Hey Guys..

Got a quick off topic question here.

I'm getting a slew of hits from my web hosts server literally every minute. This is showing up in my stats and logs "/?attest=true". The web host said it's WordPress pinging itself. I disabled trackbacks in WP discussion config, and disabled allow pings in my posts. But WP appears to be still pinging itself.

Any suggestions?

I would check your other plugins or wp theme... I am not aware of standard, stock wp having a query arg of ?attest...  a quick check of the wp core and I dont see any processing of such a query arg...
