Thank you for that tip; I have made the switch. Is there some way to keep track of which plugins are current/supported without checking each one regularly?

Anyway, it failed even when all other plugins were deactivated. I just tried again with Ultimate TinyMCE uninstalled – no help.

I should probably be clearer about symptoms. Two things happen (apparently at random) when I try to activate AIOWPS. I get either “page not found” for WP-admin or any other page within the admin area, or a “you do not have permissions” error. Sure seems like AIOWPS is starting up already defaulted to locking out/hiding the admin area – why I wondered if some settings are stored in another folder, or an .htaccess file someplace. They seem to crop up in several directories; I think I have renamed all but the one in public_html, which reads:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Are AIOWPS settings stored in another folder, so I can do a clean re-install?

I noticed a folder in wp-content (not further down in plugins folder) called aiowps_backups. This contains an .htaccess file with only this text:

order deny,allow
deny from all

Is this good? Anyway, I renamed the aiowps_backups folder, and again reinstalled the AIOWPS plugin. Activating it crashed the front end. Tried same again, this time deleting the re-created .htaccess file before attempting to activate the plugin. Still no good.

Thanks for the warning; I have uninstalled WP Firewall.

Just spent another hour going around with this. Got the front end back up, deactivated all plugins, tried to start just AIOWPS. That alone crashed the front end.

I have re-started Acunetix. iThemes and Wordfence. With an attack every minute or so, I don’t feel safe leaving the blog up without protection!

Haven’t found a list of Advanced features on the web, so not sure. But I may have activated a few of those. I have deleted the AIOWPS folder in cPanel File Manager and then re-downloaded the plugin. That didn’t help. Are AIOWPS settings stored in another folder, so I can do a clean re-install?

Fixed.

Turning off all plugins at once by changing folder name didn’t work – don’t know why. But changing the name of just the “Better WP Security” item allowed login to wp-admin. From Plugins menu, re-activated iThemes Security, then unticked “require strong password.” Everything OK now.

Can anyone please help? I am completely unable to access my admin area. Things I have tried:

– In main site cPanel, changed name of Plugins folder (wp-content folder) to PluginsXXX, and plugins.php (wp-admin folder) to plugins.phpXXX. I assume that should have deactivated all plugins!

– In phpMyAdmin, re-entered passwords for both admin accounts, converting them to MD5. (Tried this on another blog to confirm the procedure.)

– Also in phpMyAdmin, changed contact e-mails for both accounts.

Still can’t login to wp-admin with either actual password or MD5-coded version. Password is of the general form %&%abcDEF123ghi%&%, total about 22 characters, but password reset page (accessed from reset e-mail) still won’t accept it, saying “must enter a strong password.”

I also keep getting locked out. Doesn’t a plugin control that?

There must be some way to get back in – please help!

Found answer in another thread here, “Increase number of posts displayed.” (Is there a way to add a ink within a post here to other threads?)

The code is in wp-includes/default-widgets.php, lines 542-3 in my setup. I just did a search for the number 15 to find it.

Great forums – thanks for all the expertise!

Never mind – just needed to add some formatting info like

margin: 1px;
font-size: .8em;

to pagenavi-css.css. Issue seems to have been with WP and theme upgrades that somehow left older blog (but not newer one) using previous settings until a crash wiped buffers or something.

Yes – can someone please help? I only have about 80 posts, and about 30 pictures in my rotating header set. But the current post id is 991. Where are all those extras coming from, and is there any way to re-set all the page numbers?

Thanks-

Much obliged,esmi – that did enable manual save. (But isn’t a 777 dangerous in terms of public access?) However, I still can’t get timed auto-save to work in any of these plugins. Since there don’t seem to be trouble reports generally, it must be my setup. Help, please?

Thanks-

does not seem to work for me in WP2.8. I tried it both visual and HTML editors. Is there a special place to put it?

What I do is to put in a small punctuation mark (like an apostrophe) as a “blank” line, then color it white. Even if it shows up in some browsers, it should be inconspicuous. Blank spaces as place-holders don’t seem to work.

Sorry; there’s no preview option here, and that string got converted. Trying again:

a href=”https://{MYSITE dot COM}/?p=6″>{PAGETITLE}</a

with a pair of <> brackets around the whole thing.

OK, what I’ve done, thanks to

https://support.wordpress.com/links/text-widget-links/

and the video, is is to install the Text widget. With no title and the string

LINKTITLE

in the body, it does what I want. Hope that’s useful to someone else-
