How to fix WordPress locked error from wp-admin login by jetpack plugin?

You should now be able to login again, and this issue shouldn’t repeat itself. Jetpack’s Protect function looks at the incoming IP address when you try to login, and compares it against our network of blocked IPs. This works pretty well, unless Jetpack’s Protect is being told the wrong IP address by your site’s server. In your case, your server was reporting its own IP address to Protect, which is why it was blocked. This meant that every single time someone with a WordPress site on your site’s server entered the wrong password, we thought it was the same person. If your hosting provider has several hundred WordPress sites on the same server/IP, that adds up fast, leading to a ban on the IP.

I’ve made a couple of changes on our side, and Jetpack’s Protect feature will now determine incoming IP addresses a different way. You’re still protected!

– Jeremy Herve (@jeherve) – Plugin author

Solution:

Whitelisting Your IP Address

Whitelisting may be necessary if you’ve made too many failed log in attempts to your site. There are three methods for whitelisting your IP address:

If you have access to your site and you’ve not been blocked, you can enter your IP or IPv6 address(es) by going to Jetpack → Settings → Security → Brute force attack protection.
If you are blocked from entering your site, you can enter the IP or IPv6 address(es) via WordPress.com by visiting My Sites → Settings → Security → Prevent brute force login attacks
You can also whitelist one IP address by setting it as the JETPACK_IP_ADDRESS_OK constant in your wp-config.php like this:

define('JETPACK_IP_ADDRESS_OK', 'X.X.X.X');

You can find your IP by visiting any of the following sites:

www.whatismyip.com
www.whatismyipaddress.com

Understanding Media type and file format.

With the wane of physical media which is extremely limited, Digital media is exponentially becoming the dominant way we listen to music, watch videos, and view still images.

And there is no single file format that takes care of it all. (How unfortunate).

Hence it becomes important for us to understand media type and file formats. So that you don’t encounter with an instance where your device or browser says “unsupported file format”.

There is a lot to cover in this article, so let’s begin without any further delay.

Media type & File format:

Media type was previously known as MIME (Multipurpose internet mail extensions.) It is a two-part identifier for the file format, first is the type of media and second is the type of extension. ex- video.mp4

IANA is an official authority for standardization and publication of these classifications. You can check out the IANA website for media type here: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml

You can get to know about media type naming, registration trees, suffix, mailcap, and mime type on Wikipedia.

Digital media files are encoded so that computer programs or apps can read and work with it.

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

<audio controls>
<source src="horse.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio tag.
</audio>

Now have a look at the table below, which browser supports which file format for video and audio.

Video:

compatibility table

Audio:

table

Get familiar with a few formats:

  • MP4 = MPEG 4 files with H264 video codec and AAC audio codec
  • WebM = WebM files with VP8 video codec and Vorbis audio codec
  • Ogg = Ogg files with Theora video codec and Vorbis audio codec

Codec:

Many times we have to convert the file format so that it can be played by programs other than the software for which it was originally created. This is called “Coder-decoder” OR codec for short.

Converting the file format so that it can be played by another program, or by an incompatible device is called “transcoding”.

Commonly Used Digital Media File Formats:

  • Photo File Formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, BMP
  • Music File Formats: AAC (WebM), MP3, WAV, WMA, DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS
  • Other music file formats you may have access to AIFF, ASF, FLAC, ADPCM, DSD, LPCM, OGG
  • Video File Formats: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 (mp4), AVI, MOV, AVCHD, H.264, and H.265.
  • Other video formats you may have access to DivX and DivX HD, Xvid HD, MKV, RMVB, WMV9, TS/TP/M2T

Don’t worry if all of this seemed like an alien language to you, I have a solution for you.

Media playback:

You can install or take help of some application and software that will play your media file regardless of the file format that your device or browser supports. Here are a few to name.

  1. Mx player
  2. VLC Media player
  3. All connect
  4. DG UPNP
  5. Plex
  6. Twonky
  7. Roku Media
  8. Airplay DLNA receiver

How to fix WordPress error 500?

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the Tutes Club. If you have a running website that gives you a handsome amount of returns, then I know that your heart comes to your mouth when you see an error on your site.

