It’s wrong to think that this plugin will get you to page one of Google.
Using this plugin is about the ONLY thing you can directly do yourself to get ranked higher, but it’s only useful for telling Google what to find on your page. It’s up to Google to determine if you have the credibility to be on page one and they use hundreds of factors to determine that.
If you want to get to page one then you need to think about how to get people to link to you as an authority on your subject.
You may want to check my free training I did on this here about SEO:
Thank you! Love your plugin!
They were telling me I couldn’t delete the PHP.ini but they were referring to the server PHP.ini and not the one in the folder I told them (the one in the same on with .htaccess). I can’t believe they couldn’t distinguish the difference. Why would I or a plugin crash the server? Ridiculous.
I did delete from WordPress first, yes.
Unfortunately, my hosting folks tell me that I can’t just delete/rename my PHP.ini file, but I think I’ll try it again with their help right now.
I’m really having an issue with this because when I deactivate and then delete your plugin folder, I never see the following when I reactivate: http://ninjafirewall.com/wordpress/static/screenshots/22-install.png
I’m reactivating and then waiting for a long while. I am running varnish, so maybe I need to wait until it catches up. The php.ini and .htaccess IS being updated.
I took a chance and deactivated and then deleted the folder, but it still seems to remember my choices and does not present me with user.ini or php5.ini. I created a php5.ini and it didn’t allow me to choose it.
Yes, I did ask my host and they didn’t seem to know what to do.
OK, so I have a bit of a dilemma here.
When I reactivate, it does not present me with a choice of which file to choose between user.ini and php.ini.
I’m concerned that if I don’t follow your warning and I deactivate and then delete your folder with your plugin that something will go wrong.
Is it safe to deactivate and then delete your folder?

In reply to: Changing default /wp-admin and /wp-login.phpIpstenu, I’m not asking for information other than some instructions on how to safely make my own login address.
I read what you sent, if it’s any consolation to you, and I have been testing SEVERAL plugins and what I have found is that none of them appear to work with multi-site. Even the fine folks at LiquidWeb who have been using a number of different approaches to stem the Brute Force Attacks have sent me links to plugins that are not multi-site compatible and they have also tried to get ones I have tried to work properly without throwing 500 errors.
I have no doubt you want to help, and thank you for that, but I really did know what I was requesting and I still am waiting for my request to be fulfilled and not redirected. If you don’t have those instructions, I’m really not sure why you think I should be given something else.

In reply to: Changing default /wp-admin and /wp-login.phpI appreciate your insistence that you have a solution, but as I had mentioned, I already talked with them about this AND with a little help from WordFence, I’m currently blocking those who fail to put in a password after three attempts as well as anyone using “admin” as a username. This helps to stem the flow, but really, what is needed is a sea-change strategy here. We can’t rely on workarounds to fix this for everyone (and by the way, you say there is no one fix and yet you seem insistent that yours is the way to go).
I’m saying there IS one fix for everyone and that is to eliminate the address where hackers go to.
I’m not a programmer, but it seems to me that having a URL to go to (accessible via email recovery) that will set a cookie which can make the login door visible would be a smart way to go.
If I knew how this “referral request” worked and I were a programmer then I would make my own plugin and then take every single Brute Force Attacker and redirect them to their own address via .htaccess.

In reply to: Changing default /wp-admin and /wp-login.phpThey do use ModSec already and it’s screwing up my efforts to use plugins to thwart Brute Force Attacks.
While I appreciate your viewpoint that “they’re not wrong” it really doesn’t help me. I have over 70 customers including ones who access their site via Hughes ISP and their IP address literally changes every five minutes. It is truly impossible to limit by IP with such customers.
I’m really amazed that there is no solution here for such an obvious vulnerability. If you have just ONE target page accessible via millions of addresses which creates millions of targets being hit continually, then you increase the target to millions TIMES millions and see if that doesn’t improve things a bit.
After all, the default “admin” name did get changed, right? Why can’t there be some instructions on how to make this more bulletproof?

In reply to: Changing default /wp-admin and /wp-login.phpI am also currently using WordFence which helps to mitigate the problem but I still have 3×70 attempts using ‘admin’ every so often and that’s just not good enough. I need to remove the door completely rather than allow three knocks.

In reply to: Changing default /wp-admin and /wp-login.phpI use LiquidWeb and they think the best solution is to block by IP address and I have over 70 customers who log in from different devices so that’s not going to work.

In reply to: [Rename wp-login.php] Love Your Plugin; Stopped Working RecentlyThanks for helping me with this so far. I look forward to another occasion when we can get this done. I’m using 1.9 right now.
