To secure my site, I use Wordfence, which has caching capabilities. I don’t use them, however. And even after disabling Wordfence all together, I still have the same problem. :-/

I tried to disable deep-linking and no change. Here’s a link to an example page https://bit.ly/2iyQaUu

Thank you!

@doantientai94 glad I could help!

@chukdisc – I get the “album id” through Google+, which is a bit tedious, but it works. Here’s a step-by-step of how I do it.

1. Go to photos.google.com and then click on your avatar in top right corner of the page. In the drop down menu click on the Google+ profile link right under your email address.

2. Once at Google+ create a new post and add your photos. Be sure to create an album name right after the photos are uploaded using the top left drop down menu on the upload page. Set the post to public and then hit share. Now click on one of the photos in the post. Right under the photo you just opened is the name of the album. click on it. That takes you to the album and in the URL of that page you will see “album id” (the last set of numbers).

3. Be sure to go back to photos.google.com and find the album you just created. Open it. Click on “more options” (it’s the 3 dots at the top of page) and select “sharing options.” Click on the share button.

That should do it! To add new photos to an existing album, you can just add them through Google Photos without having to go through the above steps.

Cheers!

Sorry about that. I have since realized that I was using the wrong code for “album” and have found that the actual “album id” can be retrieved through Google+, so everything is now working great.

Just out of curiosity, is this the normal protocol, to fetch the album id from the Google+ url? So far, it’s been the only way I can figure since the move to Google Photos.

Nevermind, I cycled through “How does Wordfence get IPs:” and found one that is working for my site.

I think I figured out what’s happening. Why it’s happening, however, is beyond me.

It appears every hit to my site (bot or human) is being registered by Wordfence as the same IP address, which happens to be my websites server. If I watch the live preview, not one visitor has a different IP address.

The only distinction between each visit (besides the different pages visited) is the info stating operating system, browser, Googlebot, etc.

Has anybody else had this issue?

Thank you Brian. I will do that. I wanted to add that something even more strange just happened.

I just cleared cookies from my browser and when I went wp-admin to login, I was locked out as soon as the page loaded. I then got an email from Wordfence that a user was locked out, which was ME.

Here’s the strange part. The IP address in the email was the same as the IP I eluded to in my original post and the “User location” is Provo, United States. The IP address in the email is NOT my IP address, nor do I live in Provo. My host, however, is in Utah.

So, I’m not sure why I’m being recognized by Wordfence with a different IP and location.

I see. Thank you very much for the explanation. I’m very happy with responsive tabs by the way. Good work and thanks for providing it!
