In reply to: [HyperDB] Product Search not working anymore with hyperdbHi Felix,
Can you post a sanitized version of db-config.php from your WordPress root directory? Sounds to me like you aren’t able to run SELECT queries
Hi Alan,
It looks to me that your WP_HOME or WP_SITEURL may be misconfigured. If you look at the message it is attempting to connect to https://www.chudleyinternational.com on port 443. Port 443 is for https and would explain the failure.
When logged into your site, navigate to Settings->General. Check that both your Site Address and WordPress Address are both using https.
If that’s not it, then there may be something else configured strangely that is affecting the URL that is being used to start the scan.
Please let me know if this helps.

Hello,
Login to your site and navigate to Wordfence->Tools and then scroll to the Live Traffic Section. Are you able to see any Zapier hosts being blocked while Wordfence is active?
Thanks,
Scott
Hi Mary.
Regarding your first question, hiding the login URL doesn’t really add any additional level of security. Automated bots will eventually figure it out as you’ve already experienced.
Regarding your second question — If you are a premium license owner and have questions or problems, I would recommend visiting https://support.wordfence.com, where we have a dedicated support team and ticketing system for our premium customers.
From the message you posted, it appears to be coming from the brute-force protection. This functionality protects you from the the attacks that are not coming from IP addresses that are on the blocklist. The detection and lockout parameters are configurable by site owners. When you are logged into your site Dashboard, you select Wordfence->All Options. Then scroll down the the Brute Force Protection section. There you can configure the lockout duration to anywhere between 5 minutes and 2 months. You can also set other parameters regarding timeframe and and number of failed logins. I will caution you that settings these values too low could have adverse affects to legitimate users logging in.
Best Regards,
Scott
