Sorry – just realised this is WordPress forums not your own blog…. of course they’ll have that on. I just want it to be easier for myself and my blog subscribers to be able to send pretty comments with photos as against plain boring text and “choose file” at the bottom of the comment block – again, off topic, sorry.

Good grief I noted you let users respond in blocks with html etc etc. I’d no idea you could enable that in WordPress. But I’m off topic.. Sorry.

Hi – thank you. I’m assuming as I’m using hosted wordpress, the direct link won;t be of use and I need to wait for the updates, feel free to ridicule me if I’m wrong ??

I’m glad you put this in – I have EXACTLY the same problem – but I’m being asked to “fill in the correct answer to the security question” – and I’m the site owner. I THOUGHT I was getting less comments than usual – thought I did get one today. I thing in 2 days I’ve been told I have to “fill in…” – the only way out of it is to disable the plug-in – not ideal.

I’d really appreciate if anyone comes up with the solution to this – author or anyone else. For the record my site is https://tech.scargill.net

I will.

HAH I just spotted that down at the bottom – ok I’m off to start converting old stuff…

Ah, I SEE, only files NEWLY uploaded. I just cut and re-pasted the image here…so it made a new image and that is WEBP – so how do I tell it to go through all the exxisting web pages (probably thousands of images) and convert those?

Hi there Mateusz – no I assumed the instruction re: using a cron file would do it automatically – there are LOTS of images… did I miss something?

I just looked – my images are in /wp-content/uploads and various folders underneath that – pretty much sorted by date.

It seems your software has created a folder /wp-content/uploads-webpc/ and in that is an .htaccess file and a folder called uploads and inside that, there are only 2 automatically generated test images in there.

Any ideas?

Pete

Hi there Mateusz
this page https://www.scargill.net/cats-who-would-have-them-we-do/ and cleared browser cache after loading the webP convertor… I waited maybe 30 minutes before looking at the page – and followed your advice on hitting F12, selecting NETWORK then Img and looking at the TYPE column…

Am I missing something? I’m just seeing my PNG and JPG files in the TYPE column..??

Pete

I found it – gone. It would help immensely if WordPress lists of users would appear in some kind of order – alphabetical would be a good start. That dropdown list appears almost random.

You were right, I’d forgotten to delete admin….. thanks.

Hi

I sent you the screenshot as requested – admin should be being blocked instantly but it isn’t….. 3 attempts and blocked – but of course then the person moves onto another IP. I’m gettinf dozens of emails a day from Wordfence..

Pete

Hi WFAdam – thats exactly what I’ve been using…

Firewall – all firewall optiond – brute force protection… I wish I could include an image here…

Ticked Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign in as these usernames = I’ve added tech, admin and login – yet I am stioll getting regular emails saying that these people have been banned after 3 attempts (I set the max attempts to 3). Am I missing something? It isnt stopping them – and of course they then just go onto anotrher IP address – but from what you are sayingf it should ban them immediately. I set this up days ago and still I’m getting dozens of “exceeded 3” every day – mainly for admin.

HELP

Pete

I’m wondering if I’m one of very few using this theme. I can’t surely be the only one having trouble getting the WordPress editor to match widths and sizes during editing to the widths and sizes of the final output. Most annoying, a shame as I find the theme otherwise excellent.

Thanks – I avoided Image elevator as it was commercial. You have to use the commercial version really – and it needs a licence for every blog.. I have several.

Imagepaste doesn’t work at all for me – hit control V or PASTE and nothing happens.

Thanks anyway.

Pete.
