Updating / Taking Over WordPress Plugin?

Hi there,

Any plans to support additional updates to the plugin so that it can get reopened?

If not, any interest in passing it along so that we may make said updates and get it reopened?

Many, many thanks for all of you efforts to date.

Plugin blocks legit user from access

While trying to access /wp-admin my developer was greeted with a 404 Not Found page. He was able to login successfully initially, but then immediately was booted out. I disabled the plugin, removed IP addresses denied in .htaccess, and he was able to access the WP dashboard again.

If you’d like more info to help diagnose this issue let me know and I’ll try to provide it.

I’ve been pleased with this plugin for years but just noticed it hasn’t been updated in a while. Falsely flagging users trying to access the dashboard is one thing – but I certainly hope that normal website viewers haven’t been given 404’s too.

We have used the Brute Force Login Protection plugin on our website. We want to update the WP version to the latest. But this plugin shows a compatibility issue with new WP version.
Are you in process to launch your new updates and support for this plugin?

Woocommerce protection

Does this plugin supports protection for WooCommerce login/register forms?
Woo does register new user roles, therefore it should use the same login/register forms from WordPress. Or am I wrong?

Hello, there,
I like to use the plugin very much. But I have to tell you that my website has recently been added to the Google Blacklist, because I added an older plugin to my website. Now I swore to myself to remove plugins that won’t get an update for 2 years for security reasons, so that something like this won’t happen to me anymore.

Greetings

New \ Rebuilt servers 403ing

I’ve build a number of new \ fresh servers recently that I installed this plugin on via the WP CLI interface. When I go to log in it’s 403ing, without a single attempted login.

I’ve used it for ages with no issues, so it’s a recent problem.

Handle X-Forwarded-For header

betagoo — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 05:52:20 +0000

Great, Great plugin!
But not support blocking specific IP addresses behind CDN, CloudFlare or proxy.
It would be useful, if this plugin would handle X-Forwarded-For header.
For example:

SetEnvIf X-FORWARDED-FOR 43.252.228.133 DenyIP
SetEnvIf X-FORWARDED-FOR 43.252.228.133 DenyIP
Order allow,deny
Deny from env=DenyIP
Allow from all

Changing cookie hashes seems to block everyone

CatchThePigeon — Thu, 03 Nov 2016 10:41:41 +0000

Replies: 1

I recently made some changes & upgrades to my site.

In order to make everyone log in again to ensure changes are used I voided my cookies by changing the cookie hashes in wp-config.

This however meant that anyone visiting the site receives a brute force ban instead so I had to put the old ones back.

Your insights to this would be much appreciated as I have always previously used that method to ensure everyone logs in again.

Manually unlocking each IP address?

dimitriosvasileiou — Mon, 15 Aug 2016 07:55:26 +0000

Replies: 1

In the last few days I had 50 IP addresses blocked.

First of all, the biggest problem of the plugin is that it keeps those blocked for ever, why?

Another problem is that I tried to unblock those 50 IDs only to find out that I had to do it one at a time and wait for the page to refresh, each time. Come on guys, seriously? Is it so hard to have the ability to select ALL blocked IPs and unblock them at the same time?

One more suggestion, why don’t you allow the function to block an IP for a chosen period?

Custom ErrorDocument 403 and FilesMatch

Max — Mon, 28 Mar 2016 21:02:33 +0000

Replies: 2

Thanks for a great plugin. I have found something, though, that doesn’t work as expected.

In .htaccess, the line

ErrorDocument 403 "Custom message"

has no effect, unless these lines are removed:

Instead of the custom message, a blocked visitor is presented with the standard Apache

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Not immediatly after being blocked, but on the following attempts – when the IP has been added to .htaccess.

Label whitelist IP addresses

Any chance you might add the feature of optionally labelling IP addresses in the whitelist? It’s unlikely to be a long list, and it would be handy to be able to identify with a glance of what belongs to who, or a description, a date added, or something.

.htaccess corrupted with most recent blocked IP

ufengineering — Sat, 23 Jan 2016 18:51:13 +0000

This plugin has been working fine for a couple of months. However, late last night it blocked an IP and instead of appending it to the blocked list it cleared my entire .htaccess except for the following:

# BEGIN Brute Force Login Protection

order deny,allow
deny from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (blocked IP)

# END Brute Force Login Protection

Which brought my site down. Any idea why? Panicked “the site’s down” calls on Saturday afternoon are no fun. ??

Hi,

On several sites now I’ve had an issues with the plugin not correctly updating htaccess files. E.g. today we had a site giving 500 error because the htaccess file was missing code relating to your plugin. It had

# END WordPress
deny from 194.58.111.164

rather than
# END WordPress
# BEGIN Brute Force Login Protection

order deny,allow
deny from 194.58.111.164

Is this a known issue?
