    Hi,
    I recently moved my site out of the dev folder to the live site. When this happened, it used all my memory and took up too many resources. The host deactivated all plugins and said that wasn’t the problem. They then deactivated the theme, and they said that it was the problem. I’ve since taken the site down, but I am very desperate to launch it. If you could please help me asap, I would be so grateful.

    My login in is included.

    Hi,
    Here’s an update. Finally, they discovered that nearly 20,000 people are hitting the site a day. This is just a pool and spa website in Oklahoma, and it’s ip addresses from certain countries. So, we’ve disabled the Enfold plugin for the moment until we can figure out a security tool and something to block these robots. If you have any idea what they are after, that would be great. The webhost thought maybe it had its origination in Enfold.

    Any thoughts?
    Thank you,
    Justine

    Hi Justine,

    I’m not sure I understand what you are saying here, that your theme causes 20.000 users to go to the site? You might consider using a security plugin of some sort to block the IP ranges of the countries the unwanted visits are coming from.

    Thanks,
    Rikard
