Not sure why that first post is like that, sorry. But initial concern was/is that multiple contact forms send me email without any visitor being logged in and I wondered how that can happen. Not worried about the SPAM. I can deal with that.

But now that I look at another way to view visitors other than GA, I see all sorts of things that seems like they could be security issues and hoping for some explanations.

All sorts of strange things – at least strange to me – in CPanel visitors. But I have never looked here before.

Anything here worrisome?

User-agent: *
Disallow: /WPress/wp-admin/
Allow: /WPress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

Referals from binance.com

/WPress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

WPress/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1656964253.5692160129547119140625

/wp_wrong_datlib.php

Lots more, but these stood out.

Wow, it seems to happen with multiple contact froms. So developer not to be a help.
And yes works for me. And others. But the form was not filled out as no vistor. Unless they have a way to turn off anayltics tracking. I trust Analytics. Has always been right. I’ll look at another tracking to see if I see someone there that GA is not showing. Will update if someone found.

So none quite an explanation or solution as I had hoped. But thanks.

Anyone else have thoughts?

OK, a lot of playing around and the horizontal lines are gone ??

AND, I am hoping the reason there is no autoreply is because I am testing this in a STAGING version of my site. Hoping when I go live that feature will work. If not, then that will be an issue that I would appreciate some help with.

Thanks.

OK, let’s not be silly with “The internet is global, and so is WordPress. We have users from India, China, Russia, who also read this forum and help support people too. So yes, they may have looked at your site. People do live in all these countries, you know. ??”

I’ve been online since 1986. Truth.

I was concerned about being scraped. Since I know, or at least you tell me its not possible, its all good. No need to be condescending.

Thanks. Reason I asked is my site is getting hits from India, China and Russia today that show as referrals from www.remarpro.com. Did not want to create a risk or spamm issue.

Any way to remove my link above now that this is solved. Would be appreciated.

That’s perfect! Thanks! It was the #site-generator that had me baffled.

Thanks. Gotcha. They all do begin with wpstg so I shall proceed. Appreciate your reply.

Worked like a charm. Edited plural_forms.php, deleted both error logs – no more errors! Thanks again.

I may use WPStaging to try an update to 5.X and see what happens when I get so spare time ??

Thanks so much. I might do just that. Appreciate all the help and pointers here.

Hah! First thing I read is:

“Before you go any further, make sure you’ve updated your plugins and themes to the latest versions,…”

I am using a self modified version of Twenty Eleven and it is just fine. This is the kind of stuff that worries me

Thanks Dion. I shall look. And exactly on plugins. For example, I have a slider and gallery that works just like I like it. I hesitate to update them and have something that is working well change.

403’s turned out to be a browser UA string error. Fixed.

I see the changelog, Steve. Anywhere to read about the issues they caused or “gotchas”? I like to be forearmed.

I get a 403 forbidden on that link…
