    Hey @ashbryant,
    we just issued an update that fixes the problem.

    If you can’t login to your WordPress Dashboard, you have to connect to your FTP server and deactivate the plugin from there.

    Just connect to your FTP server (If you don’t know how to do that, check this article.), navigate to the “wp-content/plugins/” folder and rename the “viral-coming-soon” to something different like for example “viral-coming-soon-xyz”.

    This will cause WordPress to deactivate the plugin, so you can login again into your WordPress Dashboard.

    Once that is done, please update the Plugin Files within your WordPress Dashboard to the latest version (1.1.1) and everything should work again as before without problems.

    If you need assistance following these steps or want us to do them for you, just send us a quick email to support [at] growtheme [dot] com

    Hey there,

    Hey @irocswebs,
    thanks for the headsup. Something went wrong with the update.

    We just issued a fix that adds the missing files and should resolve the problem.

    Can you update to Version 1.1.1 and check if the problem is indeed resolved for you?

    Thanks and best regards

    Hey there,
    I am sorry for this happening.

    Could you send me a quick email to support [at] growtheme giving a bit more details (domain you use the blog on, how to replicate the error, email marketing provider you use)

    I will try to resolve the issue asap.

    Thanks and best regards

    You can simply use GET parameters.

    For example:

    When you send your form you check the values and attach them to the URL you are forwarding to.

    http://example.com/your-product/?value=1234

    On the page you check for the get parameter in PHP and assign the value to the whatever you like:


    <?php
    if ( isset( $_GET[‘value’] ) {
    $value = $_GET[‘value’];
    }
    ?>

    Obviously this is just pseudo code, you would have to sanitize the value of the get parameter, etc.

    This sounds more like a brute force attempt to your wordpress site. Probabbly your xmlrpc.php or wp-login.php file.

    You can try to install a security plugin like Better WP Security to disable the XMLRPC functionality and hide your backend. Maybe that is enough and helps.

    If not you could try out a service like sucuri.net, that is esentially a firewall that sits between your visitors and your webserver. It doesn’t let through malicious attemps and maybe solves the problem. (They have a 14 day trial you could use to see if it solves the problem).
