Thank you, I’m glad to hear that. I haven’t used wp-robot much, only with clients websites. As a plugin though I would have to say ReviewAZON, I own both phpZon and ReviewAZON and RZon is fantastic, having said that though phpZon is undergoing a massive update and I’m sure Wade won’t disappoint.

I have WP Robot and what plugin should I buy to work with WP RObot?

Reviewazon or PhpZon?

Thanks

It’s good to know that their manual instructions do work because they are clear and straightforward.

I wasn’t able to use the plugin to change the tables, either. If you are going to try it manually, make sure you follow the instructions provided by the plugin to the letter. And, try it on a site that you don’t care about, in case it gets mucked up. And don’t forget to backup your database first, so you can restore it if it does get mucked up.

I see that there is a link during the wp-security scan to a how to do it manually and it sounds like it combines what Ben and you have said.

My main concern was whether that plugin would change the wp-config.php file and I guess it does most of the time.

I’m still not sure how to change table prefixes using the plugin because I don’t see where you can specify what you want to change it to.

What is the rough percentage of success with wp-security scan for change table prefixes successfully without blowing up a blog?

I’ve made almost all of the changes you’ve recommended to nearly all of my sites and I think that will go a long way but I just wanted to check to see if you thought SiteLock was worth the additional expense.

I’ll just keep updating and locking down my sites now.

Jeff

Sitelock seems like a pretty neat service to help identify vulnerabilities within your WordPress installation, I’m not sure if it would be necessary for WordPress though.

I think with a few free plugins (such as login lockdown and wp security scan) along with making a few changes WordPress can be made very secure indeed.

Would SiteLock be of any value to WordPress bloggers? I see 3 levels starting at $14.95/year.

Or are there too many things that fall outside their purview to be of any value?

Jeff

Renaming the plugin, getting in and reactivating and deleting my IP did the trick. I just didn’t scroll down far enough in the settings tab to see the list of blocked IPs.

I just hope that Xmarks doesn’t do this with every site. Firefox didn’t want to ask about the new passwords either which I thought was odd but I’ll work around it.

Thanks,

Jeff

I haven’t come across that problem, Jeff, I did lock myself out of one of my sites and simply renamed and then re-activated but I hadn’t got my settings set to ‘lockdown’. I would try re-naming the plugin and then, whilst logged into the admin area, re-activate the plugin and if the IP lock still exists you should be able to delete it from the list.

Alternatively you could try deleting and reinstalling the plugin.

Let me know how this works out for you and if the above works.
