “brown-sista-photo-gallery.” That of course solved my problem and the Gallery page dispalyed properly. Problem is, unlike Categories, when the Page slug was changed it didn’t update the page, it seemed to create two and though the Lazyest Gallery is presently deactivated, it still shows up at brownsista.com/images/ and should not.

Again, it displays this way only while logged out. Logged in I get a 404 pages as I should.

Should anyone be able to help I would be greatly appreciative ??

I just wanted to add another update because the more I look around the more issues I find.

In Internet Explorer and Chrome, my two most used browsers, when I click on the category links not only are they old, from February of 2012 most of them, but the sidebar is old as well. My ads aren’t showing properly, but the real eye opener is that a plugin (Alkivia SidePosts) is still being displayed even though I deleted it today and it was deactivated before that, for months now. I have noticed that particular problem for a while for chalked it up to my cache plugin and kinda for got about it.

Anyway, in Firefox in Safari the categories look and work fine.
I can’t for the life of me figure out what is wrong or what my visitors are seeing. Are they seeing the screwed up category and sidebar like myself, or are they getting the updated version like I get on Safari and Firefox only.

Here is a category: https://brownsista.com/category/black-female-celebrities/

The first article should be “What Was She Thinking,” but I am seeing this: https://tinypic.com/r/nb6oo5/5

Just an update, the category links appeared to have stopped working in February of 2012, rather than February 2013.

Thank you dmd54.

It was definitely the cache plugin. It gave off some error when trying to deactivate and re-activate. I added the missing code it told me to add in config.php and now all is fine.

Thak you again ??

Change my permalink structure! Isn’t that search engine suicide? I don’t know if I’m willing to do that for one post.

@jnhghy I put the original post in the trash (temporarily) and copied the content and attempted to post it again and got a white page. I copied the article from the text box and from the live page and nope, I get a white page when attempting to post it again, even with a new title.

Weird, I know…. and only with that post.

@jnhghy Yeah, I fixed the database errors as well before I posted. When I tried to disable all my plugins at once and it didn’t work, I made that fix, which fixed the plugin issue but not my original problem of not being able to edit that one post.

@krishna Thank you. Removed the iframe (old ad network tag) and now my site is getting a clean bill of health. Unfortunately, still cannot edit that one post.

@keesiemeijer Switched over to default theme, still a no go.

By the way, this pop up hasn’t taken over my entire site. I get it every now and again. I got it last night but before that hadn’t seen it in about 2 weeks or so.
