All is good, I monitor on a regular basis, in wp admin, to make sure the site is performing as expected. Yes, I first went to users to make sure others hadn’t invaded. * Thank you, * Tom * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Publicly Accessible file found: user.ini](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/publicly-accessible-file-found-user-ini/) * Thread Starter [splitfinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/splitfinger/) * (@splitfinger) * [1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/publicly-accessible-file-found-user-ini/#post-18897116) * Hi Margaret, WordFence scans, as well as trying the file url, show the file is now not available. Odd thing is, I logged into my wp admin dashboard today, 2FA was disabled somehow, and the WF plugin was deactivated. I went to my host CP and the wordfence_old folder had been renamed to wordfence. I activated WF and optimized it all again, and scanned to find the user.ini file not listed-good. All without me doing anything, which is completely weird, and has me wondering how that all happened. Must be a WF angel or something? * Thank you again, * Tom * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Publicly Accessible file found: user.ini](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/publicly-accessible-file-found-user-ini/) * Thread Starter [splitfinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/splitfinger/) * (@splitfinger) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/publicly-accessible-file-found-user-ini/#post-18896606) * Hi Margaret, thank you for replying. I didn’t receive notice of your post, sorry for delay in responding. * Thank you for patiently explaining the issues and reviewing the files.

I see there have been no replies to resolve. The developer is a regular support contributor, thought he might answer. In my notice it does note: * (This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in **/hermes/walnacweb07/walnacweb07af/ b1633/myhostaccount/htdocs/mywebsite/wp-includes/functions.php** on line **6121** * I’ve tried to locate line 6121 but lines of code are not numbered in my ht files, and I’m not a developer, just the administrator. If I can find this line, the line about the Function I guess, then I could update the load time? Have you found a solution? * Thank you splitfinger * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [multiple login attempts by random user names misdirected to my WP admin login](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-login-attempts-by-random-user-names-misdirected-to-my-wp-admin-login/) * Thread Starter [splitfinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/splitfinger/) * (@splitfinger) * [9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-login-attempts-by-random-user-names-misdirected-to-my-wp-admin-login/#post-18633306) * Hi hishamkhasawinah, great to get additional information on protecting my site, will incorporate the solutions, along with all pertinent steps and solutions received here, to maximize protection.

That’s all clear, the state of today’s internet banging us at every chance – your words help relieve my thoughts of being under attack. As it hadn’t been a malicious assault into my admin I calmed down and that’s when I wondered if it was a result of others being messed with and posted my thoughts. I like getting the notifications, no bother there, it’s reassuring that Wordfence is working great. * thanks again threadi, * Splitfinger * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Assigning users roles for web designer, not as administrator](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/assigning-users-roles-for-web-designer-not-as-administrator/) * Thread Starter [splitfinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/splitfinger/) * (@splitfinger) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/assigning-users-roles-for-web-designer-not-as-administrator/#post-9838762) * Kjodle, Thank you for thinking through my statement and replying. In reading you are seeming to suggest that a website can be built (by built I mean selecting a WP theme and creating the original pages that first establish a website) by a web developer off site and then loading in. Remember I’m not tech oriented, but isn’t the dashboard where you build a site, everything is there to create new pages, add content, functions, etc and is where my developer is building the site. And no I’m not referring to adding content as in a blog or to update sections – I understand assigning those roles/functions, I’m talking about how a website is first created. * In reading through the descriptions of roles that can be assigned on the dashboard, the administrator seems to be the only one that allows for adding/creating pages. That is where I drew my reaction from. I am having someone, a website developer, build my website and they are doing it through the WP dashboard, that seemed to be the way it goes. It is not that I having issues with the developer but it dawned on me that as an administrator, the only role that allows a website to be built, the developer could also alter the roles of users on/of the dashboard including me the “owner” of the website. The reason I hired a developer is to build the site, I can’t perform the task of creating it so there’s no choice but at some point to allow the developer access to the site. It’s at this point, irregardless of where the site is actually created – in a test demo or on the WP dashboard, that they would have the administrator role. It just seems to me, as when you have a multi site super admin role, you could monitor a site administrator. It’s a matter of hierarchy of roles, one person, the “owner” of the site should be the only one allowed to assign roles. I guess what I’d ask for is a role for those who do build the site be established as a role subordinate to an administrator and without the ability to assign/change the roles of other users on the dashboard. It seems to be an open flaw. Not everyone wishing to have a WP website is a web developer, I would imagine many are just business owners like me who want a website built and decided that using WordPress offered the best function and use. It seems to me a simple oversight, unless I’m missing something. You have the perspective of a web developer it seems and are much more comfortable and with knowledge of tasks I cannot perform or am aware of. Yes the website is on my server, and no the developer does not have access to that. * I appreciate you taking the time to respond, * Tom Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total)
