    Hi Brian,

    I’ve been working with
    GoDaddy and we finally have a solution. In answer to your question, I’m using Senses Lite theme (which is a number of years old – I started using it in 2017). However, we managed to fix my problem and it had nothing to do with either the Limit Login Attempts or my theme. It was to do with my permalinks (no idea what the issues was, but the steps the tech gave me worked).

    The steps I had to follow were to:
    – on my dashboard, go to settings
    – permalinks (note the setting you are currently using)
    – select “plain”
    – save
    – select the setting you were previously using
    – save
    – go to the “managed wordpress” link with the cog in the top ribbon
    – flush cache

    It didn’t work immediately, but the next day it was fine (I assume it was something to do with restarting my computer overnight). Hope that helps!

    Hi George,

    I have not installed the Limit Login Attempts Reloaded plugin – it has just appeared on my GoDaddy WordPress site. If I have a look at the plugins list it isn’t included.

    You should be able to find an open post on the “Blog” page. I just checked and my “Happy New Year 2023” post still has open comments.

    Thanks.

    I don’t have Wordfence (not something I’ve added and not listed in my plugins) so I don’t think it can be that. I’ve got the same problem with the “denied for too many attempts” comment! Driving me insane. Seems to be a common problem so I hope there is a fix soon 🙁

    I can’t get the page to update. So the backend shows all the content but the page itself doesn’t update on the front end – it’s just the one page “Extras”. I can update other pages with no problems.

    For example, I add text to the existing text on the page and when I go in and look at the page in my Dashboard the new content is there, but when I look at my webpage the new content is missing.

    I’ve tried to recreate the page but that doesn’t work either.

    Not sure if that is formatting or not?

    I have been trying to get the debug log to work (following your directions above) but I can’t seem to get it and I don’t know what I am doing wrong.

    So I tried to create a new page by copying the code from the existing page and pasting into a new one – but that didn’t work either as the images were static in a long line up the page (no scrolling through).

    I’m really hoping you still have a few ideas up your sleeve?

    Thanks for you ongoing help and patience.

    Okay, so I have worked out the whole config.php thing and edited my file to include “true” and added the code for a debug log. However, I can’t get a debug log to show so I assume that means there are no problems?

    For the moment I have turned it back to false.

    I have tried other browsers. No change.

    In theme Twenty Seventeen the changes didn’t show either.

    Besides tearing my hair out do you have any other suggestions to try next?

    Thank you!!!

    Update…been flat strap at work but will follow up with provider and post back next week. Thank you again for your continued support.

    After spending ages trying to find the file I contacted my hosting company (GoDaddy) and they said because I have a managed wordpress account I can’t access my files so am unable to see or change the config.php file.

    Keeping my fingers crossed that doesn’t mean there isn’t a solution? Any other ideas?

    Thank you for your help and patience!

    Sorry to ask, but how do I access the config.php file? I’ve spent ages trying to find it but just can’t (and google hasn’t helped).

    To answer your question, the problem has been there for a while, I just thought I was doing something wrong with trying to update so I forgot about it and only got back to it this week. I hadn’t updated anything before it broke as far as I am aware (although after deactivating and reactivating I did update in case that fixed it which it didn’t).

    I haven’t seen an error log.

    Okay, after a stressful night I’ve got my website back up and running (according to the technician it was because of files that broke while doing what I was doing because I didn’t clear the cache after working on each plugin – learnt something!!)

    But after clearing the cache umpteen times and activating and deactivating all the plugins, my page is still not updating.

    I’m keeping my fingers crossed you have some more suggestions?

    Thank you!!

    Thank you. I’ve cleared my web cache but that didn’t fix it. I’ve been going through the plugins and deactivating and reactivating and I seem to have just broken my webpage (after deactivating and reactivating my Jetpack plugin). I now can’t activate the page or the wordpress admin page.

    I’ve no idea what to do =(

    I had followed “comments notification” to check I had the correct things checked to received comments (I did).

    I was receiving notifications earlier.

    I haven’t added any plugins to the site since I built it, so notifications were working with all the plugins I had.

    When I first created my website I had trouble getting email notification to work and it took some fiddling (I can’t now remember what it was that fixed it initially), but it had been working okay since then.

    Appreciate your help and patience!

    Regarding your list:

    1. I’m the author (no-one else has access either)
    2. Email notifications were and are still turned on
    3. Nothing has been coming through spam (I check it every day)
    4. Not sure how to check if there are any conflicting plugins?

    And yes, comments are showing on the Dashboard>>Comments

    Appreciate your suggestions. Thank you!
