Hello Robert, While this is a quick solution and WPMU DEV may have a better way to do this, a simple way to do this is to go onto the text tab near the visual tab on the editor and paste the following code in. <img src="https://yourdomain.com/folder/image.png" alt="Image Alt Text"> If you need to style the image, then you can use this example <img src="https://yourdomain.com/folder/image.png" alt="Image Alt Text" style="width:200px;height:100px;"> Hope this helps, Thanks, Jordan.

Hello Carsten Enke, Earlier this month, WPMU DEV decided to 'retire' 90% of their plugins, as addressed here. This does not mean they are dead, instead, they are accessible for everyone to use and develop. You can find CoursePress specifically here. While it is sad to see WPMU DEV focusing on core plugins instead, this will benefit us in the long run, as WPMU DEV will have more time and resources to focus on the bigger plugins, such as Smush. Understandably, it may not be fortunate for you if CoursePress was the biggest selling point for you. Thanks, Jordan.

Hello Dan, Unfortunately, Smush can only work with the files present on your server/hosting, so if the image files are too big to upload, Smush obviously won't be able to access them. WPMU Dev do have a good tutorial on how to increase your memory limit, which the upload max filesize shares an area with, so the process is the same. That tutorial can be found here. Personally, I would never recommend having an image filesize above 1MB if you can help it. Thanks, Jordan.

Hello Tho Bui, Thanks for the response, I appreciate your help with this and will follow the steps outlined. If anything else is needed from me, please do let me know! Thanks Again, Jordan.

Hello BMDteam13 While the locations in which the sites are available may not matter to you, the core concept for the Internet is world-wide-access (or world-wide-web); WPMU DEV's uptime monitor likely checks from multiple locations/servers, when one cannot communicate with your website, that's when an alert is generated. If I'm right in that thinking, then Uptime is working as it should. If you need a more tailored solution, WPMU DEV may be able to configure something specifically for you, otherwise you may need to find an alternate service for this. In my view, having your IT team to fix the connection issues will be best; what happens when one of your clients is in another country; what happens when you're in another country and can't access your own site? Always best to have maximum connectivity, even if you're only targetting a specific geographical market. Hopefully, this makes sense, Thanks, Jordan.

Hello Annette Goff, If the website you're backing up is quite large, then even at 100% it can take a while, most backup solutions will complete an integrity check after backup and this too can take a long time. As for other backups, while it's working, I can't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to run more backups, if it was a danger it's safe to say they wouldn't let you do it so should be safe to try. Thanks, Jordan.

Hello! Adding on from wolf Bishop, if you're checking server logs on the machine that your sites are hosted, it likely won't report that there has been any downtime if it was a temporary network issue. The best way to check if WPMU Dev's plugins are giving false readings is to use another monitoring service alongside it for a few days and see if the results are the same. This article is a good read to find a few monitoring services, some have free plans. Hope this helped, Jordan.

Hello Nithin, Thank you for that confirmation, thankfully, Prathamesh Palve managed to turn off Lazy Loading which appears to have been causing the issue; however, I understand that it may be a broader problem with Smush itself, so I'll be more than happy to keep the site available for the developers to analyse. Please let me know if anything else is needed from my side. Thanks, Jordan.

Hello Kenneth - Welcome to the WPMU DEV family; I hope you'll enjoy it here as much as I have! Okay - So, the documentation on SmartCrawl is quite extensive and can be found here. There was a similar request which was answered by jnkfrancis previously and his responses may interest you. And lastly, I found a tutorial here As for direct help, I'm sure one of the WPMU DEV Support members will be here soon to help. Hope that helps! Thanks, Jordan.

Hello Labham, Firstly I'm sorry to hear your site appears to be under an attack. As for DoS or Denial of Service, is an attack that works by sending malicious packets, or traffic, to a website in an effort of overwhelming the web server. You may have also heard about a DDoS attack, which is the same method, but DoS comes from a single source while DDoS, Distributed Denial of Service is an attack often launched from multiple compromised systems within a botnet. In light of that, I do not think you are under a DoS or DDoS attack. Instead, someone could have access to your FTP so you should look to reset these to be on the safe side. You should also make sure you recognise all the plugins and are from legitimate sources. Most importantly of all, always keep your WordPress installation, theme and plugins up to date wherever possible. As for these four files, could you share the name of these? If deleting them caused your site to stop working, it is likely they are being used by your theme, plugin or WordPress itself. Do you get a 500 error, for instance? Thanks, Jordan.
