Oh my…I did not realize this.

Thanks for the heads up. That must be why it sucks…lol

For those who find this:

My steps were going into the Users>Subscribers(Or Default Role For Visitors) and observing the names and emails.
You will notice how the email addresses appear…while some users have protection and WordPress protects that as well most of them were bots.

Installing a Captcha for signup
Going into your hosting account (I have one with a CPanel) Go to Stats>Last Visted
– Or find a plugin like Wordfence that will allow you to see the IPs who visited last.
Open another tab and go to the IP deny manager.

I used IP Address Lookup to ping these IPS and if I didn’t get a responce it would get blocked.

Neat trick: The IP Deny manager tells you some things that will help you bulk deny any using similar addresses. Sure its drastic but site performance and security > Being picky.

Currently Contacting The Theme maker and awaiting a response.

This is very odd as now its becoming more random through my site.

I brought it down but even in maitenance its telling me that there is an Error.

I uninstalled all plugins and had to forcibly remove them as well as the Theme using FileZilla

funny I ended up fixing it myself lol :3

So in relation to my previous post… Seemingly this was the fix.

First I started fresh and re-installed WordPress. The first time it did nothing. And then I went into Settings>Permalink and then I changed it to something else like “Post Name” and for some odd reason it worked.

In relation to another forum fix, the .htaccess could have been corrupted and doing this regenerated it. Or something along those lines. Maybe I just got lucky lol.

Hope this helps someone else.

Did some more research into the images, when posted on the site Or click view attachment page it takes me to

“403 Permission Denied
You do not have permission for this request /wp-content/uploads/[ImageFileName]”

Any ideas?

Nothing in clear relation to my topic unfortunately.