There are tons of error out there, but the error we are talking about is WordPress internal server error 500. This error does not let you know the cause of the error, which makes it quite difficult for beginners to fix it. This is how it looks like.

500 error snap

But don’t worry we are here to help you out.

Although there is no exact cause known to this error, but we will troubleshoot some of the most common causes of this error. So let’s do it.

Troubleshooting the most common causes of this error.

Broken plugin:

Maybe, you have activated a plugin not compatible with PHP and/or WordPress version. you have to identify the troubling plugin/plugins. To fix it:

  1. Deactivate all the plugins from the WP dashboard at once.
  2. Now reload your site. If the error is fixed, then it was caused due to one of the plugin.
  3. Start activating plugins again one by one, and notice at which plugin the error returns.

File an FIR against that plugin. emoji (just kidding)

Broken theme:

The activated theme can be the troublemaker. The theme might be outdated or its back end code might have been changed. To fix it:

  1. Login to Cpanel or FTP account.
  2. Open the “theme” folder.
  3. Rename the folder containing all files associated with the activated theme.
  4. Current theme will be deactivated, automatically activating the default theme.

Congo if the error is fixed. If not then nothing is wrong with the theme. Move on to the next step.

CORRUPTED .htaccess FILE:

.htaccess file is the file that is configured at the directory level. A corrupted .htaccess file is also one of the causes of 500 internal server error.

.htaccess

To fix it:

  1. Locate this file in the directory containing wp-content, wp-admin, and wp-includes folders.
  2. Rename it as .htaccess_xyz, now reload your site.
  3. If problem is solved, then generate new .htaccess file to prevent 404 error.
  4. Go to settings, select permalinks and save changes.

Still getting the error. So read on.

Exhausted PHP Memory Limits:

If WordPress didn’t get the required memory, it may return internal server error 500. To fix it: Simply increase the PHP memory.

  1. Access the wp-config.php file via FTP or Cpanel.
  2. In that file add the line of code in point 3.
  3. define(‘WP_memory_Limit’,’64M’);
  4. save changes.

May the error has been fixed by now. If not then give it a last try. oh no emoji

Corrupted Core Files:

If one of the core files of the WordPress is corrupted. Maybe due to a syntax error while adding a code snippet. To fix it:

You need to re-upload a fresh version of wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a new WordPress installation.

Hurray! you made it.

What? Not Yet. OK…….

Now there is only one way left. Get in touch with your service provider they will fix it for you. Or you can let your developer (if you have one) look into the matter.

Good Luck! See you soon.

Thank You.

Everything about Free SSL certification & HTTPS redirection.

Here you are to make your site a secured one. So that your visitors don’t hesitate to surf your site.

Before we begin let’s understand a bit about SSL certification & HTTPS redirection.

SSL & HTTPS:

Just imagine how Whatsapp is an end to end encrypted messaging system, well! we are not talking about a messaging system here, but you got the idea.

Similarly, to establish an encrypted end to end connection between a web browser and a server you need a certification called SSL certificate.

HTTPS can be seen as the mark of security on your site, confirming that your site is under end to end encrypted connection.

Top Free SSL certification providers:

Now arises a question, How do you get this certification for free?

Here is a list of top Free SSL certificate providers.

  • Let’s Encrypt – Created by Linux Foundation with the internet security research group.
  • CAcert Free Certification Authority – CAcert has a variety of free SSL/TLS certifications available. Depending on the certification you get, they expire every six months, 12 months, or 24 months and you have to meet with the CAcert volunteer each time you renew it.
  • Comodo – It comes with the highest possible strength 256 bit. Offers a 90 days free certificate.
  • Cloud Flare – Cloud Flare is a security and a CDN company which offers universal free SSL/TLS certification. Sets up under 5 minutes and is the most user-friendly certificate provider.
  • SSL.com – The certification issued by this company is accepted by 99.9% of browsers and websites.
  • SSL For free – Good for an entire year before you have to renew it. Runs on ACME server of Let’s Encrypt.
  • StartCom – Maybe the best one for a personal website or a blog, It will give you one unlimited domain-validated SSL/TLS certificate completely free.
  • WoSign – These certifications are good for two years before you have to renew them, and they use automatic authentication, so they’re up and running in a few minutes.

