    If you haven’t done so, I would recommend installing a WordPress security plugin, either Wordfence or Sucuri as both will allow you to both temporarily block all IP’s attempting to access your site via the login.php page as well as other potential WordPress weaknesses. I am currently using WordFence on my WordPress site and it has given me real peace of mind. I am using the free version of Wordfence and it is truly a good tool for anyone using WordPress.I do recommend you thoroughly read the installation guide prior to installing either plugin as you could possible lock yourself out of your site if you make a mistake during the installation, and as with all new plugin install, perform a full site and database backup before you begin!

    well. I suppose if I were just a script kiddie then you would be right, however, I do know how to efficiently write code for WordPress and while I thought I would give WordFence and try, and everything I have posted in my previous posts and this one are not assumptions, but pure facts… you should look up the definition of a word before you attempt to use it…it only proves your ignorance!

    While Wordfence does offer some automated features such as email warnings etc, everything in Wordfence can be achieved using .htaccess rules and a few simple additions to the WordPress functions.php and two 100% free WordPress plugins.

    The biggest issue with WordFence is it nearly always breaks WordPress upon deactivation and has so many variables as part of the configuration that this fact alone can cause false positive triggers. Along with the fact, it is a memory hog makes this plugin hardly worth using when any competent WordPress admin could use the same simple formula I have and achieve the same results. Sadly, it is the WordPress owners who think that after setting up WordPress and adding in a few plugins that they are a “real” developer when in reality it is far from the truth.

    So you can continue on the path of the script kiddie, while I use coding technology to protect my site! BUH BYE!

    I had checked the settings you had mentioned on your reply and only after a full uninstall of your plugin and reinstall did the alert settings begin working….I was planning on keeping WordFence install, but after consulting with a colleague working at Freebsd.org we have surmised the very same security can be achieved with some .htaccess rules and two edits to my WordPress functions.php file.
    I have had nothing with poor experiences with this plugin and the only thing that is worse is the incessant but false offer to purchase WordFence for $8.25 a month when in reality it is $99 annually and this precludes many WordPress users from choosing the premium version which in my opinion is a waste of money when some .htaccess edits and the addition of one or two “free” plugins will do exactly the same thing as WordFence….which to me sounds more as a WordOffence!

    Hello:

    As for the title on top of the image, you would need to wrap title + description in a div, put it inside the featured image div, and put something like:

    background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7); position: absolute; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 0;

    i would like to move the featured title text on my home page slider above the image as well. what page do i make the edit in, and can you explain in detail how to add this code into my edit?

    ‘background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7); position: absolute; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 0;’

    Thx in advance!
