Hi unma,

This issue can also be caused by plugins.

An easy way to find the issue is to disable plugins one by one, and also try switching to a default theme. When the issue goes away you’ve found the problem!

Sorry I don’t have better news, good luck!

Hello,

The Facebook shares seem to be working for me!

To get rid of the “Home / Uncategorized” links you’ll have to modify your theme. I suggest opening the theme editor (under Appearance->Editor) and look for either single.php, or post-content.php, or something like that. Then look for the_title(); (this outputs the title), the code you want to remove should be right below that.

As far as infinite scrolling goes, this is going to take some work if your theme doesn’t already support it. It’s not something we’d be able to cover here, but I suggest reading this post:

This assumes you’re using Jetpack, and you probably should.

Hello,

Have you tried using CSS? Look for this in style.css:

.site-header .home-link {
	color: #141412;
	display: block;
	margin: 0 auto;
	max-width: 1080px;
	min-height: 430px;
	padding: 0 20px;
	text-decoration: none;
	width: 100%;
}

and change min-height to whatever you want!

I suggest creating a child theme first.

Hi Jarrod,

To be honest I don’t 100% understand your setup, but if I was in your position I would try commenting out unnecessary lines in your http.conf. Maybe try replacing it with a default config?

Then I’d check the .htaccess to make sure there isn’t anything non-standard in there.

Also since it seems to be isolated to your computer I’d check your hosts file to make sure you’re not pointed somewhere else (this happens to me all the time).

This doesn’t seem to be a WordPress specific issue so you might have better luck posting in a server/apache related forum.

Anyway, I hope this helps!

Hey phenomanae!

At WP Engine we have the Limit Login Attempts plugin installed for every install, so this is where the lock out is coming from.

At the bottom of that page there are instructions for letting yourself back in (using phpMyAdmin).

Hopefully we’ll have a resolution for you soon!

Hi frausto86,

Do you have these issues with your plugins disabled?

Have y’all found any similar plugins? I’m seeing outdated Akismet on each site.

I’m seeing this on a few sites, replacing the infected files did not fix the error.

Thanks again for letting me know about this! I had no clue Yo added this to their API.

It was very easy to add:

I’ll release the update shortly.

Hi utkarsh42,

Thanks for the report!

I wasn’t aware you could send a link with a YO, it looks like it was recently added.

I’ll look into it!

Party.

You can use FTP/SFTP to rename the plugin directory, or use mysql to deactivate all plugins.

Yes I have! My older host (nearlyfreespeech) recently switched file servers, and in the process my file permissions got messed up and it brought my site down.

No problem!

You can also use a browser plugin like Zenmate to switch your IP to confirm your IP is blocked.

Pretty sure the #sthash portion of the url is added by ShareThis, and it’s probably not related.
