WordPress, Imunify360, Updating Failed JSON Response

ByHenry Neufeld January 12, 2021

If you are using WordPress on a server with Imunify360, and get the error message “Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.” check whether you have any 3rd party rule sets enabled. This has happened to me twice following an update, so I thought someone else might be helped by having a specific answer for the precise server setting.

To check, go to ModSecurity vendors on the WHM menu. It should list vendors and rule sets. In some cases, using any third-party rule sets will give trouble with WordPress.

I am also using CloudLinux, the LiteSpeed server, and LiteSpeed cache.

Will Vista become Standard?
ByHenry Neufeld October 6, 2008

Jason Hiner thinks not. The problem is likely less that Vista is bad, than that it is new and different and just a little clumsy for people who are accustomed to Windows XP. The idea of resolving security issues by forcing people to respond to the computer more often may be necessary–I don’t really know–but…

Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit
ByHenry Neufeld March 19, 2013March 19, 2013

I recommend Malwarebytes Anti-Malware regularly. I like to call it the “biggest broom” for sweeping out a computer that has been infected. I want to alert you to a new tool from the same company, Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit (HT: TechRepublic). It’s still in Beta, but is quite well along in that testing. Be sure to read…

Two Factor Authentication (2FA) for Ordinary Users
ByHenry Neufeld November 5, 2018November 5, 2018

Computers users have gotten used to using user names, passwords, and pins to secure their data. They may not be thinking of it in terms like “securing my data,” but they don’t want snoopy people in their phones, tablets, or computers. Unfortunately, many people have passwords or pins that may be easily guessed.