5 Best WP plugins to manage SSL & HTTPS on your site:

Once you are done with your certification now is the time to manage it. You could have a hard time managing it if you are not a developer. In that case, plugins are always there to help you out, And that’s what makes WP the best CMS.

  • Really Simple SSL – Enables SSL just in one click, aims at keeping it simple with minimal options.
  • CM HTTPS Pro – This is a complete solution for installing SSL certification on your site and move from HTTP to HTTPS.
  • WP Force SSL – A basic plugin to redirect your HTTP site to HTTPS version. Don’t hope too much from it. (For simple blogs)
  • Easy HTTPS redirection – Ability to force load static files, such as images, css, js, etc., using HTTPS.
  • SSL Insecure Content Fixer – solve insecure content warning easily. Performs basic fixes after implementing SSL.

Blogger Bonus:

If your site is at blogger.com (a Google’s product), then congrats you don’t need to consider any of the above things.

You are just two clicks away from your free SSL certification & HTTPS redirection, And that also from Google.

Steps: For blogger.com
  1. Login to your blogger.com account.
  2. Go to settings > basics.
  3. There you will find two checkboxes regarding HTTPS, check both boxes as yes.

[Forgot Password] [Can’t Log In] How to reset WordPress admin password without sending reset email?

So, admit it. We put really strong passwords and then we forget them.
And you end up being locked out of your own website.

So here is how you can reset it quickly.
Go to your hosting control panel and then go to phpMyAdmin if available.

Look into the database which is being used for your wordpress installation and click on Users table

Inside users table, find the row responsible for your admin account. (check the user_nicename column for username match)
and Press edit.

On the editing screen, put your new password again the column password and Choose MD5 in left column FUNCTION

Now scroll down and save this password.

And that’s it. Go to your domain / wp-admin path and login with the new password you just saved.

What to do if you dont have phpMyAdmin?

You gotta have some kind of access to MySQL, so connect to it using the credentials inside wp-config.php file

Use the following command after replacing your details:

UPDATE `wppl_users` SET `user_pass` = 'e0a8aa81eb1762d529783cf587f6f422' WHERE `wppl_users`.`user_nicename` = 'admin';

If you remember the email address only, use:

UPDATE `wppl_users` SET `user_pass` = 'e0a8aa81eb1762d529783cf587f6f422' WHERE `wppl_users`.`user_email` = '[email protected]';

The above command will set your password to abcd@1234. After this command you can login to wordpress admin panel and then reset your password to anything you want. Or use md5.cz to generate md5 for any password string and replace it with e0a8aa81eb1762d529783cf587f6f422

Do NOT forget to replace “wppl_” with your table prefix (stored in wp-config.php file)

List of really good and important plugins for WordPress

I am listing a few common yet very useful plugins we can utilize for our WordPress websites:

Limit Login Attempts

Limit the number of login attempts that possible both through the normal login as well as using the auth cookies.
WordPress by default allows unlimited login attempts either through the login page or by sending special cookies. This allows passwords (or hashes) to be cracked via brute-force relatively easily.
Limit Login Attempts Reloaded blocks an Internet address from making further attempts after a specified limit on retries has been reached, making a brute-force attack difficult or impossible.

Features:

  • Limit the number of retry attempts when logging in (per each IP). This is fully customizable.
  • Limit the number of attempts to log in using authorization cookies in the same way.
  • Informs the user about the remaining retries or lockout time on the login page.
  • Optional logging and optional email notification.
  • Handles server behind the reverse proxy.
  • It is possible to whitelist/blacklist IPs and Usernames.
  • Sucuri Website Firewall compatibility.
  • XMLRPC gateway protection.
  • Woocommerce login page protection.
  • Multi-site compatibility with extra MU settings.
  • GDPR compliant. With this feature turned on, all logged IPs get obfuscated (md5-hashed).

Wordfence security

Wordfence includes an endpoint firewall and malware scanner that were built from the ground up to protect WordPress. Our Threat Defense Feed arms Wordfence with the newest firewall rules, malware signatures and malicious IP addresses it needs to keep your website safe. Rounded out by a suite of additional features, Wordfence is the most comprehensive WordPress security solution available.
