Apologies To All Who Were Locked Out Of The Real Fresh TV site

Posted on January 28, 2008 by in Announcements

We’re Back!

We were too!

The Real Fresh TV site has not been updated for close to eight weeks because shortly before I left the country for a 4 week holiday around Christmas, I discovered that I had been locked out of the site.

Every time I tried logging in, I received this error message:

Error 403

We’re sorry but we could not fulfill your request…

Your Internet Protocol address is listed on a blacklist of addresses involved in malicious or illegal activity.

See the listing below for more details on specific blacklists and removal procedures…

My immediate reaction was that the site had been hacked and I spent a few frantic days before I went away trying to track down the offending hacker.

Thankfully, after much investigation on returning from holiday, I discovered that the problem lies with a WordPress plugin called Bad Behaviour which protects the site from comment spam.

I duly installed the latest version of Bad Behaviour and it’s been working like a charm.

Apologies to anyone who tried commenting and received a similar error message.

Thankfully we can now put all that behind us.

There’s much good news in the pipeline.

Stay tuned.
