 * Thanks for the suggestion [@supernovia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supernovia/).
   The thing is I’ve got quite far with making the site with Blank Canvas, and other
   than this issue with the header it seems possible to get everything how I want
   it. So I’m reluctant to change theme in order to solve one problem and risk running
   into a different one… And also having to re-jig everything that’s currently looking
   ok… 
   I was hoping somebody might know how to tweak the code in order to give 
   me more flexibility with header. It seems like a weird restriction in a theme
   that’s meant to be ‘blank’…

 * To be fair they’re generally pretty good. They did look into it for me, and they
   helped me fix some other issues, but they say this is a problem with my WordPress
   database, so it isn’t something they can solve…
 * I don’t see any plugins anymore. Not since I tried to re-name the folder. Via
   ftp the folder is empty, and in the WP dashboard I get the text telling me there
   are no plugins installed. Before I tried to re-name the folder there were several
   plugins in it, all of which I recognised as ones I’ve been using, nothing that
   looked suspicious.
 * I don’t see anything called mu-plugins under wp-content.

 * I’ve got a feeling that my IP hasn’t actually been flagged as abusive. I reckon
   that’s some sort of phishing scam or similar, to get me to give out my details
   in order to remove the ‘ban’. I have various other WordPress sites and none of
   the others are having any issues, and the URL for the message about the abusive
   IP appears as a sub-page of the website of a produce company in Montana… (I wrote
   to the produce company to let them know somebody is using their site for evil
   doings, but no response back yet…)
 * I did contact the support guys at my host provider, and they say this is a WordPress
   issue and therefore out of their control.

 * I should add that the main dashboard window in my WordPress back-end is still
   blank. Except for one new thing – when I select ‘Plugins’ and then ‘Editor’ from
   the left-hand menu I get text in the main window saying “There are no plugins
   installed on this site.”. No other menu items reveal anything in the main window.

 * Thanks very much for your help guys.
 * I tried to rename the plugins folder to plugins-off via my ftp (Cyberduck), but
   first of all I got an error message saying “SSH Error: Cannot rename plugins.
   No such file (SSH_FX_NO_SUCH_FILE: A reference was made to a file which does 
   not exist.).”, and now the plugins folder is showing as empty, whereas before
   I tried to rename it there were 7 or 8 sub-folders (none of them named wp-firewall
   or anything else obviously dodgy looking).
 * Then I tried my hosting control panel (Gandi), but when I try to navigate to 
   the htdocs folder for the site it redirects to the same URL as the domain itself(
   [http://2jsfreshmarket.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-firewall/1/tds.php](http://2jsfreshmarket.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-firewall/1/tds.php)),
   and that page now shows the following message:
 * “Your IP address has been automatically flagged as abusive. You are currently
   banned from viewing this site. To remove the ban, please visit the un-ban page.”
 * So unfortunately I’m still stuck…
