I'm working on a site that is share hosted at ipower(dot)com. I went to login via Wordpress. But after I entered my login credentials, I got forwarded to an https login page with the error: ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT
The url I start with is http://chpconsultants.com/wp-admin or /wp-login.php. Every time I enter my login credentials and then press the login button, I get routed to https version of those links.
After I've tried to login, if I go to the front end of the site, I can see the admin toolbar across the top of the page, but if I click on anything in the toolbar, I again get routed to an https page with the ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT error.
This is a wordpress site, v. 4.8.2. PHP version 5.6.30. It's using a basic version of Sitelock, so a firewall/CDN. I don't have, and can't get, SSH access.
Here's what I've done to try and fix it so far:
1) Going into the mysql db into wp_options and checking that the urls in both the siteurl and home are using http and not https
2) Deactivating all my plugins to ensure no conflict
3) Cleaning out my .htaccess file and re-setting it with the default wordpress .htaccess
4) Adding this to my .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
5) Adding this to my wpconfig file:
define('WP_HOME','http://chpconsultants.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://chpconsultants.com');
6) adding this to my wpconfig file:
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', false);
7) adding this to functions.php:
update_option( 'siteurl', 'http://chpconsultants.com');
update_option( 'home', 'http://chpconsultants.com' );
8) Clearing the wordpress cache numerous times throughout the above steps
9) Purging the SiteLock cache numerous times throughout this process
10) Creating a new wp user through the database and trying to login with that. I got the same https results
11) Contacting Sitelock to ask if there was anything in the firewall that might be forcing SSL. I spoke with a great tech support person there, who also happened to be highly experienced with wordpress. He actually took a look at the site himself and replicated the issue. He also looked at several things including all of the above steps I did and verified he saw nothing in the site that could be causing this problem.
If you've read this far, thanks for looking! Please forgive any formatting clumsiness. I'm still a newb on posting here.
Given all of the above, does anyone have any good idea of what else I might try? Or what might be causing this?
Thanks,

I am on Bluehost Plus and had this error on one of my sub domains which had worked before. I had attempted to enable their free Beta CDN in addition to the existing SSL which triggered this issue on one of the sub domains but not another that I did the same to.
Support told me SSL and their CDN were not compatible together - the CDN install on the performance tab of the bluehost wordpress control panel is still hanging 3 days later with the spinning wheel saying "We're setting up your CDN. For now, feel free to start exploring WordPress or jump into building your website." Occasionally an 'unhandled exception' banner error shows up.
The first support agent said he would try to disable the cdn which could take 14 hrs to propogate which made no difference.
The 2nd support agent seemed confident of a fix by changing the A records and said it may take 4 hrs to propogate. This fixed it for me and I can now access all subdomains on SSL. The Performance tab is still hanging and creating errors though.
I ran into this exact same issue after upgrading from Basic Hosting to Plus Hosting on Bluehost and importing a new domain. I used the Free SSL from the Wordpress Tools, and was getting the above error on my HTTPS version (although HTTP was fine).
I had to open three tickets within 24 hours with their support, finally on the third time it was resolved.
The first two support people said it was an issue with SiteLock not working with SSL, so Sitelock would need to be disabled. After waiting the 4-8 hours they said it would take, there was no change.
The second go around was the same, except after waiting a little, my site instead gave the "ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID" error. After clicking the "Proceed Anyway" button, my site actually redirected to a random, completely different site I didn't own. Less than ideal...
The third support tech said the SSL cert needed to be uninstalled and reapplied, again with a 4-8 hour window. However, the site began working minutes after he said the changes were pending - so not really sure what's going on over at Bluehost. I get the feeling many of the Level 1 Support Techs don't have much technical expertise.
I had the same issue and contacted help. They changed the IP address and it started working right away. This was my case ID 00D36qEW6._50036dOPVh
Hope this helps someone
My colleague has installed a wordpress theme for our project and asked me to update the content on that site. so i did the same.
But unfortunately after i updated the site, he was checking the dashboard on his computer, hence it gave an error saying
"Deceptive site ahead,
Attackers in this site may trick you on doing dangerous things... and so on.."
Now he is blaming me on making this theme vulnerable.
But i just updated the content only by opening the dashboard in my laptop.
Can anyone let me know how this happened.
Please find the attached image for reference of error..
warning error given by the site on its dashboard
I have setup the AMP plugin in WordPress but while going to see the AMP pages (Appearence->AMP), I saw an error "Non-existent changeset UUID".
Also there is message in console says,
"Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('https://test.com') does not match the recipient window's origin ('https://test.ve.staging.wpengine.com')."
Please help me to resolved it out.
I've recently taken over administration of a website that has historically been ... poorly managed, and upon trying to use WordPress' built in theme customizer, I was greeted with the same message: "Non-existent changeset UUID.", although I didn't get any related messages in the console.
Apparently my issue was caused by the fact that one of the people who set up the site to begin with had decided to put the public site at www.example.com and the WordPress admin pages at example.com/__wp.
If this is your issue, you basically have two options.
Make sure to log in at both domains.
This may be a little difficult since WordPress' login page is part of the admin portion of the site and thus only logs you in to the admin portion of the site, however this proved to be a good temporary solution for me as there was a plugin installed which added a login widget on the public portion of the site.
Change the WordPress Address to be on the same domain as your Site Address.
The Option appears under Settings > General, but in my case I couldn't change the WordPress Address setting there and had to go into the WordPress database in our company's MySQL server.
After dealing with the above issues, I discovered that this issue had also caused a bunch of resources to be incorrectly loaded from example.com that should have been loading from www.example.com, as well as a number of leftovers from the site's development that were causing some resources not to load because the database thought they were at localhost.
With the help of another Stack Overflow answer I found a Database Search and Replace Script in PHP by interconnect/it (also available on GitHub) which allowed me to repair the mess previous people had made of the website without making a new mess with incorrectly serialized data, or all of the work of manually, correctly serializing the data I needed to change.
As you can see from the image above. I am experiencing some sort of error message but i have no idea what it means.
I am using wordpress 4.1 with a default theme. Every time i tried to add a menu to the menu structure i get the following message:
Gateway Anti-Virus Alert
This request is blocked by the Firewall Gateway Anti-Virus
Service. Name: Mailer.S (Trojan)
Things that i have already tried:
Using different theme
Installing and re-installing wordpress
Delete everything and start from beginning
And none of this work!
Please help me.
Thank you
You probably got infected with malware, and a service running on your hosting is blocking some malicious code. At best you can contact your hosting provider and ask them how to resolve. Malware on a WordPress site is pretty common by using outdated plugins, themes or having insecure rights on folders and files.
It's pretty hard to get rid of, you have to search trough every file to check for malicious code and check every folder for files that shouldn't be there.
I'm currently in the process of trying to create a local version of my Drupal site with Acquia, and I've completed the full installation and import process. When I got to the URL for the install, the homepage presents absolutely perfectly, but every other page gives me a basic 404 error, telling me the page does not exist of the server.
Does anyone have any past experience with this that can she some light on what's going on? It would be massively appreciated!
Thanks, Graeme
