I've only had this problem since updating the plugins and WP to their current versions. I've check the plugins one at a time and isolated this situation. WP Security Scan deactivated and the Page Block plugin works fine on all pages. Activate WP Security Scan and it shuts down Page Block.

I am not techie oriented and have no idea what to do. Should I delete and reinstall the Security Scan? Please share you insight and suggestions. This same situation occurs even when I switch to the default theme. I don't know what to do or should I get a new security plugin? I really like both plugins and need them.

My WP version is 2.9.2, Atahualpa version is 3.4.3, Firefox browser, Windows XP Media Center SP3.

Thank you,
Craig

I had some issues with WP Security Scan and no longer use it.

Security Scan caused problems for me too, but I can't remember which plugins it interfered with. There are other ways to protect your site from hackers. I use several plugins like Bad Behavior and one that limits access attempts.

Thank you for the response and feedback. What other security plugins would you suggest in addition to Bad Behavior. When I read the different choices out there, it's not unlike the menu in a Chinese restaurant, if you know what I mean.

Look forward to your response. I feel really exposed right now.

Limit Login Attempts is a good one. I have it set so that a user who inputs the wrong login info 4 times is locked out, for 20 minutes. If it keeps happening, that user is locked out for 24 hours. This stops brute-force attacks. It keeps a log of lock-outs.

Don't use "admin" as your username. Pick something hard to guess, make that user the admin, then delete the admin account.

Do a Google search on "Wordpress security". There are a lot of good tips out there.

Excellent Paulae! I've just been following some of your previous posts re: security concerns. I like the way you share your experiences, insights, advice, and work through/arounds. I admit, for me anyway, reading some of these posts is too much of a flashback to college math classes.

I will check out your suggestions and report back to save the next person time and confusion.

Thank you,
Craig
