Thanks Leo for your heads-up on this.
I am using ping lists for quite a while. This is part of the standard WP and can be configured here: wordpress dashboard > settings > writing
What added value does the WP Ping Optimizer provide compared to standard WP, I wonder?
It stops you from spamming 😕
People don’t write blog-posts 10-per-30second-period. But when you upload, that is what you are actually doing. Ping optimizer moderates that process.
I see. Wish I could upload/process images within 10 to 30 second-periods, though :wink:.
However, I am working on preparing a 2000+ images batch for speedy uploading and processing while still doing all the Yoast SEO. When I am ready, I guess, I better ping with the plugin, then.Thanks again for bringing this up.

Thanks Imago. Let’s see how it goes.
You will probably start missing those spam registrations

I have mixed feelings about free images. I have offered them at a number of sites over a number of years and at the beginning thought it might bring additional attention to my portfolio. Later I made offers of free images to help the site – thinking it was one of the ways they kept buyers spending time on the site.
I’ve never seen any clear benefit to my portfolio from the time when I’ve had a free image. And I once had a sale on a different site of an image that was free at another. That led me to think that buyers weren’t aggressively chasing deals, but just “shopping” where they usually shopped.
But for all that, sites still offer freebies, so someone must feel there’s something in it. I’m more than willing to donate a free image for a period of time if someone wants to experiment with whether or not this boosts traffic to the network. I’d prefer it if the size offered weren’t the largest, but that’s not a deal breaker.
Thank you Jo Ann for sharing your experience. I think this is much more worth than just theories on how freebees might be beneficial.
I use Super Cache with almost all the settings recommended by Leo and Wordfence for a while now. I didn’t encounter any problems so far…
Have you tried Anti-Capcha plugin? Smart coding traps bots but let humans register/login without jumping through another hoop.
I never liked the idea of handing out freebees and I am not interested in this.
“so far” I should add. Because I’d be very interested in how it works (or doesn’t work) for those of us who like this enough to give it try. If real sales start rolling in because of a few free images offered I’ll most definitely change my mind
In any case, thank you, ajt, for coding and providing this. 😀
I would try “extension=/usr/bin/convert/imagick.so” or “extension=/usr/bin/imagick.so” in your php5.ini to see if you can access imagick.
Then take a close look at your watermark image. It needs to be exactly the specified size. Also, it needs to be there where the links in your settings points to. (Part of Ron’s problem, I think, was that the file got somehow deleted along with other files).
I am ready. I have WP super cache plugin activated. All its options are kind of confusing to say the least. I am sure I am missing quite a lot and would be interested in a lesson or two 😀
I find it somewhat unsettling that a web host would mess with our files on their servers even without any notification. Examples of such incidents are piling 🙁 . I guess a strict backup routine is a must and no luxury.
If you, like me, don’t like to complicate login/registration for users try Anti-Captcha plugin. It is completely invisible for users yet reliably sorts out bot logins/registrations. You might start missing those “new registration” e-mails, though :mrgreen:.

BTW Ron’s problem is solved now. Uploads work again 😀
Great for Ron! – What was the problem?
Got point!
While I hate fire alarms setting off every time I fry bacon I am rather being warned once too often than once too less.
And for the records, I still have my Wordfence plugin activated and I still like it 🙂
I don’t know. I saw nothing about that wordpress attack except for that Wordfence e-mail. It has been discussed in another thread and consensus was more or less to suspect Wordfence of spamming/scamming.
The generic response from your host is kind of an insult. Why didn’t they inform you about that block being applied?
Don’t they have a phone hotline? – Blu Host has and the couple times I called them my questions/troubles were answered/solved right away by knowledgeable and very effective US staff.
