Who is "options-general," and what are they doing with "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?

  • I am getting a bunch of these in my log file, and I was wondering what it was about.

  • Someone from verizon wireless. I don’t know why they are hitting admin-ajax.php, unless there is an event that’s supposed to run. The ajax call is used to run wordpress cron events.

    The admin-ajax.php file should be safe unless you have a plugin installed that uses it without protection.

    Thank you. … My major concern is that I can find nowhere that options-general logged in, but 70.210.130.65 has been moved into the Good Cache. …

    I have deleted it a couple times from the good cache, just to see what would happen. … Nothing much happens, they just go to the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php page, and 70.210.130.65 gets added to the good cache.
