Wow, I just posted several posts with videos and now this is really bad having no videos displaying. Do you have a previous wptouch version I can restore to? I didn’t think of backing up the last version. Dumb on my part. Never dreamed I’d lose all videos.

Oh boy – it was my error, of course. In my user agent blocking code in .htaccess I intended to block a user agent that started with “validator” and continued-on. But I mistakenly wrote this, which blocked the w3c validator site!
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent ^Validator bad_bot

That was a good thought. But I deactivated Wordfence and removed user agent blocking code from my htaccess and I still get that error. I installed the Firefox add-on and still received the io error.

Now, if you can validate my site but I get the IO error, that should mean its not the site, its me. I wonder if W3C has my IP blocked for some reason.

That did it. All the old posts and new posts now have the correct video size. The small video size in WPTouch when holding the phone vertically is also much better.

Thanks!

I’ve restored version 6.5.2 of your plugin until I get this resolved.

Does the plugin leave something in config or functions or the database that I need to remove?

Also tried to change the embed size in my child theme functions per this page but no change …

The Reading settings has the option “Front page displays” and that’s set to “Your latest posts”. That has not been changed. In WPTouch its set to use WordPress Reading settings. Its still a problem. The home page looks like an Archives page with every post showing an excerpt and a link to read more. Also, on the mobile home page there is a large, dark block above the posts. And on the individual post pages, it displays and excerpt and a read more link.

Nothing was changed except upgrading WPTouch from its update link on the plugins page. I’d love to show it to you but that’s too much of a mess to leave as-is. Love the plugin – hope you have ideas.

Thanks.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled and the rules returned.

I’ve seen dozens of sites with varying suggestions on W3TC settings and I’ve experimented but can’t say if they’re the best settings. Its all a bit confusing. Can anyone point me to a site page with settings recommendations they’ve used successfully? I used shared hosting for years but recently upgraded to a managed VPS with KnownHost. There may be settings that weren’t available to shared hosting but I don’t realize it because I don’t have the experience.

And to expand on htaccess rules and w3tc, can anyone advise on the correct order of htaccess rules? I’ve added numerous hardening tips from sites like this one. I suspect my htaccess may be out of order and possibly inefficient. Should these hardening rules be before the default WordPress rules and the W3TC rules?

The site came back after a while – don’t know why. I tried a new install of Zencache Pro from the support site but when I clicked the activate link, it went back to the page not found error. Then clicking on any page gave the white screen, again. Hated to do it but I returned to W3TC. ??

Yes. Unfortunately, its still happening. Dozens of logins from ip 212.253.49.54 at the same minute. Then it goes to the next minute and repeats. I could block the ip address but I’d rather figure out how to get the login protection working.

Sorry! I found the option to deselect logging sent emails in the Audit Trail tab.

Btw: I checked that account and the emails were received. The time the email was received was correct at 8:43pm. But in the Audit Trail Viewer it shows the attempt at 15:43, 5 hours earlier. I have the timezone set to the nearest city in my area so the system it correct. Is there somewhere else to set that? I’m assuming the other entries in the Audit Trail are also logged at the wrong time.

Its just a simple child theme that’s off the default twenty ten theme (they released an update to twenty ten this week that I installed with the 4.2 update). Simple additions or minor changes to the header, sidebar, footer and css. Nothing fancy, just formatting and display changes, adding images, etc.

I was using another login page renaming plugin. I reactivated it and it appears to work fine with WP Simple Firewall so I just disabled in your Login Protection options the Rename WP Login Page and the G.A.S.P. Protection.

I found your article https://icontrolwp.freshdesk.com/support/articles/3000000959 and that got me back in.

Any thoughts on why the Login Protection/Rename WP Login Page option gave that result?

Dang. I’m caught in an infinite login loop. It redirects to the “Not found” page. Clearing the cache didn’t help …

The url its redirected to is my correct hidden login url but the page displayed is the WP theme page “Not found”.

Sounds good to me. I was reading a comment by another developer of another security plugin who said not to use more than one security plugin and I’ve been using Bad Behavior and Sucuri. I’ll disable both but I may keep Sucuri around and enable it once a week to use their malware scan.

Thanks for all the quick responses!
