Bots attack or a weird error

    I had to disable my website with config change (so it won’t be able to connect to DB), because something weird is going on, the very moment my site is up I get tons of mysql queries that fill up my mysql so bad it starts eating all my CPU and RAM, clogging up my server and disabling all websites on it.

    Would like some advices on how to fix this and\or filter malicious requests to my DB, if that is the issue here…

    Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    I turned off all plugins (by renaming plugin folder), now awaiting if I ecnounter this issue again or it was plugin’s fault…
