My hosting provider said that my site is requesting an excessive number of TCP connections, which made the automatic system to block TCP connections. I’ve made some changes in order to make the site lighter and see if that changes… Would that be what’s preventing the site from accessing www.remarpro.com server?

Hello, and thanks for the reply Mateus! It took me a couple days getting an answer from my hosting provider.

I asked about the SElinux, and they told me that since it was a shared hosting, they couldn’t change the settings. They suggested me to upgrade to a VPS. Of course I do not need a VPS for a WordPress website that cannot connect to www.remarpro.com, especially when I’m not even sure that’s going to fix the issue…

I will try and convince them to fin another way, but I’m guessing it’s not going to be possible. Any other thing to check???

Regarding the SSL, I completely deactivated the SSL and still it didn’t make a difference…

Any thoughts?

I just installed a plugin called Redirection and set that redirection, but Google Webmaster Tools still does not recognize it giving me the following message:

“We have not found any guideline 301 redirect for your site. For more details, see the Scan tool like Google.”

If it is possible I’d like to avoid using plugins, as I try keeping a low number of plugins. Isn’t just a code in .htaccess what I need to add? Why does the site redirect but it’s not recognized by Google WMT?

[ No bumping please. ]

OK I finnally solved it, no need of greek gods (or perhaps they inspired?)

Apparently my database was overloadad, so I had to login to phpmyadmin and delete/clean some tables.

Hope it helps someone. Apparently there are many other possible reasons, searching for this error in Google gave me many different solutions, although none mentioned a full database.

Just one thing though, in case someone in a future wants to use that piece of code, it is missing an apostrophe before 'post-format-video'
Thanks again!

Oh!
That was it… I had tried adding both to the array but I was doing it the wrong way… And ended up over-complicating it!
This is perfect thanks!!

Hello, tonight I am having the exact same attack.

I have Wordfence set up to block any IP that tries logging in 10 times, and in only 5 hours I got email notifications of around 1.700 blocked IPs. All of them with no login name.

Did you guys just stop receiving these attacks after some time? Or is it still going, but Wordfence stopping them??

Thanks

It seems to work fine now, I did the “cache everything” option in CloudFlare. Thanks for the advice! (:

Thanks Esmi and Viktor for suggesting Cloudflare. I have been trying to use it for these days, but I am still getting hundreds of IPs connecting to these URLs where the malitious files were. Each of them load the page with the 404 Error, so that is some bandwith that is being taken.

CloudFlare support suggested me to set a “cache everything” filter to those URLs, but still I see these IPs through the “live traffic” tool of WordFence.

I’ve just installed Cloudflare to check your suggestion, but it doesn’t seem to let me block IPs by URL attempted, only if I directly write an IP. My problem is that there are hundreds of different IPs pointing to those infected files…

My host told me that they cannot do that because I am not in a dedicated server, but shared. In the other hand they say that as long as the files don’t exist, nothing would happen… but I don’t like the idea of hundreds of attempts of connection per hour done by hackers…

Finnally!

I asked our providers to install the GD Library module, and finnally after a few hours of wait they told us it had been installed.

The different sizes were available straight away, so I only had to use the Thumbnail regenerator plugin in order to have the most recent ones available as well.

Thank you very much Esmi! (:
I’ll close the topic.

Yes, that is the case, it only happens with the new image uploads (and also, the option of choosing between different image sizes has disappeared)

And no they are not looking for missing extensions, they suggested us to find it ourselves (and I don’t really know how this works)

So you reckon is the GD Library? Do you know what should I do to install it then???

They did the migration using cpanel’s migration managing system. They say there may be a PHP extention that was installed in the original shared server that isn’t in the new one.

Does anyone know which Apache extention is needed to visualize and solve this problem??

Thanks for the suggestion. Before posting here I read for a while and found some people with the same issue, and I already tried regenerating the thumbnails, but no luck.

It’s not that the thumbnails aren’t right… The new images don’t even have a thumbnail created =/

I’ll try contacting the hosts… Thanks!

Let me know if anyone has any further thoughts (:

Well it was the providers themselves who moved everything, I don’t really know how they did it, but the only thing that seems not to work is the image resizing setting. I’m looking at the Moving_WordPress page now.

Anyone knows what exactly should I check for this images issue?

By the way, the site is SomosNBA.com, as you see the thumbnails are all CSS-resized-rectangles instead of square thumbnails.
