This is an old thread, but I thought I would contribute.

Manual edit, file:

/plugins/flamingo/admin-functions.php

Line 25, changed

‘flamingo_edit_inbound_messages’, ‘flamingo_inbound’,

to

‘edit_pages’, ‘flamingo_inbound’,

…only for viewing the forms submitted. We don’t need the address book functionality, but I assume that would be somewhere else in the file.

Yes, we upgraded to WP 4.4 and it is compatible.

Now trying to see how to allow Editors to view the submissions… hrm.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help!

Thank you for your reply! I was stuck for a bit but got this to work!

Here’s my code – hopefully it helps someone else ??

In functions.php I added:

function dept_query( $args = '' ) {
	$query_args = wp_parse_args( $args, array() );

	$query = new WP_Query( $query_args );
	return $query;
}

And then in my template file I’ve added:

<?php
// the query
$listdepartments = dept_query( 'post_type=departments&post_parent=14&orderby=title&order=ASC&depth=1&posts_per_page=-1' );

// The Loop
if ( $listdepartments->have_posts() ) {
	echo '<ul>';
	while ( $listdepartments->have_posts() ) {
		$listdepartments->the_post();
	echo '<li><a href="';
	the_permalink();
	echo '">';
	the_title();
	echo '</a></li>';
	}
	echo '</ul>';
} else {
	   _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' );
}
/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();
?>

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help!

FWIW Wilco – we actually were able to figure out why/how this is happening.

Stumbled across the answer accidentally while trying to connect to one of my websites using the WordPress iPhone App. This plugin does not work for that type of remote connection – so the same IP address trying multiple times is not subject to the “Limit Login Attempts” IP Block.

I’m not sure how to solve this issue – but there seems to be a bug in the plugin specifically related to remote posting. My guess is that these robots trying to brute force attack your site are using a similar script/application that is also bypassing the plugin’s IP address blocking feature.

We have the same problem. Login notification plugin installed along with this one.

On 10+ sites we continually receive 100+ e-mails of failed login attempts from the same IP address, same username attempted. The plugin does not seem to be doing its job at locking out IP addresses after 4 (or however many) tries.

If you found a solution, wilcochris, I would love to hear!

We have the same problem with the fly-out menus in the Admin area on more than 50 WordPress websites that have been updated to 3.8.

Occasionally – and this is *occasionally* – the sub-menu will appear after 10+ seconds of hovering over the top menu item. Doesn’t exactly make for ease of navigation.

Esmi, we did all you suggested in your post. This behavior exists on fresh WordPress installations as well. Our clients are getting really annoyed by it – is there some sort of a manual CSS fix?

Hello —

We were dealing with this issue as well on one of our WordPress websites.

Deactivating the “wp Time Machine (for Backups)” plugin solved the problem instantly.

I recommend deactivating all of your plugins and checking to see if it works. Then, reactivate them all one at a time to see if you can catch the culprit.

HTH!
