Thanks for the link but that does not help me, its when I try to update my advanced settings I get the message //// Possible security attack! I tried the option below but every time I hit the save button I get this message //// Possible security attack! and nothing saves.
Second Option:
Navigate to your Admin Panel>Settings> Advanced Settings> Other
replace the current impact level values to a -1 (negative 1) for both of the following
1) Total security impact threshold to send report: (This is the impact level defined to trigger an email sent to you)
2) Total security impact threshold to send report and block aggressor: (This is the impact level defined to trigger an email AND block access to your website)
Doing the Second Option will completely disable PHPIDS and you will no longer receive Possible Security Attack messages OR risk being blocked from your site. *** By disabling PHPIDS, you understand that your site could be a risk for an actual attack.
Hope this helps everyone understand better.
