[wp-edu] About to give up

Have you tried WordFence? Free Plugin works great for locking things down.

So sorry to hear about this Darcy!

We’ve kept things up to date and secure for about seven years now, but I know you don’t want to hear that!

I have heard many very good reports about Sucuri https://sucuri.net/wordpress-security/wordpress-security-monitoring
both for ongoing monitoring and for cleanup once the problem is happening.

For hosting, I think (especially if you don’t have real support), the folks at Reclaim Hosting are going to be a lot better support and caretaking.

Hi fellow Wordpress multisite users

We have been using Wordpress multisite with our School of Journalism class sites for the past five years. It seems that we have finally lost the battle with plugins and updates. Security is breached, unexplained traffic is taking down the servers and nothing is reliable. The competent people who did the original install are long gone.

Have any of you faced similar problems with an old WPMS network? Do you have an outside host that keeps things running smoothly? Have you changed to a new system?

Thanks for your feedback.

Best,

Darcy
