Blogging From hobbyists to The New York Times, blogging is the way to go to express your thoughts online. This forum is designed to discuss the entire subject, including picking the best software, creating themes, getting hits and, most important of all, posting your commentaries. Hard programming issues, though, should be discussed in our PHP / MySQL Assistance forum.

The below code is a update for your .htaccess file - it can help against attacks using wordpress against wordpress.

Just add the few lines into your .htaccess file:

Code:
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^WordPress" bad_bot 

<Limit GET POST> 
Order Allow,Deny 
Allow from all 
Deny from env=bad_bot 
</Limit>
Please note that the above code works on seeing the browser. If you have Wordpress signature in your browser (a referring agent) then it will be shown as a 403.
