Hi,
I uninstalled the wordpress application on 6 May.
I then ran a thorough virus scan on my computer, which took 24hrs, in case the problem was from my IP but nothing major was found.
On May 7, I re-installed the Word press application and let it run for the rest of the day without any issues. I added a few posts every now and then. I also modified the .htaccess file to deny access to xmlrpc.php and wp-config.php as research advised this might help.
After a day with no issues, on 9 May I installed the Royal theme again, edited some of the theme’s graphics and then installed the WooCommerce plugin. Everything seemed to be going fine until May 10 when I opened a few different browser windows to edit content simultaneously which is when my IP was blocked. After 1hr, the IP was unblocked and I tried working again but I got blocked out immediately.
Statistic for the pre-theme installation:
07 May 2015 – 70 visits, 341 pages, 511 hits
08 May 2015 – 10 visits, 14 pages, 19 hits
Post theme installation:
09 May 2015 – 10 visits, 1,274 pages, 13,672 hits
10 May 2015 – 14 visits, 1,561 pages, 16,740 hits
Today I logged in from a different IP just now and viewed one product page and the stats read as follows:
10 visits, 33 pages, 230 Hits
Of interest is a System Status message in WordPress which says: “Your theem has bundled outdated copies of WooCommerce template files. If you notice an issue on your site, this could be the problem, Please contact your theme developer for further assistance.
The templates (which I have updated myself by downloading them from github) are:
royal/woocommerce/cart/cart-totals.php (version 2.3.0 is out of date. The core version is 2.3.6)
royal/woocommerce/cart/cart.php (version 2.3.0 is out of date. The core version is 2.3.8)
