We have daily brute force attacks on our site, and what I’ve found is the bots are somehow scraping the “nicknames” for users who create the blog posts and using those as username attempts. We already have the blog set to not show the authors and I have ensured the nicknames are all very different from the actual usernames, along with all of the recommended security settings within iThemes.
As I know what username they are most often trying, and it is not a match for any actual usernames, I would like to set an auto-ban for IPs that attempt to use the targeted username.
Is there a way to do that within iThemes? From what I have seen, I can only create a ban list for specific IPs, and not a ban triggered by the use of a specific username.
]]>I have a self-hosted WP site and am using the WP Security plug-in. I have changed my domain.com/wp-admin login area to domain.com/something-else and added a math verification.
Is there a way that I can still use the mobile-app without changing my security settings?
Thanks,

]]>It would be extremely helpful to me if I could export/save my ithemes security settings, so that when I install my next Ithemes I do not have to go and set everything up again.
This is extremely time consuming and tedious, having to go through every single thing again. It may seem trivial but multiply this process by 120 WP sites and it becomes pain staking torture.
Maybe this process is somehow already possible, I am just not aware of it.
Could I just copy a file from “better-wp-security” folder at the backend and paste in all my other sites after I install the ithemes security plugin? PLease advise.

]]>The problem is that now I cannot view anything on the site. When I try to view the default post that WP creates upon installation, I get the following error message: “There is a problem with this website’s security certificate”. To make matters worse, I cannot now even log back into my Admin page.
I’m trying not to panic! Can anyone suggest what I’ve screwed up and how I might fix it? Thanks.
]]>I can’t get my head around this – so am seeking help.
I have upgraded to a new laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad Edge) which is excellent except for one major issue.
Somehow – it is blocking all the (javascript??) links: upload/insert media, publish media, add new category, choose from most used post tags etc.
What I have checked:
– Not Anti- Virus as have disabled this and tried
– Not browsers – as have x-tried three
– Is definitely the laptop – these links work on my old laptop perfectly
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ray
