• Hello there,

    I recently started building a site using LEGENDA theme bought from themeforest. While i was building i came across a very nice article about ithemes security and how to configure it. After i configured it i checked the logs and i found waaaaaaay too many redirects mostly on the home page and on some images that i don’t link them anywhere :S.
    Any idea how you can help me eliminate them ?
    I was locked out of my site 1h ago aswell

    https://www.wrightwatches.com is the website

    Also here is my .htaccess file
