So the issue is over a year old and is being used by malicious actors, and is still not fixed, great.

Thanks for the link and info @todditron!

I have analyzed my logs and the suspicious traffic is nothing more than this:

Jumping in here to mention that I also got this password reset mail. The mail was sent from my site and via my mailserver. But the Emil contained the same .org.au domain/sender as OP here got, how did that happen?

Moogle Stiltzkin: No screenshots yet, i`l add some at the next update ??

Peter: Hmm, mysterious! You can always try to run it manually to see if it helps, but a bit strange that WordPress does not give any error if thats the issue.

REPAIR TABLE <name>
OPTIMIZE TABLE <name>

Do you have any caching or something that might jump in and cache something from the plugin, so it says that the issues is not fixed even when it is?

Hi,

I have updated the plugin now, and it should give you an error message if the repair or optimize fails. Try and see if that helps you ??

Hi!

Hmm, does sound like a bug ??

What browser do you use? I will try to reproduce the error and fix it if i can reproduce it.

Also: Is it optimize or repair you are trying to do? It can be that the plugin tries to fix the corrupt tables, but that does not always work. I suspect that i have forgotten to add a check that checks if the repair was successful.

Best regards

Thanks for the idea, gotta look into that ?? (although my first goal will be to fix something that can debug my wordpress)

Tried manual upgrade of WordPress, plugin upgrade still fails.
